FFXIV Housing Walkthrough - "Cottage Taro"

[@Wysperfauna]

lol With your behind the scenes stuff, now I know that's Zeno. Always thought it was Rhai doing the walk throughs. Love it.

[@DavidCruickshank]

That's incredible! It's amazing how people can make small spaces seems so much bigger.

[@yuzusumi]

I love your work so muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch

[@MrBratius]

As always, great work. I enjoyed watching the streams of you guys building this.

[@AkhRhai]

Thank you so much for supporting us!

[@Sibbichi]

you're so effortlessly talented ;-;

[@AkhRhai]

awww, thank you so much! I can definitely confirm it doesn't come without effort though :'D

[@chocob0rk]

Amazing work as always!! You inspire me

[@Zoey--]

This is such a beautiful simple design I'm in love with it! The bed goes so well and the gaps between the slanted collumns are so perfectly placed. But my favourite part by far is the floor sofa overlooking the garden. The bed beneath it is perfectly disguised and honestly the Miqo'te male /doze there lying on his side is S tier stuff. Absolutely perfect lazy lounging overlooking that lovely oriental garden space. Everything feels like it belongs so perfectly and the lighting and possible shader use you used to film this highlights its beauty. If you don't mind my asking what was used to build the custom ceiling?

[@MoiraineEllisande]

that was my question exactly! also: I totally agree with the rest Zoey said. I’m about to decorate a small house and you gave me many ideas with this beautiful build. thank you!

[@KZorander]

I watched part of the stream and I can say that the wooden beams are the very bottom of the spring? partitions. The ones that are just pink flowers everywhere.

[@alunia3799]

How did you manage to glitch the window into the partition? My window keeps popping out of the partition...

[@roseannchronowski8533]

Am trying to do the bathroom like what you did here. My daughter and I watched the video 1 and 2 making it but it never showed what was used for the counter and the white thing on the floor. Could you tell me what was used?

[@AkhRhai]

By "white thing on the floor", do you mean the white bench/toilet seat to the left of the sink? that one is made using 1 glade chair and 1 showcase, both found on the housing vendor! The counter/sink was made of 1 riviera bench, backwards turned bathroom wall tiles for the concrete front and an eaten oriental udon lunch!

[@roseannchronowski8533]

@@AkhRhai Thanks.

[@francescalau1854]

i love your work! is that /doze emote on the floor sofa at 1:48? :o

[@AkhRhai]

It is indeed! There's a bed hidden floated from the basement :)

[@Karna_Vasusena_]

How much Gill was the furniture in a whole? Just interested :)

[@AkhRhai]

I don't think we spent a lot on this one at all to be honest. A mil or two max! But we also had a lot of furniture already laying around of course. You can check out a stream of this being built in the let's build playlist on my channel, maybe that will give you a rough idea :)

[@Karna_Vasusena_]

Wow! I thought this was like 5 mil! I'm new to the game so I can't really afford anything, but I think I can farm 1 or 2 mil. Thanks for the answer, keep up the good work.

[@AkhRhai]

@@Karna_Vasusena_ I'd highly recommend you level up your crafters, it's an investment but you'll get a LOT back on it over time! It saves you loads in housing :3

[@KyanahFFXIV]

I love it !

[@flygonkerel781]

NICE

[@iivirulentii]

love everything about this! what's the door handle next to the kitchen made of?

[@AkhRhai]

Chochin lantern turned backwards! ^^

[@CP-sl1le]

[@AkhRhai]

Aw, thank you so much ;-;

[@CP-sl1le]

thanks a lot :D the "let's build" vid did it for me. i did practically the same as you, but didnt notice the other bed and got rly frustrated tryin to glich just the futon into the bookshelfs :) looks amazing now, thanks again

[@kaiandreasruudpettersen9337]

Wish it was possible to hire them to do it to my little plot xD

[@Soleyroun]

Wow ! It's so cozy ! We feel the asian ambiance ! I just have a question : How did you get the earring on your character ?

[@AkhRhai]

That's actually not an earring, it's just part of the hairstyle 😬 Glad you like my content ♥

[@Soleyroun]

@@AkhRhai Oh, sorry...

[@Soleyroun]

@@AkhRhai And, it can't be an earring because Mi'quotes ears are like cat's ears, not like human one -Sorry English is not my native language

[@AkhRhai]

@@Soleyroun don't worry at all, it's not my native tongue either! We all just do the best we can 😁💖

[@Soleyroun]

@@AkhRhai Yes !

[@michaelzephyros7725]

is there a list of items used somewhere?

[@AkhRhai]

There is not because it would take a lot of time making one. I'm happy to identify stuff for you if you're struggling though!

[@michaelzephyros7725]

@@AkhRhai at 0:09 the door name and the wood pillar looking things near the bed and the cushions you're sitting on?

[@AkhRhai]

@@michaelzephyros7725 The door is custom, made from fool's threshold, white rectangular partitions and a chochin lantern if I recall correctly, and the cushions are Zabuton cushions dyed snow white, available at the housing vendor. You should be able to find all these items in the furnishing preview menu. :) There's actually a VOD (in two parts) of us building this house if you like to check that out as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2amqIOwgaukhKs

@@AkhRhai thanks will check it out

[@HalvePinda]

Hii, amazing room. may i ask what kind of colours you used on the walls?

[@AkhRhai]

Hello and thank you very much! We're 90% sure it was mole brown used in this build!

[@HalvePinda]

@@AkhRhai ohh thankyou for replying! Lets hope it turns out half as pretty as this build. Then i would be happy xD

[@AkhRhai]

@@HalvePinda I'm sure you'll do just fine 😘

[@arohk4415]

Your designs are always fantastic, i used some of your ideas in my new medium house, a combination of styles and a little bit of my own influence ;) It is always good practice trying to rebuild and finding out new tricks. I have a video of my house uploaded if you wanna see it.

[@AkhRhai]

Thank you so much ♥ I'd love to see it, post me a link!

[@RPGVeir]

Do you think that using basement on small plot is waste of resources? I managed to make nice looking japanese house with basement in use, but I wonder if I could get even better results if I made second floor instead like in your "owari made" video. Probably the worst thing is that I lost lots of furniture just to put fake walls inside entire staircase + basement, but there's so much space in basement I could at least make more space'y rooms

[@AkhRhai]

Personally I don't really care for spacey rooms anyway to be honest, with the slot limitations they just end up looking empty and boring to me, so I always recommend just closing the basement off. Making the staircase bit look nice eats slots for dinner and is just unnecessarily painful tbh :')

[@AutumnMoon23831]

Love it as always! But I'm curious what did you use for the mirror to make it reflect like that?

[@AkhRhai]

It’s a showcase! ^^ just layered so only the glass shows.

[@VeronwDS]

That door is absolutely stunning! It looks like it's 3 walls with a fools partition and then a reverse lantern?.. This is a really beautiful place! Do you happen to have an off-hand estimate on how much all the different furniture pieces cost?

[@AkhRhai]

Thank you very much!! It's so simple and you're very much correct! I usually do the windows backwards as well to make sure I don't get godrays shining through the walls :)

[@VeronwDS]

@@AkhRhai Thanks!! Fabulous work as always ^_^

[@VeronwDS]

Sorry to comment again, but how did you get the stone entryway? I don't recognize that as a furniture piece, is it from the house itself?

[@AkhRhai]

It is indeed. It's just a thing shirogane houses have!

[@HalvePinda]

Helloo, another question xD how did u guys make the little table by the floorcouch? :)

[@AkhRhai]

It's floated up from the basement :)

[@HalvePinda]

@@AkhRhai yes but what table is it? 🙈

I made an effort to create something based on this using an FC room! I'm on Aether, Faerie and its located at Plot 16, 17th Ward Shirogane room 8 if you have an opportunity to check it out! Your channel has been a huge inspiration!!!
