Shu's Cliff Side Mansion
Shu's mansion is located at the very end of the 67th TAS Drive, overlooking a cliff into the sea. The mansion has three stories above the ground level but it also stretches underground, even having a passage reaching down to the beach below the cliff. The mansion's back yard is relatively small for a mansion due to it's ending in a cliff. On the other hand, the house is East-West, oriented so it is possible to watch most lovely sunsets from the comfort of the garden.
The Mansion itself is rather simple in design. In the outside it is completely white and has a few columns, carvings and a number of other decorations which heavily resemble the ancient Greek-Roman culture. From the front gate, there is a narrow path which leads to a small flight of stairs which in turn lead to the house itself. The stairs and path are both tiled with marble.
The garden in the back is quite unique around these parts because rather than having trees, grass, or bushes and several other plant life, it is a a Japanese stone garden.
So, if the mansion's exterior is Greek, the garden in the front of the mansion is the average, wealthy western, the one in the back is a japanese stone garden... How will the mansion look like in the inside?
Unlike the outside of Shu's residence which focus on the traditional aspects of a few civilizations, the inside of the mansion is most futuristic and technologically oriented.
The ground floor is tilled in a special kind of transparent glass which lets people see through it the vast aquarium that Shu had installed below the ground. This aquarium is as wide as the mansion itself, covering the entire floor below the ground level. This includes the large kitchen, the dining room, the hall, the bathrooms and the lounge. While there aren't too many divisions, all of them are big and modern, having state of the art technological apparatus.
Above the ground level, the first floor was designed in order to be a floor wide gymnasium. It has several fitness machines, weights and even a small track going around the story. Smack in the middle of it, there is a medium sized pool.
On the second floor, there are only bedrooms and a few though large bathrooms. All of the bathrooms can only be accessible through their respective bedrooms but every one of them has both jacuzzi, sauna in addition to the normal furnishing of those divisions.
There is an elevator running through all the floors and even down through the cliff's wall, giving access to the sandy beach below. It is also through this elevator that one might gain access to Shu's underground garage. The garage, despite empty is gargantuan in size, with the ceiling being 20 meters above the floor. There may be no cars nor vehicles of any sort in this colossus but there are many pieces of heavy, industrial looking equipment with functions that are best left to one's imagination.
