That color scheme, which I agree is nice, also apparently means “firehouse” to the mundanes. At every show it’s been to, I hear someone in the crowd say something about the “firestation”. Despite the lack of bay doors, and the shops on the first floor, etc. Has anyone else had this problem? What can I do to clue people in to a building’s purpose? Maybe a sign with the hotel’s name on it?

I am wondering if people are noticing the huge red windows (made of classic 1x2x2 windows) and mistaking them for bay doors? Depending on their line of sight, maybe the street level shops are out of view? We have some big firehouses here in NYC, but man, yours would be huge! :o)

Very nice BTW. Lots of nice details. I love the use of the red tiles facing ‘studs out’ adds nice surface texture.

Does your layout have a firehouse? Maybe making the actual layout firehouse a little more obvious would help?

Excellent work.

Best, Jonathan
