Hey everyone! New to this welcoming community!
It's late (1AM here, tired...) but I'll try to share my idea of this View House.
I made this tall structure in another server and lots of people liked it, some, of course, wanted to take control of it.. For some reason.. I made it for the public.. Uhm, anyhow, basically, this tower extends high into the sky and can be accessed right outside the main gates. It should be located where everyone can benefit from it. With it, you can see the world around you. At night time, you can see mobs and choose which way to head out so you know you don't get swarmed (has helped some people in the other server). The height doesn't need to be touching the clouds, but it should be real tall where distance shouldn't be completely obscured when looking down below on land. Structure isn't fancy, but rather simple- made of cobbel stone.
What's also neat, is that I implemented a "Donation Box" for travelers. As the name suggests, just donate supplies there for others can use. If you don't need it but feel generous, drop it in the box for someone who'd visit the tower.
The View House isn't really wide at all- mostly narrow and compact. Think of the "Washington Monument", that TALL pillar in Washington DC. It's something like that. I've been in that monument (seriously, I was suprised you could even go in at all) and at the very top, it's all huddled and small.. But it's strangely comftorable.
That's the feeling I want to replicate in the View House, and the last one I did was successful.
I built it alone in a span of 4 hours. Then, I worked on it an additional 3 hours to make it a bit taller and add some neat aesthetics. It would be nice to get a group of people to work on this project. As a matter of fact, I think I have a picture of it.
It's the attachment. It's not too good of a pic, I thought I had a close up at night that really looked good, but I did not take the pic
On top was a "little man" with torches on each arm/hand, as if signaling people over.
Almost like a safe house. Simple, yet effective.
What do you guys think?
Also, the tower was on top of my house, but I made adjustments where it can be accessed from behind through a back house.
What you see there is Turtle Forest. I named it.. Turtles are awesome so... :3

If you want to make a tower on your house make sure it's under y:95.
