Description

This will be the Insulae, in its alpha form. It's also pretty empty on the inside, with a bed to demonstrate... well, the bed.

On the exterior, the insulae is designed so that it can be repeated next to others to form a street of housing/shops.
The closed portal (Wooden board) on the left of the door is the shop, and is open/close-able. When players (who own the shop) place things on display, they will show up there. Players do this by interacting with it from the inside, visible on the lower floor (Bottom Right).

Most Insulae will come with just a bed, for this is pretty much all they were used for in Roman Times - sleeping in. There was no waterworks, so they couldn't bathe or use the toilet, and the houses were too likely to catch fire (Claybrick + Wood construction), so there were no kitchens.

Insulae will be the cheapest form of living in the City, and will be affordably by most - ergo why there will be so many of them!

Houses will be furnishable, so if the player wanted to, they could change the wallpaper, flooring and furniture in the house.

Most of the "shop floor" (Lower floor) of the Insulae will come with ample shelving for storage of goods.
