Your serene corner of Skyrim

Post » Wed Feb 19, 2014 4:44 pm

I'm looking to make a unique housing mod for Skyrim that will consist entirely of an outdoor garden area. I got this idea from the great mod Gleaming Falls Reborn, but I wanted to make the furnishings much more modest, and go for a "serene Japanese garden" type aesthetic. I need help scouting out an area for the garden.

So post little hidden nooks in Skyrim you have come across. Areas you feel were particularly scenic, serene, remote, and just beautiful. Areas that you feel have an awesome ambiance/vibe, and would work well for a private little garden for your Dovahkiin to relax in after a long days battle. If you can, include screenshots of the area, and its exact location on the map.

Just look anywhere with an Akaviri influence, their culture resembles Japanese the most

Edit: check out Skyhaven temple

There's a unique ambient soundtrack called Heimskr near the Companion's hall and the tree of Whiterun. Just hang around the shrine to Talos and you'll hear it. Kick back your feet, relax, and enjoy it.

I'm not looking to go with a pure Japanese aesthetic. I'll come up with an aesthetic befitting the area I decide upon that borrows reasonable assets from all around Skyrim. A Japanese garden was just the closest anolog to describe the type of design I'm going for; that is, an outdoor scenic garden area with a peaceful ambiance, and modest furnishings, wooden platforms, and other necessities to use it as a base of operations.
