Komplex Holzmarktstraße re-issue
This is an updated version of my Komplex Holzmarktstraße asset from 2018. These buildings are based on real buildings near Alexanderplatz and the Fernsehturm in Berlin. They are the first examples of the common WHH-GT-18 Plattenbau type, or "bauform," from 1971. They have been restored and metal surfaces have been used to cover and protect the facades, a common practice called "recladding." These particular buildings are instantly recognizable from the observation deck of the TV Tower because of their bright primary colors.
A few years ago, CO updated sub-buildings to share the colormask colors (and night illumination colors) of their parent main buildings. This was a needed and welcomed change, but it broke the way my Komplex Holzmarktstraße buildings are intended to function. No longer did they get random colormask colors for their balconies, but instead the balconies would always match the main colormask. This has always bugged me, so now since I’m having a sort of CS1 Renaissance, I decided to finally fix it. The solution I came up with was to include four separate buildings in the pack:
1. KH yellow balcony
2. KH blue balcony
3. KH white balcony
4. KH colormasked balcony
Search "KH" (RICO) in FindIt!
The first three assets have fixed colors for their balconies (yellow, blue, and white) and retain their original colormask on the facade. The last building replicates how the building has been working in your game for the last few years — if you use it — where color of the balconies will match the color of the facade.
The buildings no longer have sub-buildings, and most of their textures are shared, so be sure to use LSM. The hand-made LODs have also been updated. Since this bauform WHH-GT-18 is so common, I may release a few more facade variations in the near future. Please consider joining and supporting me on Patreon if you enjoy my work!
