Cascadian castle — architectural reconstruction with light natural foundations

A new independent architectural model of the approved cascadian-04-clear-walkway concept.
No geometry from the previous castle reconstruction is reused. The current version includes a new joined basalt footing and sparse planted ledges.
Building dimensions are inferred from a single image; hidden elevations are interpretations.
Original concept pixels are not projected onto the model.
