Happy New Year! This unfurnished schematic of the Transamerica Pyramid is a gift for those who wish to customize and complete it. You are welcome to re-post your finished version, provided you credit me for the original design.

This build replicates the Transamerica Pyramid, San Francisco’s second tallest building, constructed primarily from Minecraft Quartz, White Concert, and white wool. It features 28 floors that progressively shrink, mimicking the actual building’s design. Six elevators are included: three for floors 1-18 and the underground parking, and three more for floors 18-28.

The structure sits atop a pyramid base, emphasizing its iconic shape. Achieving the correct proportions required significant calculation and refinement, with extensive use of MCEdit for the exterior. I hope you enjoy this build and good luck with your finishing touches!
