Hehe. Not quite. I suppose
concealed is the wrong word really. It just wouldn't be (shouldn't be!) obvious to anybody viewing the building.
I'm trying to build a small, back-street cinema in the art-deco style. I had built the entire structure except for the rear wall, and was happy with everything except the back of the building. It just looked too square. I figured if I could fit an apartment into the roof cavity above the auditorium (for my own use, instead of a skybox), this would allow me to add certain details (windows & a balcony at the top/rear), and lend some curvature to the rear that would make it look more attractive to anybody viewing the building from that side. (Like other residents in the sim.)
Hmm, I'm finding it difficult to convey my idea without giving the impression I'm trying to tack a completely alien build onto another build, but that's not the case at all. The windows (in theory) should just look like a light source for the auditorium, as opposed to the windows of an apartment.
I'm rebuilding anyway, and I'll just scrap the apartment idea if it doesn't work out.
