Share your airport entrance area!

This has got to be the most beautiful entrance I've seen yet. It makes me immensely curious about what the rest of your island looks like. I wish I could make places like this on my island
That is so kind of you, Mairen, thank you! I honestly do credit this thread for all the inspiration (and a metric ton of hybrids for the rest). And there's nothing wrong with imitating someone else's work to get started. Eventually you'll find a creative groove and then what started out as imitation will transform into something that is yours alone.
 
I don't have pictures atm, but I have the opposite problem. For me, my plaza isn't perfectly aligned with my airport and it's a fair distance away, not super close or anything, so I have a huge space at the bottom of it that drives me insane. I managed to put in a cute little market with a stage and instruments, some tables and benches.. it looks nice but I'm still hating on it because the space is just too large.
 
That’s gorgeous, lovely work :D

Thank you!

I'd love to see a picture of what you're working with. I also have a lot of distance between my plaza and the beach. Right now, my Nook's is there, and to the left of it is a meh kind of bike rack area. I'm thinking of setting up a gym and protein powder "bar" for my boy Hamlet - anything is more interesting than what's going on there now.

Here's my entrance! I literally just chucked a cliff in front of my resi services because i had no idea what to do, i'm thinking of changing it sometime in the future when the rest of my town is finished but honestly im not too upset with it, especially in the snow.
 
Well I did have my hybrid garden straight ahead as you arrived, which I later turned into a more aesthetic walled garden once I had most of the hybrids and threw in fountains and stuff (was still unfinished), but I hated it as an entrance so I have spent the last week moving things around so now the garden is to the left of my Plaza, and the entrance, to the right, is a little passage between cliffs. Now the whole right side of my island is one level up, and totally empty but it will be fun to work out what to do with it!!

Seeing everyone's beautiful entrances makes me cry at my poor, ugly, bland entrance T_T I need to stop caring about getting the villagers I want and start seriously terraforming lol

Terraforming can be so much fun and satisfying! I didn’t do any major terraforming. More like significant tweaks. I just worked (and continue to work) just small sections at a time.
 
Posting my entrance! Love seeing inspiration pictures from others! Also, I used to have cliffs covering my RS area but I hated how it covered my villagers when singing or made a weird camera angle when I talked to someone at RS! I love cliffs and waterfalls so I decided to do some near the airport (but as someone who values functionality, made sure there were openings at the center and sides)

I also find that stone paths help a LOT if your RS is slightly off centered!

I’m so glad to see this thread bumped back to life. It has been a huge source of inspiration for me!
Same! Everyone has such good taste and so many good ideas so whenever I get a ping for it I’m like “ooohhh! New treasures!”

It fits so well! The whole theme of your name and island works perfectly! I love it!

That construction sign's there for a reason lemme just say

Plans are to replace the white roses with blue roses once I get them (and red lilies on the other side - the lilies look like the flower on my flag and roses are my native flower), replace the wooden signs with the signs with customizable patterns, replace the fountain with the fishing tourney anchor and a couple other ornaments, maybe like an art statue idk. No cliffs cause this is supposed to be like a harbor town and this is the downtown/city part
 
I love seeing everyone's entrances! I'm having trouble decorating mine because of my airport/resident services positions (just two squares off from being nicely lined up - hate it).
 
Woah, so many amazing entrances. Mine is just "Yup, this is how you enter my island". So basic, if compared to others. But...basic doesn't always equals "bad", right? Right?

Definitely doesn’t mean bad! I like it! I think I’m actually putting too much thought in mine so it will never be finished xD I like yours!

Oh! I love it! I love that the entrance fits your island theme so well!

Oh no ;3; I think that’s even worse than having it be in a general bad position. You’re always a step away from it being right there... but I hope this thread helps you find a way to make it look wonderful!
