I had done a first version of the habitat in the early 90s with a now extinct bit of software that was called Visual Reality (or Renderize in earlier incarnations). The habitat had a central core from which radiated cylindrical arms. Each arm, capped at the far end by a transparent bubble, was a condo in the habitat. One of my earliest renderings is of a patio garden inside one of the condo bubbles. That was called "Garden Over Babylon."

In the past few years, since I've been working with 3D Studio MAX, I began anew the process of building my fantasy habitat. It began with a new version of the habitat exterior, used in the rendering titled "Habitat." It continues with the design of the one of the condos, seen in renderings like "Morning Routine," "Nesting," "Nappers," and "Teaching Trixx." And now we have the most recent edition to the set, a reworking of the "Garden Over Babylon" concept. I have preserved a number of elements found in the original version, from a row of plants around the bubble's edge to a robotic gardener outside watering.
