2 things today: The 1st of at least 2 Nepali-themed mainstreet taxpayers and the 3-tiered pagoda I built just to made simply as a starting point for the taxpayer.
NOTE: "Taxpayer" is US firefighter slang for 2 or 3-story mainstreet building with the ground floor all shops and the upper stories residential-type things. Every culture has them.

The taxpayer was copied from a real building in Katmandu's Durbar Square. It appears to have grown out of a number of separate buildings that became conjoined over time. It's also copied from only the west-facing side of a large, square building with a central courtyard. No 2 sides of this large building look anything alike so it probably wasn't planned, either, but just happened. As such things really aren't a good fit for PC, this blueprint is intended to run along 1 side of a mainstreet area, so has a definite front and back, the back being intended for a backstage area so is rather plainer and mostly just emergency exits. But it's lit and trimmed so will look OK if seen over the treetops from elsewhere in the park.
Anyway, nearly the entire street frontage of the taxpayer is shop doors which you can leave closed or open to something inside. Shops, restrooms, hotel, restaurant, any combination thereof, that's up to you. Whatever best suits your needs.
It has nearly 1700 parts as she stands, without any shops or their wares (which in real life spill out onto the sidewalk in brightly colored heaps). The high part count is because nearly all the walls and windows are custom. I went through and fixed all the z-fighting I could find but there's probably still some (and unavoidably so on the rear roof). If you find any really nasty z-fighting, let me know so I can fix it.
It looks like this:
And here's a Google street view of the real building:

Not much to say about the 3-tier pagoda:
