The Pink House is the official residence and executive office of the President of Floria, located in Northcliff, the nation's capital. Serving as a prominent symbol of the Florian government, the Pink House is both a working government building and a key cultural landmark.
History
The Pink House was commissioned in 1647 AN following Floria's establishment and was originally constructed as the mayor of Northcliffs Mansion. Designed by prominent Florian architect Charles Whitaker, the structure’s distinctive pink façade derives from Redcliff Limestone, a locally sourced material that takes on a pinkish hue when treated with a traditional lime wash.
The mansion became the official presidential residence 1650 AN. Over time, the building evolved to accommodate the growing responsibilities of the presidency.
During the War of Lost Brothers (1653–1657), the Pink House suffered extensive damage during the Siege of Northcliff, resulting in the destruction of its East Wing. This section was reconstructed in 1658 AN with modern defensive features to enhance security.
