Any idea how to fold this?

I've been trying to make an origami model of the tower on this bridge, I know I need a 4 sided dome box but I cannot figure this out! Especially as it needs to be a top and tail dome box!!

Probably a simple one for you guys eh?

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "a top and tail dome box".
Looking at the picture I can sort of imagine how I might fold something that looks fairly similar to that tower.
I wouldn't be including the chimney though.

basically there's a dome on the top and the bottom, though a pyramid shape would work too :) Doesn't matter if there's no chimney, it's abstract anyway! The plan is to have this in the middle and have a ring of fish above it and a ring of ducks below it (it's a local thing :) ), it's for a child's mobile.

Thanks for the reply and sorry about the confusion, I'm not used to talking about origami with other people!

do you want one piece or modular?

if you want one piece and are good at cp, hoyjo has some interesting castles.

if modular is okay, i suggest the oriville castle book from the shumakovs.

preferably looking for a one piece as it's for a mobile that I want to make several of so the simpler the better (better cost for customers)

Also not sure where to find Hoyjo castles... I'm really new to this and was only really planning on origami crane mobiles but have been asked to do a bespoke one for an upcoming Made In Bradford-on-Avon celebration! I'm fast to learn though but need a head start :)

Thanks for your help!
