This is maybe the third lot I've ever made, but the first I've ever done with the idea of uploading it for others to see. I made this lot with two things in mind:

1) I wanted to make a place I'd like to live

2) I wanted to experiment with some "fancy" techniques like split-level and custom slanted roofs. I think it turned out well for a first attempt. Many thanks to Jonesi, because it was her tutorials that I learned from.

This is a 1BR dwelling with a nice patio/pool area in the back. The entire upstairs level is the open master suite, with a balcony overlooking the front of the lot. The downstairs includes a kitchen/dining area with a wetbar transition into the living/entertainment room. There is also a hobby room on the first floor. I was going for an interesting (hopefully) approach to the split level idea on the first floor, with the entry/hallway areas being up on a foundation and overlooking the living areas, which are recessed down short stairwells. Probably not very practical in most peoples' minds, but I think it gives the house character.

Lot size is 4x4, though in retrospect it should have been 3x3
Lot price is just under $40,000

The lot is completely unfurnished, although the pictures show a few standard appliances so you could sort of see how I had things laid out.

I have Numenor's "Unlevel Walls Mod" installed, you will need it for walls under the slanted roof to show correctly:

I also used XxHalfBloodPrincexX's "Another Spiral Staircase" which is both stylish and functional:

Everything else is standard.


As I said, this is a first for me, so let me know what you think of it.
