Cube House ~ Modern 4B/4.5B with Rooftop Patio - Build CC Only

Originally uploaded to MTS on June 29th, 2020.

I was browsing the web one day, looking for modern house designs... ya know, like you do. 😉 When this one caught my eye:

Ultra-modern Kitsilano cube house listed for $8.9M
(click the link to read the article and see some interior pictures.)

This incredibly contemporary, uber-cool cube house in Kitsilano has been listed for $8,998,000 - making it the top-priced new Vancouver listing of last week... After a bit more research I found out the house was built in 2017, designed by Tony Robbins, an award-winning architect, and originally listed at $14-million. I also found a few 'concept' designs and partial floor plans. SOLD! 

I was hooked.
I gotta sim this one!

Here is some of the "research" I used to 'sim' this house: 

I do think my version has an extra floor? I read that it had 4 stories; so the sim-version has a basement on level #1, level #2 is the 1st/ground floor, level #3 is the 2nd floor, and level #4 is the 3rd floor, and then there is the rooftop patio. I think maybe, the realtor counts the rooftop as the 4th story? If so, then my 3rd floor doesn't exist in real life.

Also, I think the RL ceilings are higher. So that the 3 RL internal stories (not the rooftop) take up as much height-space as 4 sim-sized stories. Does that even make sense? LOL! I'm 'eyeball' measuring from the RL window placement.

So, you may get an extra floor in this simmed house ...and a few added windows too. Because unlike real sunlight - in TS2, sunlight can NOT be reflected about through the skylight and down the internal stairwell to light up the inside of the cube. It sounds like an awesome engineering feat though! I bet in RL, the natural light inside this galvanized cube house is amazing. *sigh*

 

Yes, the window placement in the Master Suite is accurate. There are more reference pictures HERE in this article. As the bathroom is a fully enclosed room, your sims should not have any shooing/privacy issues. My test-sim is single; so I cannot speak for a couple's reaction.

 

 

 

Be sure you put this house somewhere with a nice view! If I lived here, I would spend all my time up on the roof - beautiful!

This house is fully furnished and lightly decorated. All appliances, plumbing and lighting are included. Every floor has a telephone, centrally located by the stairs. The two 1st-floor/entrance doors have burglar alarms. The stove and grill both have smoke alarms. There is no fireplace included - the three turquoise/floral tiles on the 1st floor indicate where the fireplace should go. I couldn't find an exact match for the RL fireplace; but, I really like the one I found (shown in the Dining Room photo, above.) It is hkaw's 2 tile version of the Torch fireplace at Sims2Artists.

This is a clean copy of this house/lot; no sim has ever lived here. The package has been cleaned with Mootilda's Clean Installer.

There is parking for six vehicles: two in the garage, and four on the driveway.

You may also want to get:
- The Lifestyle Build Bundle wallpapers/floors. (It's the second link in the top post - extracted from Lifestyle Stories by Argon @ MATY) This 'bundle' lives back in my Bins folder so it doesn't have the CC star. If you ever enter one of my builds and find it has blank/unpapered walls/floors, it is because they are from this bundle and I didn't realize it. So, either substitute the wall/floor of your choice, or go get this bundle and re-install the lot (from your lot bin.)
