This lot was tested in Belladonna Cove, but because it is one of the business lots in my new desert hood, some of the pictures were taken in the desert locale. It will be included with that hood, when it is released... someday soon!
Meanwhile - here is a preview version of this lot for your own hood.

Simple Rectangle - Modern Box: Plan #520-4

Cross-posted to MTS and Simblr.

Simple Rectangle
Modern Box: Plan #520-4, by Irish architect Frank McGahon
This floor plan comes from HousePlans.com
3 bedrooms - 2.5 bathrooms - space for 2 cars
balconies - rooftop viewing deck - built on an extreme slope
You will need my Max Slope Mod
fully furnished
- No CC -

The website says...
"Plan 520-4, by Irish architect Frank McGahon, is a simple rectangle with solid end walls and all glass side walls. The great appeal of the window wall is to unite inside and outside while framing both. The trick is to beware of exposure; even insulated glass can transmit heat and cold. The roof can be adapted as a deck. This 1705 square feet contemporary style 1 bedroom, 1 bath design recalls Philip Johnson's famous Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut of 1949."

I have modified it for TS2 to have 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms.

Desert Nomad House ~ RL Tucson, AZ. No CC.

Desert Nomad House
from Tucson, AZ - real life architect Studio Rick Joy
This floor plan comes from Amazing Architecture
1 bedrooms - 1+ bathrooms - space for 2 cars
BBQ patio - office - garden
2-Step Foundation
fully furnished
- No CC -

The website says...
"The volumes that contain each separate zone have a single aperture from which each sun-lighting event can be enjoyed. Each of the volumes is slightly elevated and independent from the others, requiring a desert walk on footpaths to move between them. These paths connect visitors to the land and reinforce the house’s purposeful isolation. Our desire to care for the site’s fragile nature prompted the elevation of the volumes, allowing water and animals to move freely beneath them. This way, the landscape of eons ago remains as undisturbed as possible despite this strong visual intervention."😉

This series of houses is built from plans by Richard B. Pollman (1914-1980,) and are a part of his Designs for Convenient Living - specifically from Portfolio #43.

So I think it is safe to say this was probably in 1961-62-ish?)

Quote:

Richard Pollman was born in Kansas in 1914. He graduated from the University of Michigan in 1936, with a Bachelor of Science in Architecture. From the late 1950s to the 1970s, Mr. Pollman, with his partner, Irving Palmquist, did much to popularize the mid-century modern house design. They are credited with over 2500 mid-century modern house plans which were published in a series of popular home plan books by Home Planners, Inc. of Detroit, for which Mr. Pollman served as the president. - from the web
