Community Lot with 2-Step Foundation
rooftop infinity pool - restaurant - bar/lounge - disco

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

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.

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?)
