Greenhouse Living - A Unique Loft Home

Inspired by this picture:

I don't know what it was, but when I saw this picture I fell in love with the concept and decided I just had to make a Sim home of it.

What do you think?

This home is built in a large two-story greenhouse. The bottom floor features an open floorplan with a dining area, kitchen, and lounge, as well as a separate bathroom and living room/study area complete with large stone fireplace. The top floor has a small balcony and a glass-walled bedroom. The yard has a grill, fire pit, and hot tub, as well as enough space for a friendly game of soccer or fetch.
The layout is very versatile; you can convert the lounge area to extra seating/dining space when hosting a large party, display your Christmas tree for a festive feel, or move the living room out there and convert the current space into a second bedroom. The yard also has plenty of space for a small garden, pool, outdoor sports equipment, etc. I find it best suited for a well-read popularity-driven Sim who loves drinking nectar and listening to jazz while entertaining guests at a dinner soirée.
The house includes a TV, bookshelf, computer, and there is an alarm system/smoke detector in every applicable room (usually hidden for appearances). Has a driveway out front.

Giant Bonsai Tree and Potted Bamboo Glory from the Sims 2 Store - Unfortunately the store is no longer open, so if you don't have these items already you're out of luck. There are a few conversions of the TS3 version of the bamboo here, but I couldn't find a replacement for the bonsai that I liked. You can try other plants, statues, fountains, etc. and see what appeals to you.
Mountain Retreat Wooden Bathtub by Holy Simoly (*FYI - I don't think it's updated for pet interactions*) Some people are getting a server error at this link, though I've checked and it's correct. If you have trouble, just got to http://www.holysimoly.com. The bathtub is on the first page of Sims 2 objects, in the bathroom category. I have also noticed that sometimes I'll get a texture error with the tub after a Sim uses it (the metal part will start flashing blue). Since it's not my object, I can't fix it. If anyone has a suggestion on an alternate bathtub I would really appreciate it.

ONE FINAL WARNING: The "greenhouse" effect on the walls was not achieved by using greenhouse walls, but by instead filling the walls of the house with windows. This lot may run poorly on lower-end machines (part of the reason the yard is so scarce is to help with lag from the windows).

Lot Size: 3x3
Lot Price: 95,286
