C3 Design
In Sims2, if you surround an area with 4 rooms, it will be dark, regardless of whether it has a roof or not. Imagine my delight when I discovered that in Sims4...the sun shines in!!!
I've been wanting to build a home with a true courtyard for a long time and this one fits the bill. In addition, being a pre-fab home, it falls in with my sustainable architecture series.
C3 Design, also known as the "Pinwheel House" is the result of a partnership between the Rockwell Group, a powerhouse in hospitality and theatrical architecture, and oddly enough, Viking Range, the appliance people. The home is made of 4 modular units arranged around a central open atrium, visually giving rise to its nickname.
The courtyard is not that big and will be in shadows and moonlight for a big part of the day but it's a lot of fun to watch the sun move through around mid-morning. Having a grill appropriately close at hand beats hiking out to the backyard and the sound of the fountain is incredibly soothing.
This home really needed a 30x30 lot of which there seems to be none and I was not satisfied with any of my landscaping, all of which seemed to detract from the lot. The house is very centrally focused so I finally just redefined the space with tile. This would be an awesome house to add a swimming pool to, come November.
This house looks great from every angle and I filled it with way more furnishings than I usually put in an upload but CC free at this point so why not? You can tell I could just not stop taking pictures... deleted more than what I kept. I'm so glad I decided to redevelop the waterfront as residential. The views in this neighborhood are outstanding. Just imagine sitting at your desk, working at the computer, watching the paddlewheelers ply the canal...
Lot Size: 40x30
Lot Price: $107,580

About Me
My lots are built to be played in cut-away view.
While building my lots, I aim for a clean, crisp appearance while maintaining visual interest and good sight lines.
No filters, no photo actions. What you see is what you get.
I can do Maxis-match but I usually prefer to recreate something in real life.
Which is weird because I generally avoid English and RL images in Sim clothing and decor.
I had a lot more verbiage describing my philosophy of Sim-architecture and ended up sounding absolutely insufferable so to paraphrase Coco Chanel:
before leaving the house, a lady should look at the accessories and remove one mirror.
No restrictions on TOU. If you claim my stuff as your own or try to monetize it, you have bigger problems than I do.
