Inspiration:
For this build I went quite ambitious. Why you ask? Roofs. That's why. They are the bane of my existence, and I just struggle with them. I really wanted a coastal/beach style house though, and I found the exact thing I wanted. The majority of this build was spent trying to get the roof right. Not sure if I got there, but I got far enough to be happy. The link to the home plan is here. I loved the roof and the patios, so I just had to try out this build. I did stray a bit from the floor plan. I got bored with all the bedrooms, so to fill the house I added a gym, a sauna, a large spa and an indoor jacuzzi.

This build taught me a lot. I was proud to finish it, and it is still quite a special lot to me. I imagine it as a home for a large wealthy family. It is big enough to use as a generation home to be honest. Also, if you do not like my floor plan you can easily add more bedrooms/baths by sacrificing the spa, sauna, and/or gym. NB! Some of the rooms in this house have been uploaded as separate rooms in my gallery. For the rooms this applies to there will be a link provided in the comments below.

There is a large outdoor area, complete with an outdoor kitchen nook and seating. The door visible next to the floating ring connects to the indoor jacuzzi. From there you can continue on into a shower/toilet room, and then into a changing room. This to make it easier for your Sim to get ready to enjoy the outdoor areas, or get dressed when coming back in.

The Master bedroom is built as its own suite. It has a his and hers walk in closet, and a his and hers bathroom, with a shared shower/bath area. The his and hers bathroom can be found in my gallery here.

On the second floor there is a TV room where the Sims can relax and enjoy watching their favorite show.

Because there were multiple bedrooms to decorate, I played around with different styles and colors. One has a dark wood and navy color scheme, and one has a soft pink color scheme with more of a shabby chic feeling.

I also made a room for a teenage girl. Because each bedroom has it's own en suite, I also made a teenage bathroom.The bedroom can be found in my gallery here, and the bathroom here.

This is the indoor spa where your Sim can get a relaxing massage, rest in the recliner or do calming exercises like yoga or meditate. This room is uploaded to my gallery here.
