ESTABLISHED RESULTS FOR CHALLENGE #2☆ Trashdocka ☆ This place is gorgeous, the architecture is really very interesting. Your choice of exterior wall treatments and your roof line also add a great deal of interest. The bar area is very elegant. Your layout works incredibly well and your palette is gorgeous throughout, it makes for a very cohesive build. You have a great eye for object choice and placement. I am impressed with the amount of skill building items you managed to include for the budget. You have certainly followed the brief on this challenge, although I don’t really see anywhere for Douglas to showcase his artefacts etc... My favourite area is actually that lovely walk in closet, it just feels very masculine and for me encapsulates Douglas.
☆ benlow11 ☆ I am enthralled by that roofline you have chosen, it fits really well with the simple architecture of the rest of the build and adds just that little interest. Your window placement is really well thought out, especially that line of diagonal windows, again, adding that little bit of glamour and interest. Your layout works well, I think the decision to have the suites on either side of the build was the right one and having the office off of the master suite was also a very good idea. Your palette works well throughout, although, I’m not 100% sure on those very red kitchen cabinets, they feel very overwhelming in such a small area. Also, I’m also not sold on the use of the very old world style furniture in the living area, it feels very at odds with the modern feel of the build. Your balconies work well, some really great custom flooring out there and you made great use of the space. My favourite area is that lovely guest suite, it’s very well laid out, a lovely palette and you have chosen some really great pieces that really help to make the room feel very welcoming.
Sim: Douglas certainly looks to be enjoying his new ‘digs’. And he already has a lady friend to help him settle in. Great choice of traits.
☆ celdys0n ☆ Oh my! What an elegant, charming home you have created for Douglas. That entry way is incredible, although I wonder if a paving stone would have looked more in keeping with the rest of the build, rather than that dirt pathway. Also the fountain area looks very angular in comparison to the curved entry. Your choice of exterior wall treatments works well and in general your roofline looks great, I am just not convinced about that one piece of angular roofing jutting out over the very entrance, it looks somehow out of place. I am in awe of what you managed to include for the budget, and your choice of objects, as well as your placement both work really well throughout the build. The palette is gorgeous, I can really see Douglas kicking back and relaxing here after a particularly gruelling expedition. My favourite area of your build is that master bedroom, with the fenced off alcoves through to the bathroom, such a cool idea!
Sim: Douglas looks fab! I love that cowboy hat! Great choice of other traits, I can see him digging around in Al Simahra and also attending glossy premieres as well.
☆ Green_Girly100 ☆ What a build!!! I adore the architecture and the exterior treatments you have chosen, you have followed that industrial theme really well throughout the entire build, which makes the build feel incredibly cohesive. Your layout works well, but I wonder about some of your choices when it comes to object placement, you have a lot of empty spaces in the dining and living areas, I understand that you wanted to keep a ‘corridor’ but, I wonder had you centered things more, if it would have felt more homely. Those splashes of colour throughout the home, work really well to soften that industrial theme. I am not sure about those rounded rugs in the kitchen though, they feel slightly out of place. My favourite place in this build is that master bathroom, so sleek and modern, yet it feels comfortable as well, those three mirrors really help create the illusion of space.
☆ EEtheridge ☆ Wow, that art deco exterior is fantastic! Great use of textures out there and I am impressed with your window placement as well. The roofline looks fabulous, so well put together. Your interiors feel incredibly luxurious and that natural palette works incredibly well in that open plan living/kitchen/dining area. Great idea to have that large breakfast bar in the centre of the room, I can see it being the hub of many wonderful parties. You have made some really great object choices and you have a really good eye for object placement. The balcony looks fab, using those large windows as a ‘divider’ is such a great idea, it is actually my favourite part of your build.
Sim: It was great to see a little of one of Curtis’ famed parties and also to see his unique style, however, it would have been good to know what you chose for his other traits...
☆ Davlan ☆ Oh my word, another absolutely stunningly gorgeous build! Such interesting architecture, I think your idea to leave the roof of the lobby open to the elements is just awesome. Your layout blew me away, all those gorgeous little nooks and crannies, yet they don’t see to impact the playability of the build at all, an amazing achievement. Your interiors are incredible, so well thought out, the palette, the object choices and placement all blend so well together. My favourite area of this build is that really unusually laid out kitchen, I want to get my hands on it and just cook the day away.
☆ KelSimmie ☆ I would have liked to have seen more of the exterior of this build, i.e. the rooflines etc, as it is it feels very square. I do however like your exterior treatments, especially that fencing around the balcony area. I’m not 100% sure about the layout of this home, walking directly into that very traditional kitchen from the lobby just doesn’t feel quite right to me, neither does having to walk through the master bathroom to get to the bedroom, it all feels a little disjointed. That large game room is a great idea, especially having it lead out to that stunning balcony area. You have made some good object choices and you have a decent eye for object placement. My favourite area of your build is your balcony with that gorgeous fountain area!
Sim: Douglas looks fantastic! He certainly seems to be enjoying his new home. It would have been nice to get to know your version though, what his other traits were etc…
Room: You already know I adore you balcony! That fountain is just epic. I wonder though, had you used the ‘alt’ key to rotate some of the objects slightly, it may have felt a little more natural.
