Hi Everyone,

Hope you're all having a Super Saturday!

cbarber89​  & Frostysirenfox​ Your recent builds look great!

Just stopping by with some pictures of the latest build I'm doing for the Orphan Teen in my game. His name is Kiano Ibarra and has become good friends with Yahir during my visit with the Engles.  Since Kiano has the Academic aspiration, I decided to build him a home in Britechester where he can live and go to university at the same time after graduating from high school. 

I'm using one of my early 'Alphabet' houses  called 'Ivory  'i' yes' which was basically just a small rectangle house with a narrow octagon cooking area off the kitchen.  The original build was done long before 'Seasons' came out so weather back then wasn't a factor.   

Below are pictures of the original build and then the modifications I made to it for Kiano by enlarging the rectangle part of the 'I' and the 'octagon' dot for the outdoor dining part and added a second story with  a narrow octagon balcony of Kiano's future bedroom.

 This is copied from the gallery save of this lot for the 'before' exterior photo.

Here are two interior views of the original design.  Back then I kept the decor very minimalistic to make it a good starter home for a single sim.

Now for the pictures of the remake of 'Ivory 'i'yes'.  

Due to the shape of this lot, I turned the lowercase I shaped house sideways and made it a bit larger.  Kept the narrow octagon side deck for the 'dot' over the 'i' and added a balcony above it.  Since Kiana has a dislike for style 'Basics' decor I'm trying to do the build without using that design category.  The only exception to that may be a washer and dryer so that he can have clean clothes.  The exterior uses Kiano's new found decor favorites of Contemporary & Farmhouse styles.  As you can see, I tried something different to use for 'shutters' so his home looks like it's being invaded by llamas & a few goats.  Used 2 of Kiano's favorite colors for both the exterior and living area, black & gray.

This is the back view.  One of the funny things about Kiano's preferences is that although he dislikes basics decor, Kiano is fine with Basic fashion as long as he's wearing it himself and gets 'turned off' when other sims wear that style.

Here are two views of Kiano's living/kitchen area which is also decorated in black & gray.  Kiano does not like the color 'green' so I only put a couple of plants by the TV that did have greenery in them.

This room also uses decor from the Farmhouse & Contemporary categories along with Industrial and a touch of  Art Deco.  Hope to decorate his upstairs bedroom and seating area later.  There's space for a spare bedroom & hobby area downstairs in the future and if and when he has a family, a third floor can easily be added in the future..

This is the side deck off the kitchen.  The frieze does jet into the house a bit but is covered by the upper kitchen cabinets.

That's all for now and have a wonderful day!
