SCREENSHOTS
Introducing, the Hexahedron Dwellings...
When architect Irvan King unveiled his design for the Hexahedron Dwellings, there was a certain lack of excitement that filled the crowd. Gathered at the "Tomorrow, Today" exposition, a large team of architects had plans to reveal their interpretations of what homes and buildings in the future would appear like. When it came time to show King's design, the cold and bleak brutalist style turned off several of the attendees.
Complete with sharp, jagged edges, exposed concrete and sparse amounts of colour, the Hexahedron Dwellings went full steam ahead into construction. Met with must distaste in the community, many saw the structure as an "eyesore", and something that would "surely bring down property values". It was unlike anything in the area, and once completed, stuck out like a sore thumb.
However, many failed to see the true meaning behind King's design, and one that was quite unique for any apartment building that was around at the time. He had visioned that each private unit would be small and compact in size, all of which offering only one bathroom and featured a studio design. However, large amounts of public living spaces were designed, all of which encouraged residents to spend more time out of their private units and within the areas offered.
On the ground floor, easy access allowed way for a spacious gymnasium to be constructed. Residents within the tenements would be granted full access, and at all hours of the day. Across from that, a common room that offered roomy living space, perfect for public gatherings or private events. King had also planned way for a generous amount of outdoors space, complete with a patio and swimming pool. Dubbed, the "Eco-Glen", it even featured space for a pond and various gardens.
As mentioned previously, each and every apartment unit within the Hexahedron Dwellings features no separate bedroom space, and instead offers a studio design. Murphy beds were favoured within the units, as they allowed for more living space when tucked away. The kitchens, although quite compact, were outfitted with the latest technology in appliances. Wall-mounted television units also made way for more floor space to be used.
Architect Irvan King had also toyed with "colour therapy" when designing each separate unit. He feared that the use of cold and exposed concrete would have adverse effects on the residents. Instead, warm and inviting plaster walls were slated over most of the interior, and even mood-lighting can be found in certain areas to soften the tone further.
All in all, despite the backlash from local residents upon the completion of the Hexahedron Dwellings, it has been featured countless times on the cover of architectural magazines, and even enjoys it's fair share of awards. Unique in every aspect, it's the perfect place for the young single Sim or up and coming couple to live within.

Renting a Furnished Apartment:
Traditionally, renting an apartment will only leave the fixtures in place (such as the kitchen and bathroom). All other furnishings will disappear.

Welcome to my quaint little selection of creations...
Hi all, thank you for your interest in my creations! I love to design and build homes and hope that the ones I create can find a happy little place of their own within your game. I take great inspiration from mid-century modern design but also love flairs of art deco, brutalism, and most other forms of modernism.

Enjoy my builds! (:
