**Villa Thalassa - A Greek Inspired Luxury Home by Petalbot

Happy Summer! I just shared a new lot to the exchange, but I’m a day late with my picture tour. It’s a Greek inspired build, with the exterior based on a real life structure (The Sky Villa in Anguilla). I was researching the elements of Greek architecture, when I came across it and I just had to build it! The landscaping, floorplan and interiors are completely of my own design and it was a rough go with interior design. White is hard to work with as a dominant color in The Sims (the shadows and blooming are difficult to control, but I tried my darndest hardest to do it (texture, invisible lights and intensity adjustment are my friends, LOL). I found the Greek style interiors to be a challenge as well. I tried my hardest to embody it (lots of white, simple, clean, crisp, homey, artful, minimalist without being as minimalist as Japanese minimalism).
Anyhow, the home features 3 beds and 3 baths, private balconies for the children’s and master bedroom, a rec room and more. The home is located in Isla Paradiso on the Flats at Fire Island (island with the one 50X50 lot). The home is playtested and contains NO CC or CAP. Now on with the tour.

Since the pool area is the first thing sims will encounter when they enter the property, we’ll start with some of the outdoor areas.
Stairs lead to the outdoor bar area and also lead to the dining room entrance.
Time to take a look inside.
Family room opens to the small back patio.
Family room opens to the rec room.
Guest Bedroom exits into a hallway which has an entry out into the pool area.
Now up the stairs.
Enclosed spiral staircase leads down to the pool area.
Now back inside and upstairs and down the hall that leads to the master bedroom.
Through the door and to the master bathroom.
Back into the master bedroom.
Enclosed spiral staircase leads down to the pool area.
And that concludes the tour.
Thank you for taking the tour and I hope you enjoyed it! Have a pleasant evening.

Each of the rooms and areas through the build both indoors and outside are so very nice! The build has a very calm, restful and peaceful look and feel!

@rosemow Thanks for taking time to stop by and your continued support of the TS3 creative corner. I always enjoy reading your comments and love how you notice all the details! Hugs!
@MeaganJo Thanks! You can vacation there if you please! *hands ticket to Isla Paradiso over*
@soocoolsim Thanks! I'm looking forward to your next build!
@TarynTempestwind Thank you so much! I'm really looking forward to you next build. Lake town is amazing!
@rikidog Thanks! I'm so glad the home looks inviting. I was definitely going for that. Symmetry is a good way can be a good way to balance things. Balancing asymmetrical structures can be difficult. Asymmetry can lead to more interesting structures. Just practice. Some of the world's masterpieces in architecture are symmetrical (the
Taj Mahal for example) though. Symmetry has a more formal feel about it, so it's really more about what your after. Asymmetrical isn't always better.
@Icy_Lava Thank you!
@xXAngelicEvilXx Thanks!
Thank you so much for the comment @moonandsixpens and Hail to the open world system!
