      I think it looks quite nice, it has an interesting shape and you've done a good job using different roofs.

      You should post pictures of your interiors for us to see too :) A tip is that when taking screenies in build mode press on the terrain paint tool to get rid of the grid, makes the pictures much better :D

      i really like your 70's house!
      love the architecture
      if you don't mind some friendly critism i'd do a little bit more interior design, like more decorative items....lights etc
      i'm off to recommend! :)

      edit: sorry! i didn't take a proper look at the interiors!
      forget what i said above!
      i really like what you've done!

      Actually I do agree with you. I'm not very proud of how it looks on the inside cos I spent most of the time trying to align the levels and... mainly exterior haha.

      Thanks for your comment, I'll try to balance out my focus inside and out the next time! :D

      Oh also, I wanna try doing a little gardening too ;)

      You have some talent! :-) I like your work very much..the 70's house is very bold and modern looking...nice lay out too. Looks very playable. I would suggest that you think about some landscaping to really set off your work. Landscaping is the final touch that really shows off your house...kind of like the setting of a ring accents the gem in the middle. :D Your house is amazing...it deserves some nice landscaping to make it really shine.

      I wold also suggest thinking about the back of your house as much as the front....there is so much interest architecturally speaking for the front...but the back is looking a bit flat by comparison. Maybe some of those elements from the front would work on the back too? Its easy to forget about the back side sometimes...I do that too and have to remember to check things out from all directions.

      I think that you are doing some really creative things and I will be very interested to see more stuff from you....keep up the terrific work! :D

      Thank you so much ruthless_kk and zorba2357!

      It's pretty obvious that I kinda ran out of space at the back of the house so I guess that's why It's a little flat :p
