I love Contemporary Moderns. I found an image I loved by an awesome architect on the internet. It reminded me of a Phoenix rising out of the ashes.
Unfortunately, there was only one image of the front of the building and nothing else to go on, but that let me be as creative as I would like in back. Thus, I added a wood-burning oven as well as a grill and outdoor fridge to the patio. And, of course, you get a pool and a hot tub, as well as a fun waterfall.
Indoors, an open floor plan invites you. The bar is close to the entrance for Sims returning from a hard day at work or for welcoming guests. The kitchen is modern and stream-lined.
There is lots of room for Sims who love to party. They can jam, dance, chat, or watch a game on a big screen t.v. Of course, you can exchange the drum set for whatever fits your Sims more.
Upstairs is where the orangy wood really contrasts with its complementary color. I love the deep blue here. Horses represent journey, freedom, and victory and thus adds to the Phoenix theme.
Two bedrooms share an attached bath. This bath also has the laundry facilities. Combining the two gives you a much nicer, larger room.
The home contains a loft with attached bath and balcony. While a perfect master bedroom, this would also make a great office, studio, recreation room, or place to practice magic. (I did use the Diesel bed as I thought it fit best, but you decide.)
I wasn't sure if you'd like a nursery or not. This room could also be changed into an office, home gym, or whatever you'd like. (You might also want to add a basement for anything I forget.)
Comments
Go up the spiral stairs. You'll find access to the front balcony, two bedrooms, and a nursery. That second bedroom is designed with a child or teen in mind, but would work for anyone if you got rid of the toys out on the balcony.
Finally, there is the loft. Arranged as a master bedroom, this can easily change. The balcony below had skill building items, so this one is all about relaxing.

Despite having to work for a living (Jacob has chosen a career in education), he would love to master the arts. He's not really artistic, but he is a bookworm. This Jacob is also a computer whiz, so he should be able to get some writing in now and then. He's also childish, for having had to grow up so soon, he still longs for that play time he had to give up.
I hope you will want to add him to your game. I enjoyed playing him as he has the ability to make friends so easily with the play tag option. That has the added benefit of raising his fun so quickly.
If you are interested, Jacob (or Jake, as his friends might refer to him) is here:

I also really like Jacob. I think the childish trait is a lot of fun to play and it sure never hurts to have one more handsome man running around town, lol

This is Flying Phoenix. It uses those same architectural pieces I used in the other build. Those are really quite fun to add as accents!
I like the stream-lined look.
So, if nothing else, maybe you want a small boat taking up space in a troublesome port:

As you can see by the pic, he's a hopeless romantic and a great kisser who wants to be a 5-star chef someday and get that great rewards fridge for his houseboat.

I hope you find some use for these gifts if you can get in game anytime soon.

You already know that I'm a fan of your builds, but even running the risk of repeating myself (because some things are worth the repeat!), I have to say... you do wonders with a smaller lot!
Phoenix Arising sits on a 25 x 25 and doesn't seem cramped at all. Efficient design and comfortable furnishings = happy sims
Jake is handsome and his traits suit him very well.
The Flying Phoenix will create waves on the waters and in conversations because of its sleek, stylish design.
Shaun... Shane... Deshaun... no matter what he is called, this handsome fellow will be heating up things in the kitchen and setting hearts on fire.
These gifts will definitely delight scorpio (and others!)
