I'm not really proud of this one, as I don't feel it was my best work and know I skimped on décor and landscaping in an attempt to stay under budget. It feels like it needs more. But I really wanted to do the sim challenge, and they needed a house, so here it is...

Welcome to the Hygge House!
Hygge is the danish word for the concept of comfortable coziness achieved by indulging through basic pleasures. This rough stone cottage has the natural feel that achieves an atmosphere of hygge beautifully. The location of this cozy french cottage is a big selling point to the Chens; beautiful natural farmland and rolling hills, but just a stones-throw away from the little village where they can work and enjoy the community.
The building is old, but made to fit the Chens standards. It has everything they need for a simple, slow-paced country life, but not a drop more. It has abundant charm and rustic country vibes, a beautiful natural garden and lovely outdoor living space. The house itself is small but sufficient. We hope the Chens will adapt well to this new lifestyle, it's quite a change from modern city life.

LINK TO ENTRY SLIDESHOW: https://imgur.com/a/mUvxHUS
ENTRY DETAILS: I went with a bit of a modern take on a farmhouse for the Chens. It has the classic lines and built-over-time look of a farmhouse with a metal roof to add clean lines and black painted mullions to add a graphic look to the architecture. The building also includes a home office with its own entrance from the front porch so Dr. & Mr. Chen can see patients and clients in their new home. The interior reflects a more modern take with a little eclecticism and sleekness to keep it from looking too "country kitsch" and with little to no clutter, keeping with a simpler lifestyle and modern living. A large patio with stone walls allows for outdoor living when the weather permits with a seating area, a dining area, and a grill. The second room upstairs, which can serve as a nursery when the Chens are ready, is currently set up as a guest bedroom/office. The kitchen has open shelving as homage to the kitchens of yesteryear but the simple shelves reflect modern sensibilities and the lack of upper cabinets keeps the kitchen feeling open. The greenhouses are divided into flowers and ingredients. The orchard is fenced in on the right side of the house. All plants are perfect quality. The shed includes a flower arranging table and a woodworking table.

There are porches at both the front and rear of the home for relaxing. The back porch has a chess table and easel. The enclosed garden has perfect quality fruits and veggies, for healthy eating and tasteful cooking. Meandering paths wind through lovely gardens and to a fishing pond. There is a yoga mat and meditation stool out back for the Chens to use, to keep fit both in body and soul.

ENTRY DETAILS: I went with a bit of a modern take on a farmhouse for the Chens. It has the classic lines and built-over-time look of a farmhouse with a metal roof to add clean lines and black painted mullions to add a graphic look to the architecture. The building also includes a home office with its own entrance from the front porch so Dr. & Mr. Chen can see patients and clients in their new home. The interior reflects a more modern take with a little eclecticism and sleekness to keep it from looking too "country kitsch" and with little to no clutter, keeping with a simpler lifestyle and modern living. A large patio with stone walls allows for outdoor living when the weather permits with a seating area, a dining area, and a grill. The second room upstairs, which can serve as a nursery when the Chens are ready, is currently set up as a guest bedroom/office. The kitchen has open shelving as homage to the kitchens of yesteryear but the simple shelves reflect modern sensibilities and the lack of upper cabinets keeps the kitchen feeling open. The greenhouses are divided into flowers and ingredients. The orchard is fenced in on the right side of the house. All plants are perfect quality. The shed includes a flower arranging table and a woodworking table.
