La` Haus! Modern/Contemporary with gorgeous Vista views...

Hiya MTS, long time no see.. .

Okay, so yes, it's been a while since I myself uploaded something, and even longer since I uploaded a house (I think september's a good guess), so I decided to go back to what made me a creator in the first place - building houses.

Although Honestly, I can't say this was my planned next future upload, but I didn't have the inspiration to finish the other two houses in the my bachelour series, so I started work on this one. (and one other one, but I've been working on that one for months, time will tell what that one is. )

ooops. Sorry for the rant, onto business (before I say anything else) .

Please Note that this house will require the most recent update, (and possibly World Adventures (though I'm not sure)), sorry about this.

This was one of those houses that just 'came to me'. It was just, 'OMG, that design is brilliant' *rushes to his computer to put his ideas to work before he forgets* things.
The name is La` Haus.



This was the first thought of design, for a change I knew the name before anything else.
(orginially this house was meant to have french infulences, hence the name, but I ahh *ahem* forgot.

Basically the goal of this house was to combine natural with modern. I wanted a home that, sort of had the landscaping inside, as well as out. But also one that created an open feel, taking in the surroundings (like the beautiful ocean views).






I also wanted the house to be as stunning at night as it is during the day.





The interior design was somewhat... open. It doesn't really have specified rooms, per say. (well it does, but it's just one big open space devided by plants, water features, and furniture (also stairs). The actual placing of the rooms was also done last, which is why the kitchen suffered somewhat more than what it probably would have normally. But it's still nice all the same.

NOTE: I only just realised this morning that I forgot to include a sink, dishwasher or trashcompactor in the kitchen, Sorry! It's hard to just put one in though.

Other Notes: The stairs leading down from the landing into the split level area DO NOT WORK, I repeat they are NOT functional, so please don't get up me. :P. I wanted the staircase in that design, I just couldn't get sims to use it properly, so this was the best option. Sims will just use the other way up the stairs (they won't complain they can't get their destination).
