2-Story Home with Basement Apartment
Here's a new house I've come up with. A little more traditional than some of my other ones. I was thinking of a house that would be built on a hillside that slopes down, although I don't know how to show that (I'm betting you all will notice the floating porch step). It even has a basement apartment. I haven't added a roof yet though so it's almost done. Also, I'm thinking that maybe I don't have enough windows?
I didn't include a garage as what I was thinking is that it's a separate building behind the house, just a simple garage with 3 stalls, although the back of it maybe (because of the slant of the hill it's on I could add a small storage area? I don't know.
The following pictures are what I have so far, of the basement apartment.
I'm working on more rendered pictures and should be posting them soon.

Re: 2-Story Home with Basement Apartment
Hi Aeowyn Good to see you back, hope your well.couple of things, your master bedroom has a bath in it and i dread to think what you study in the bedroom on the ground floor . If you can share outside images we can try to help with the slope, most of mine are on slopes or multi levels, try looking back over them.

Re: 2-Story Home with Basement Apartment
Oh! Thank you for pointing that out about the master bedroom/bathroom! Long story... When I had first started developing the layout I was going to put those rooms the way you see it and had it marked accordingly, then changed my mind and switched the rooms, but by the time I got to the decorating of those rooms I completely forgot that I'd made the change and didn't pay attention to their listed titles. In summary, "Oops; I'm going to fix that and decorate it right."
As for the "Study", I decorated it as if it were my Sewing room; there's the desk with the sewing machine, storage for the sewing patterns and other little sewing related stuff, bookcases for sewing books and inspirational magazines, and a high table for cutting out the fabric.
I will be working some today on getting more pictures of the house and will try and get them posted as soon as I can.

Re: 2-Story Home with Basement Apartment
technical question : the walls seem very thick, what is their thickness
Are you sure that their can support three levels

Re: 2-Story Home with Basement Apartment
I fixed the issue with the master bedroom/master bathroom.
I haven't done much else with the house as I've had a migraine most of the day. I hope I can work on it later.

Re: 2-Story Home with Basement Apartment
I just used the default thickness of the walls; should I have made them 6 inches thick instead?
For one level yes. For three take 8 or in MKSA international system 0,20 m (or 20 cm)... read here
Oh my god please, let fall this archaic system, go in 21th century !!!

Re: 2-Story Home with Basement Apartment
I've been out most of the day so I've only done a quick work on the outside walls' thicknesses. I also did a little rearranging on a couple of the bedrooms.
Also, I'm thinking that maybe I don't have enough windows?
