  • Mansion 1: The Sims 2

    Mansion 1: The Sims 2

    My first mansion in the series. This one is a 3 bedroom Georgian manor house with a touch of modern. It can easily fit up to 6 sims comfortably, but the way I furnished it, it can accommodate 4. As it's one of the first mansions I've ever built for a long time, it's not very good. But if it gets good ratings and comments, I'll think about making a second one. Please give me advice to improve for the next one, and any particular "style" of architecture you'd like to see (eg georgian, victorian, modern) Thanks for watching! Please rate, comment and subscribe! //SXB

  • City of Bath, John Wood architecture

    City of Bath, John Wood architecture

    In the 18th century the Georgian style was introduced in Bath by architect John Wood sr. Queen Square was the first design in which classical elements were reused in the construction. John Woods second prestigious project was the construction of The Circus, originally named Kings Circus. This is John Woods masterwork in Bath. Building commenced in 1754. Unfortunately he died that same year and never saw the wonderful building completed. But fortunately he had a son, also named John Wood. He completed his fathers design four years later. The Circus was Englands first amphitheatre, and the Woods were undoubtedly inspired by the Colosseum in Rome. Just a house is not enough, the original Georgian Garden has the same dimensional stability as the houses, austere shapes and gravel in the middle, certainly no grass. Everything was built according to the masters design. After the Circus, John Wood jr built the Royal Crescent. It took seven years. John junior was probably influenced by the history of the Celtic druids who had a sickle-shaped temple of the moon in the area. He may have also been inspired by the existing landscape back then. Others insist he was paying homage to his father, in any case it was Englands first crescent with building elements from the ancient Greek and Roman style. Most servants did not get past the kitchen, serving your master was the rule. The kitchen had modern gadgets like an automatic grill.
