Modern Villa, by Mattb325.
--------------------------------------- Made after a request in the 'Bat Request Thread', this is a purely fictional design for the first in a series of Modern Villas. Apart from the few Hollywood-hills style R$$$ homes that come with the base game (EG: White Mansion), and a smattering of custom content, it is an area that has largely been ignored. Typically the modern villa is something of a compound: numerous projections create enclosed, intimate spaces. High masonry walls and hedges protect pools and indoor/outdoor areas from prying eyes. 
The materials palette is usually understated - monochromatic white/dark grey plaster, zinc, wood, marble and stone.  Double height spaces abound and floor-to-ceiling glass is used expansively. Hedges of tall cypress trees cocoon the lots from neighbour boundries and planting in rows create uniformity of street-scape. These sorts of houses are something of an international style: they can be found in coastal/city/mountain locations across the globe. They grow on the modern Houston and Euro tilesets. Like all of my work, these are suited to both CAM and non CAM cities alike. A buiding-family ploppable, MMP version will be vailable shortly which will contain all of the series of villas.
