MOC: Beach House car-port

[04smallmj]

hey everyone, this is my first time posting (deeplinking) pictures, so this is also a test for me. Please tell me if I did anything wrong regarding my post.

Anyway, I wanted to share with you a car port I added onto my Beach house (4996). This is what it looked like in my town originally:

The building to the left is the pizzeria. To build the car port, I had to destroy and rebuild the lower floor of the house (the top can come off). Here's the end result:

And a modded small car:

I'm really pleased with the end result and it fits in well with the beach house. I did think about having a sloped roof on the car port but I wasn't really sure about that. Please let me know what you think!

oh, and I'll move the Pizzeria further over to the left soon...

Very nice! The red might be a little overbearing, but other than that, its better than the original, I think!

Nice MOD '04smallmj' - very strong looking carport - the black tiled roof perfect addition so too the light above the driveway.

Though I do find the patterned driveway a bit loud in red and yellow !

Great work anyway and keep on brick '04smallmj' I'm a conformist! !

I like it, but given the height and location of it, why not raise it 2 more plates and expand that tiny balcony on the 2nd floor to cover the carport? You'd even have enough room to put the BBQ up there so they could snack while perving gazing at the people out on the bay.

Color car is match with the house

Red floor don't match for natural ,but the garage is so cool!

Thanks for the comments everyone. Following Belchher's advice, I have extended the balcony onto the car port:

Through the binoculars:

Wow! This is much cleaner than your old version! It is integrated seamlessly into the house

Swanky! Were you able to do this using just the bricks included with the Beach House, or did you require additional bricks from elsewhere?

I actually got 2 beach houses, so I used the parts from the set I never built, I did have to get a few black 1XN tiles from my collection for the balcony railings and an inverted slope. I also ran out of yellow 1X1 plates and used 1X1 round plates instead. I couldn't have done this with parts just from the beach house set because I used 3 6X12 plates and the set comes with 2. The big plate could probably be substituted for smaller plates though, and the other parts are easy to find.

Well done. I really like the carport! Very nice property.

If you move a white wall beside the house , It will clear and can see the beach.

I like the balcony :)

That extended balcony looks great now, worked a treat! And I like the mini fig with the binoculars

Nice. Balcony over the car port looks great. I don't think I've seen red/yellow driveway before.

Perfect! You managed to incorporate the car port very well with the beach house. Your second version is much much better. Great job 04smallmj!
