Normally, when it comes to condos, I normally use one of the ones that’s already been made such as the Default and the Villa condos (_although I’ve build basic rooms under maps_). However, I decided to try something different, so I decided to build a house from scratch (_not my actual house_) using canvas cubes. The map I used for this particular build is Smooth Autumn. ![20230205074605_1](https://forums.pixeltailgames.com/uploads/default/original/3X/0/0/002396333877e4901cb64c5080919219506a2fa8.jpeg) ![20230205065121_1](https://forums.pixeltailgames.com/uploads/default/original/3X/a/5/a5d70940d55936e9b36b193c6bbf5a25eea8416e.jpeg) ![20230206165319_1](https://forums.pixeltailgames.com/uploads/default/original/3X/5/6/5601ad8ada1967eae3c28d56ec022a14d3916597.jpeg) ![20230206165410_1](https://forums.pixeltailgames.com/uploads/default/original/3X/5/b/5b46b16bceb1c526ccbad0ffd48cc4dda8df9b14.jpeg) The interior ![20230205064618_1](https://forums.pixeltailgames.com/uploads/default/original/3X/6/3/6395c10db1ca185842476b9e462413812e6c16a4.jpeg) ![20230205064634_1](https://forums.pixeltailgames.com/uploads/default/original/3X/5/6/566a08a087a97d4500fe6922be34061a9edcc558.jpeg) ![20230205064549_1](https://forums.pixeltailgames.com/uploads/default/original/3X/b/7/b781b04a489f247c768fb78c06494d17ecbc39a8.jpeg) ![20230205064539_1](https://forums.pixeltailgames.com/uploads/default/original/3X/e/a/eadbd11c57445397927cfe5681ecf43322f0a873.jpeg) Detail was also done with the chimney pots ![20230204195143_1](https://forums.pixeltailgames.com/uploads/default/original/3X/4/3/43463ab9f0a25fc2eedeb4405c06e8bd99b8a8ef.jpeg) After completing the houses, I decided to build a blacksmith’s shop. ![20230207022850_1](https://forums.pixeltailgames.com/uploads/default/original/3X/1/8/18da7af66a025ce5a42dd92c757dba0b5bb52d1c.jpeg) ![20230207034344_1](https://forums.pixeltailgames.com/uploads/default/original/3X/1/9/19b2bc38cf35e6810c816af488bb58c6c9592bba.jpeg) ![20230207034316_1](https://forums.pixeltailgames.com/uploads/default/original/3X/4/1/41e4bcc9fad680aaebd2ace336551361d6133b3c.jpeg) ![20230207034330_1](https://forums.pixeltailgames.com/uploads/default/original/3X/d/2/d2f9ae8e0df0746caedeb7f895968a664280a446.jpeg) ![20230207041745_1](https://forums.pixeltailgames.com/uploads/default/original/3X/f/e/feac04b9835b97ca49e0f01a616b0d34eef4cd13.jpeg) I also included the bucket of water. ![20230207045938_1](https://forums.pixeltailgames.com/uploads/default/original/3X/2/f/2f78518a7ae4866b9a5c1e0f9d3460f3f1d958e2.jpeg) ---
