Modern Villa

How to build the Modern Villa

1. 1

   Ground and terrace

   Lay a 17 by 19 smooth stone base. Dig a 4 by 6 pool into the terrace at the front left and fill it with water.

2. 2

   Ground floor

   Build a 17 by 11 white concrete box 4 blocks tall at the back. Replace the front wall with glass, add long glass strips on both sides and a dark oak door at the back.

3. 3

   Upper floor slab

   Cover the ground floor with white concrete edged in grey concrete, then extend the slab 4 blocks over the terrace on the east side. Support the corners of the overhang with grey concrete pillars.

4. 4

   Upper floor walls

   Build an 11 by 15 white concrete room on the east half of the slab with glass on the front and both sides. Cap it with a grey concrete roof.

5. 5

   Stairs and lights

   Run dark oak stairs up the inside of the east wall to the upper floor. Set glowstone into the ceilings and the terrace corners.

Builder tips

• Concrete powder hardens into concrete when it touches water.
• Dig the pool one block deeper if you want to swim.
• Glowstone gives the same light as a lantern without breaking the flat ceiling.
