![]() Similar idea to what we did to the door, but without fencing: Grab your brick slabs, and in half-meter steps, put a ledge above the window pane. It also makes the door more noticeable than the windows, which is important because it draws the eye to it. It adds depth to the wall, which is important since the door goes flush to it. ![]() Use Brick Slabs and Fencing to create a bit of an awning or ledge above your door. It also adds in some more variation where there are large unbroken regions of one color or arrangement. Stage 3 is decoration, and adds more…you guessed it: depth. What? You were having fun already? Strange. ![]() There should be an overhang of one the whole way along the A-Frame. Fill ’em in.įill in the remaining space until you’ve got no open spots. Start by laying rows of them facing outward on top of the full Brick Blocks. Make sure that if you walk underneath it, it’s one block of overhang the whole way around, so that even on the short side, there’s slabs separating the ground floor from the upper. Lay down slabs along the outside (bottom half) of the full brick blocks you just finished up with. MAKE SURE to have these rows overhang the windowed-edge by one block. Along the very top, lay a row of Brick Slabs, while on top of the LONG side walls, lay a row of full Bricks blocks. Now with the window and frame on, cap it with stone bricks, and step down by one whole block each meter out, so that just before the outer support beams, you’ve got a 2 meter jump. They’ll get there turn to be interesting, never fear. Do this on both SHORT sides, but not the long sides. Remember how we used Glass Panes and Cobblestone Stairs to create depth in our ground floor windows? Lay down one Stair, and Two glass panes up, inside a Log frame directly over the support beam from the ground floor. Let’s continue on to Stage 2, where you’ll need the following: Oak Log, Cobblestone Stairs, Glass Pane, Stone Brick, Brick Slab, Brick Stairs, and Bricks. You’ve got yourself the makings of a pleasant cottage. I’ll be pointing out where else we gain depth in this design. I cannot over-stress how important depth is to an aesthetically-pleasing design. The Glass Pane is just far back enough to match up with the top of the Cobblestone Stair, and the combination of these two blocks against your walls and beams creates DEPTH. Now in the holes you want windows in, lay down a Cobblestone Stair piece facing towards the outside, with a Glass Pane on top of it. Are you in PANE? EnDOOR it for now.īad puns aside, time to fill those holes. Make sure the one that’ll hold the door has the Flooring planks under it. In every section of 3 (between the beams) that you want either a door or a window, delete the middle column’s lower two blocks. Were those walls looking a little flat? Time to break it up. (here, I’ve chosen spruce) Windows and Door Prep Lay down some wood that’s a shade darker than your wall planks. Use your own discretion, and if it doesn’t feel right for your context, I’d suggest more planks as a good alternative. ![]() While Stone Bricks are heavy-looking, their warm color makes for a smooth transition to the roofing layer, which we’ll cover in a little bit. This was something I toyed around with for a while. It’s at eye-level, and window level, too, so a medium-strength material that compliments the beams goes well here: Planks. Planks come next, as this will be your “filler” layer. ![]() The beams are strong vertically, and Cobblestone looks solid when placed low. The bottom layer between the beams is Cobblestone. (Although the latter two will require advanced roofing techniques not covered juuuuuuust yet) Cobble and Planks About Modular DesignĪs you’ll see in a moment, the wall makeup is basically the same between any two pillars, making this layout customizable, even supporting L-corner homes, T-shaped homes, and the like. Any wider than 3 pillars on the short side, and your roof is going to be massively tall, so plan your long side accordingly. This keeps the roof from looking too massive or squat on its frame. The sides are almost twice as long as the building is wide. Each pillar of Oak Wood has 3 spaces in between them. ![]()
