Once standing proudly by the sea, The Forgotten Seaside Manor has slowly been reclaimed by time. Cracked walls, overgrown gardens and forgotten rooms tell the story of a once beautiful family estate where traces of the past can still be found around every corner.

Inside, faded elegance meets quiet decay. A grand gallery with its chandelier, an abandoned conservatory overtaken by plants and scattered belongings throughout the house create an atmosphere that feels both melancholic and full of possibility. Outside, wild gardens, an old fountain, stables and additional outbuildings continue the story, making the estate feel as though life simply drifted away rather than ending all at once.

The build includes two versions of the manor. One remains completely abandoned, while the other imagines someone starting over with very little — a sleeping bag, a few belongings and the hope of slowly bringing the house back to life.

Whether for storytelling, machinima or legacy gameplay, The Forgotten Seaside Manor offers a setting where forgotten memories, quiet beauty and new beginnings come together by the sea.

Inside, the home centers around a spacious living area and office space, while the bedrooms are distributed across both levels of the house.

Inside, the layout balances family life with softer, quieter spaces. A cozy sunroom living area brings warmth into the center of the home, while the hobby room, filled with an old computer setup and exercise equipment, adds to the feeling of everyday life unfolding naturally throughout the house.

Each space carries its own atmosphere — from smaller, more secluded retreats to larger family-oriented villas with private pools, outdoor showers, whirlpools or children’s rooms.

At the center of the resort, open shared spaces create a slower rhythm throughout the day. Two large pools, a covered terrace with massage loungers, a playground, firepit area and a fully open main house with reception, buffet, bar and lounge spaces are all connected through soft tropical landscaping and shaded walking paths.

A separate two-story wellness and fitness building adds yoga, meditation and gym spaces tucked naturally into the jungle surroundings.

Inside, the atmosphere shifts into something more private. A reception area leads into a lounge, a bar and changing rooms, while an indoor court allows the game to continue beyond the open air.

Defined by green and white tones, the club feels cohesive without being overly styled — a place shaped by light, routine and an effortless sense of exclusivity.

Art, objects and materials gather over time, creating a layered atmosphere that feels personal rather than styled — a space that carries traces of daily routines and quiet moments in between.

At both ends of the apartment, elevated levels create softer transitions into more private areas. One side is shaped by creativity, with an art studio and a teenage girl’s room, connected to a small balcony where light gently enters the space.

Ivory Lane is a family home shaped by contrast — where old money elegance meets the ease of a new generation. Created as a commission for Simshira, this residence balances classic luxury with warmth, movement, and life. It is refined without feeling distant, generous in scale yet unmistakably lived in.

From the outside, Ivory Lane feels timeless rather than pristine. Cypress trees, flowering greenery, and layered garden spaces soften the architecture and give the property a sense of permanence.

The living room, with its subtle work niche, invites everyday routines, while the kitchen area feels intentionally expansive — layered with a main kitchen, backup kitchen, and service spaces that support real family life rather than display alone.

Despite the height of the ceilings and the openness of the layout, Ivory Lane remains deeply cozy. Toys are left where they belong, rooms feel used, and the house carries a quiet sense of continuity.

Upstairs, the atmosphere softens further. Workspaces, guest accommodations, and family bedrooms connect organically, with the toddler’s room leading into a shared bathroom that also links to the parents’ dressing area. The master bedroom, like the main living spaces below, is bathed in afternoon and evening light, creating a warm rhythm that moves through the house as the day fades.

Ivory Lane is not designed to impress at first glance alone — it reveals itself slowly. It is a home for storytelling, for family routines, for luxury that feels earned and lived in rather than curated. A place where elegance adapts to life, not the other way around.

A warm, festive bundle of my Christmas builds — plus the Christmas Interior Trends Guide 2025.

In the past days, I took the time to go through all of my Christmas builds again and update the CC they use. Over the years, this collection has grown so much — cottages, cafés, markets, festive homes, bakerys, streets and little winter worlds that each carry their own cozy story.

Welcome to Nordlys Street, where Scandinavian tradition meets modern festive flair.

Two charming houses stand side by side, glowing in the soft northern light.
The first is a rustic knitwear shop, lined with tall, wooden shelves and the gentle scent of wool and pine — a place where time moves a little slower. Next door, the mood shifts to something brighter: a Café & Marshmallow Bar, complete with its own kitchen, playful décor, and the inviting hum of laughter and coffee cups. Above the shops lies a spacious apartment full of color and creativity. It features a generous open-plan living and dining area, a cozy home office corner, a wardrobe area, and even a small setup for a furry little friend — perfect for cat lovers.

From the outside, both houses are dressed in festive garlands and twinkling lights, blending old and new in the most charming way.
