    In Los Angeles there was this famous architect named Cliff May. He designed the best houses in my opinion. He combined indoor and outdoor living so well with his signature Breezeways. One story. High ceilings. Exposed beams. Sky lights. It was mid century modern California style ranch houses. I LOVE his style and I can never find houses like his on the sims gallery. I really wish someone could make one. This is me shooting my shot to all builders. PLEASE MAKE A CLIFF MAY HOUSE! 😭

    Maybe the more central Florida you get the more beige and one story you get, because I was confused by the "all the houses here are beige and one story" at the start. I live on the coast and a lot of the houses are pastel, colorful, and while we do have beige or grey houses I'd say it's fairly balanced. I didn't realize Orlando area was so beige and I am sad for you 😅I love the colorful houses and most of them are over one story.

    when I was 11 I went to florida and I stayed in a house that looked so much like this, and I have to say, I am honestly a big fan of the mesh cage around the back garden-mainly because i’m scared of bugs, but partly because it’s just so useful
    I enjoyed my time there, mainly because it was the first time I ever saw a raccoon (I live in the uk) but also it was just so bizarre in a very enjoyable way; everything was so big, from the roads to the shops to the signs, and I know there’s some sense of rose tinted glasses since it was a while ago and I had no clue about anything to do with politics at the time, but I would happily go again
    anyway I say all of this because I feel like florida, as a state, is often criticised for its weirdness and I personally think that’s one of its many positives (and also to thank you for reminding me of that trip because I had a lot of fun, since it was the first time I was fully exposed to american culture before I knew anything about it)

I even remember when the house next door was remodeled to be all fancy white and gray. Great job, Kayla!!

      @@ryasnipes6068 I don't live in FLA, but one set of neighbors in my old cul de sac used the garage for social time like this, instead of vehicles. The young couple who previously lived there must have outgrown the house and moved out. This family was not stereotypically mom, dad, kids, but some other combo, hard to tell. There were teenagers, a grandma, and I'm not sure who else. Only the adults were in the garage, tho. The kids were out with their friends and riding dirt bikes. It was quite loud but thank goodness they closed the garage doors at about 10:30, so it was muffled. 🤣🤣
      They moved out, and a security officer who became a policeman moved in. It was like a tomb then. A detective called me to ask if he was a good neighbor when he applied at the Force. I said they were very quiet and kept the yard mowed. Dunno what I would've said if it was the other family. 😅

    When my parents moved down almost 20 years for my dad's job, we didn't know there was a hole in the screen around the pool. So I just remember being on spring break and finding ALL. THESE. TOADS. in the pool/lanai area. We'd gotten a field guide for FL wildlife before moving down and I spent a while identifying all the critters I rescued from the pool until we found and fixed the screen. Thankfully it was a small hole and no snakes came in. The house was maaany shades of pink when they moved in and Mom looked into repainting, but the president of the HOA wanted only earth tones or white even though the manifest said "tropical colors." So, they waited and bided their time until she had to take a leave of absence, then they and every homeowner who didn't want beige or baby poop colors submitted their colors. She was so mad when she returned! However, my mom got her aqua house with peacock blue door.

    i lived in florida for 2 years about a decade ago, and oh my god when i say this video brought back crazy memories, i’m not kidding. we didn’t have a screened in pool, but we had a screened in room that the cats basically lived in. i remember vividly the house i lived in had a tile entrance and kinda an open floor plan for the entrance, and the living room was off the entrance, it was carpeted, and there was like a hallway of tile through the house, but it wasn’t walled in, so it was just like a weird path of tile. we’d have little geckos get into the house and one of my cats would try to catch it. our kitchen had fruit wallpaper/tiling, and we covered up the weird fruit tiles with sticker things (it was a rental house). our kitchen wasn’t angled, but we had a pass through from the kitchen into the living room and i remember making grilled cheese at the stove and watching cutthroat kitchen through the pass through. our neighbor’s house was 2 stories and it was basically the only one in the neighborhood like that. now i live in virginia (and go to school in ohio) and i can definitely say that most of the us has consistent house styles, but florida is living in its own design land.
    the house kayla built looks kinda like the one i lived in (go figure, its a florida house) but the window to the left of the front door was arched and the front door/entrance was next to the garage. the arched window was my room and it had a cool vaulted ceiling. honestly i loved that room, it was really cool. i guess florida wasn’t ALL bad (but only in terms of my house lmao) but i only lived there 2014/2015, so yeah its really yikes now politically. not that we’ve got it much better in virginia (ew glenn youngkin). geez sorry for the ramble, this just brought back a lot of memories.

    i'm from Texas, and the homes down here vary greatly no matter where you live. because it's so big there are definatley differences depending on if you live in the hill country or by the coast, but even there the homes can be complete opposites even in close proximity. i live in a very old style, colonial inspired home, but my neighbours live in a very tiled, midterranian inspired home. there are both modern ranch styles homes, and very old, classic styles texan homes. i could go on and on but there certainly are similarities all over texas, even if you and your neighbour have completely different style homes because of all the cultural influences down here. like tile, i even have some in my entry way, attics, fridges in the garage, a focus on back yards over front yards, large porches, and if you do have a fireplace, it is most likely tiled or brick over cobble stone.

      Was going to comment something similar! The diversity of houses in Texas is astounding! I suppose it's because Texas itself is such a melting pot of cultures within a nation that's a melting pot & there's lots of different eras represented just within one street. I've lived in quite lower middleclass homes my whole life, so it isn't just an eccentricity thing that comes w money

    I was raised in Florida, its been 8 years since i lived there. This build is so spot on i can smell the humidity and chlorine. 10/10, i feel so incredibly nostalgic rn.
    Also, to second the really tall ceiling, the ceiling in our old house was 20 feet tall. (A bit of an outlier, but it wasn't unprecedented) Our neighborhood wasn't fully developed and still had a bunch of forest, so we had deer, a bobcat, and a Florida Black Panther all living in the general neighborhood. Ironically, a flock of wild turkeys would pass directly through our backyard every year around Thanksgiving.
    In a different house, we had the pool + pool screen, but we never really got to go play in it due to the hoa doing extremely illegal things + a gator got into the pool from the golf course behind the house at one point, so the pool screen was all ripped so it wasn't really safe anymore and the filter was broken so it was SUPER nasty. We probably would've gotten it fixed, but the aforementioned hoa was doing super illegal bank fraud that caused us to be evicted illegally and without cause, so its a moot point

    The funky shaped kitchen reminded me of when I was looking at homes the St. Petersburg area on the coast for fun, and one of the kitchens had to have been a hexagon or something. It had three entrances, depending on if you were walking in from the living room, the adjacent dining room (obviously open concept so this was all one room), and I guess a hallway by one of the doors to the porch, an island in the middle, and a diagonal counter wall. I swear some of the larger ranch style homes in Florida are bizarre the way they're laid out.
    I swear every aspect of this home is something I've seen in either my house or a relative's house. The ceiling fan you pulled up is the same ceiling fan I have in the room I'm typing this in
