DOWNLOAD - Casa Caipira - Facade

Hi!
While I was developing Casa Caipira, the barbecue area, I thought that would be awesome to see more historical Brazilian architecture representation at the game. My 14yo Simmer tried it at the time but didn't have the skills that my today yo Simmer has.

So, here is the facade set.

Planning and Inspiration

I started focusing on the rural historical houses but as the set planning evolved I added more and more elements that mostly will be found in urban houses, like the Muxarabi.

I talked about this woodwork at the cross set and now I was able to reproduce the original pattern. This element was used in the doors and windows of the colonial buildings to allow privacy.

There was a time when a big number of houses has it on the facade but the Portuguese King came to Brazil and ordered to remove all of it. Some still can be found mainly on the two biggest final inspirations for the facade set, Paraty and Ouro Preto.

The other thing from the urban area is the arched doors and windows. In rural areas, most of the windows and doors of the remaining house have a flat top while in urban houses it is arched.

I couldn't create both styles in one month so this is part one of the Casa Caipira build set.  The second part will not be released next month. I need to take a break of build items.

The Items

• There are 31 items in this set;
• All Items are BG Compatible;
• All items are color tagged;
• Polycounts compatible with the game standards;
• Stone, Plaster, and Wood textures were made by me (and I'm really proud of them);
• There are a bunch of swatches with unique color combinations. Windows and Doors has 56+swatches;
• Windows and Doors will work better on Medium and Tall walls;
• The friezes are decor items that need to be placed one by one, but I made a 1x1 and a 3x1 module to help cover bigger areas; They were configured to work as roof finish;

PS: I'll be working on more promo images by this week. I'm too tired now to continue doing it. Despite being very happy with the end result, this set was crazy to finish.
