1. For today’s tour, we’re going to have a look around the house of
Rose and Dmitri Shankel and their sons Alexander and Ivan at 350
Tang Road. This house is in the downtown ’hood, which is on the
Takemizu Village template.
The house was decorated to suit the family during the rebuild, and
at the time the pictures were taken, the family had not yet moved
in.
Fun fact: This house was built as closely as I could manage to the
floor plan of the house where I grew up.

2. The front of the house without all that “writing” stuff on it

3. Orientation shot of the first floor

4. The flower room, where Rose and Dmitri make flower arrangements

5. The living room, looking towards the flower room. The frames will eventually hold pictures
of the boys.

6. The living room, looking away from the flower room

7. The full bathroom downstairs. Yes, those are large windows in the bathroom.

8. The back hall/mudroom/entrance from the back yard

9. The kitchen, with a breakfast bar to the left

10. The dining room

11. The front hall/telephone nook

12. The back yard… never mind that there’s a playground right across the street

13. Orientation shot of the second floor

14. The landing at the top of the stairs. The windows are what create the “tower” effect.

15. Alexander’s room, with the chess table from when Daddy was a boy

16. The nursery, currently occupied by Ivan

17. Dmitri and Rose’s bedroom. The frames will eventually hold pictures of the boys.

unspecified future date for another tour.
Until next time, Happy Simming!
