Modeled directly from an authentic 1916 kit home catalog, Modern Home Deluxe 1 is the first in a series of all-in-one interior/exterior sets from a classic period of American architecture.

Sold and built from 1908 until 1940, these kit homes exemplify the American Arts and Crafts movement in architecture, featuring simple but elegant custom milled baseboards, crowns and casings.  Many, such as the house that inspired Modern Home Deluxe 1, featured such details as plate rails and built in cabinets.

In addition to a built in china cabinet between the dining room and kitchen, this tidy 2 bedroom home also features a reading nook in the living room, perfect for lining with book shelves and a bench seat.  The bathroom features a claw foot tub and pedestal sink with genuine Craftsman style vanity mirror and lighting fixtures.

All interior and exterior lighting and plumbing fixtures are included, in addition to window blinds with two morph positions (open and up), kitchen appliances, and a neat exterior bulkhead entry to the cellar.  Included is the full interior-exterior one car garage with matching siding and trim.

Bricks and shingles are individually modeled for an amazing level of detail.

Each room features a focus target 5 feet off the floor for easy camera snapping, and each of the 76 individual walls, doors, windows, and fixtures is removable so you can always get the perfect camera angle. The lot comes preloaded with polygonal grass and without, and is designed to line up perfectly with the Modern Home Exterior series of houses sold at DAZ 3D.

Customization is also a breeze, with numerous material zones designed to allow color changes with as little hassle as possible. All exterior textures are created with grayscale maps tinted by the diffuse color, so changing the color of the siding or trim is as easy as picking a new color. Inside, the walls, floors, and ceilings of each room is individually unwrapped and easily modified in your favorite image editor. The trim in each room is also on its own material zone, so you can have differently painted trim in each room.

Because of the sturdiness and longevity of the original Arts and Crafts kit homes, many are still standing today.  Modern Home Deluxe is therefore appropriate for scenes set in virtually any era of recent American history from the turn of the 20^th century until the present time.

Complete, customizable, and designed for maximum ease of use, Modern Home Deluxe 1 is the perfect addition to your realistic neighborhood scenes.
