The Summer Getaway Community Contest[mod.io] is now closed and the entries have been evaluated!
This one took a lot of effort from our jury, as with such an open theme, the creativity came in many different forms, and the winning projects really showcase that!
In the end, we really loved delving into all the different approaches and unique ideas!

Regarding Community Contests on Mod.io in general, we're extremely glad with how it's going and we feel lucky to have a community that's always ready to bring their A-game within the Sandbox Mode!

The next Community Contest comes around the end of October...
you can probably guess the theme! (SPOOKCITING!! 🎃)

Remember that you can download all of these houses and check them out yourself!

1. Enbesa Retreat by hamt4ro[mod.io]
INNNNNSANE! This is the absolute top level of Sandbox Mode in House Flipper 2.
Let's address the elephant in the room - all the irregular, asymmetric, and oddly-angled elements, that manage to complement each other so well! Hamt4ro's masterful combination of those creates an incredibly unique design. It feels like discovering a new architectural style with something surprising waiting for you around almost every corner!

2. Coastal Cottage by jessfess27[mod.io]
The coziness went through the roof with this one! What we really (and I mean REALLY) loved here is the color/material management and all the surrounding additions implemented into the environment. Messing with the surroundings outside of the set land borders is easier said than done, but Jessfess27 proved that this doesn't limit real creativity! Hours of effort and a truly great eye for creating the perfect cozy vacation vibe. Immaculate!

3. Camp Chevaler by LisaMockingbird[mod.io]
Summer camp time! What instantly caught our attention are the wonderful custom elements and all the clutter that makes the whole place look soooo lived in! Amazing attention to detail and some ideas we've never seen before! LisaMockingbird captured the summer camp vibe incredibly well, and on top of that showcased astonishing creativity and innovation.

4. A Suitcase in the Sand by Super_Kupo[mod.io]
We were fascinated by this outstanding design! Upon closer inspection, we realized how many of the little items are actually custom pieces created by combining already existing items. The attention to detail even with places that are not initially visible (inside drawers etc.) is intriguing! A very cool idea combined with lots of Sandbox Mode experience and precise execution!

5. Summertime by Shortfatguy13[mod.io]
STAR WARS FANS UNITE! Yup... that's when we realized everybody may have a very different vision of a "Summer Getaway" project. And oh wow... this one is a special one! So Shortfatguy13 decided he'd love to spend his summer on a distant island on which he landed his MASSIVE MILLENNIUM FALCON.
Oh, did someone ask if the Falcon is just a shell? ...Sweetie this is an HF2 Community Contest, of course it has a fully designed interior! Oh, and don't forget the fully-kitted underground mansion!
This is crazy and we love it!

6. Tropical Dream by Natka_96[mod.io]
A remarkable modern villa! A place that many people could surely call their dream summer destination! One of the best modern-style designs we've seen, with a plethora of very detailed and carefully thought-through spots! We also love the inclusion of so many natural elements and how they're an integral part of this project! Bravo!
