Big edit! Made a lot of changes! This is my Ocean Side Villa, I've worked really hard on it and would love suggestions! I really like the simplistic design.
Texture Pack: http://www.minecraft...th-update-1135/
New pool(: It's a little dark and simple but I really like it.
Do you guys like the tree island thing by the pool?
I actually expanded the landscape on this side, does it look alright?
Do you like the open doors? And the entrance walkway?
I really like this area. Just a chill spot where you can relax.
This is the entrance, do you like the walls?
The main room, very simple.
Nice and simple but still unique kitchen.
The bedroom, simple but the bed matches the TV(:
Just a jacuzzi.
The deck, still havn't done anything!): Really need some help with this.
This is very well designed and implemented. Yeah, some interior furnishings look out of place. Alas, I've not yet gotten into that aspect of building so can offer no advice there. BTW, you might as well go ahead and tell us what texture pack you use.

Honestly, looks fine as is. I like the spacious layout. Maybe try experimenting with partitions of glass, iron bars or fences, and maybe paintings in strategic places
Maybe you can add a (switchable) Glowstone-Lamp to the entrance and use some pictures to pep it up.
I would also advice you to make the corners of the pool a bit rounded or shape the whole thing irregularly. Like a kidney perhaps.
The rectangular shape doesn't match the villas style.
And you can add a litte artificial island into the pool and install either a plant like here:
or some water-splash-thingy like here
...or both of course
And even better: Make terrassed pool! You've got a slope there, so it would blend in nicely.
You can also try indoor water games. they look nice in a modern house.
Like for example a wall with water flowing down
very nice villa, the only things I can think of to add would be to define the exterior of the outside wall some more, have your columns come out a bit to break up the flat surface some or making some of the columns raw wood instead in order to mix it up a bit (I think some raw wood would work very well with the building materials you've chosen), try making your interior rafters wooden planks (I think dark pine planks would work best) instead of the same sandstone you're using for the walls, adding outdoor window sills or something might be nice as well. Maybe you could increase the sandstone brick base by one or two more blocks high or making the split at the point where the second floor starts. Just some suggestions but I think what you've done is great overall. I've also been using the Soartex texture pack a lot lately, it took awhile for me to get used to it but it works surprisingly well with this asian build I'm doing.
I suggest adding some rugs (red and yellow/orange patterned rugs would look good, I bet) to help break up the large areas of plain wooden floor, and putting some paintings or hanging planters wherever there's big expanses of open wall. You might also want to try replacing the torches with redstone lanterns set into the ceiling and floor, to help give the home a more classy, modern feel. Zhanradfee's water suggestions are also excellent ideas (especially the terraced pool!) Anyway, I love what you've with your home so far- it's so clean and airy! Keep up the good work, and happy decorating.

This is very top tier work, although it's a bit to high for its footprint. Meaning the house is a bit to high for its dimensions (just my preference and it's not that crucial, it's fine right now just it could be improved upon). Also, loving the Soartex, it works wonders with modern themed houses.

Thank you! I'm really loving the Texture pack, and I agree but ehh, its alright(:
Hey guys, just moved so I won't be able to work on it for a little, I'm going to move some things around the kitchen to make it better, then build a bridge.
Do you guys think I should make some more houses? There's a fairly big island next to this one and I'm thinking about making a little neighborhood?
Idk, if anyone wants to maybe help me I'd love it!(:
Thanks for all the support guys!
