The building from episode 10 of the build timelapse. Its frame is nearly the same as Sky Villa #08, but the palette — smooth stone, white concrete, deepslate tile columns and stripped spruce log bands — turns it into a cool, solid grey building. 23 layers, 2,171 blocks.
Put the two patterns side by side to see how much materials alone change a shape. The video's 2,980 blocks include landscaping, left out here.
The key idea — never one block for one material
The deck is the widest single surface of the build; fill it with one block and it reads as a flat grey slab. So the top of the deck (LAYER 2) has related blocks scattered through it — in #10, 40 polished andesite among the smooth stone.
Only that top layer is mixed. The layer below is never seen, and the walls are not mixed at all — speckle on the walls would drown the rhythm of the columns and the contrast of the glass. Mix broad, flat surfaces only.
Compare with #08's sandstone palette and the rule is the same: a light base block for floors, the darkest block for columns, logs for floor bands, glass for windows. Keep those four roles and any colour scheme still reads as the same building.
Layer by layer
LAYER 1–2 — deck and pool. A two-layer 21 × 23 deck. The 9 × 3 pool on the south side is rimmed with 27 andesite and filled with 27 water. Brown carpet marks the interior.
LAYER 3–5 — ground floor. Deepslate tile columns, a glass ribbon, spruce stairs and louvres.
LAYER 6, 10, 14 — floors, with the storeys between (7–9, 11–13, 15–17). Storeys jut out in turn and step back as in #08.
LAYER 18–19 — roof, LAYER 20–23 — stairwell and pergola. A sea lantern inside the stairwell outlines the roof at night.
Gathering materials
972 smooth stone and 184 slabs is 1,064 blocks with a stonecutter. Smooth stone is cobblestone smelted twice (cobblestone → stone → smooth stone), which burns a lot of fuel — have lava buckets or charcoal ready.
Cut the 160 deepslate tiles straight from cobbled deepslate on a stonecutter; you mine it below Y 0. Andesite and polished andesite are common in caves. 235 white concrete is 30 batches of powder.
