The sheer grandeur of this temple is incredible! It's really something that I would love to find in a jungle and explore! The exterior looks great, with a lot of detail but I really loved the interior. Here you can see these wonderful hallways and rooms and the cool traps. It'd be amazing to explore this in single player, first person, and navigate your way to the centre of this structure. Beside all that, it even uses almost the same palette as the original!
Small criticism though, the very entrance of the build was nice, but the flat grass around it wasn't. A few plants such as ferns, flowers or leaves would have made that area just a bit better. But that's only a very small part, good job!!

The Desert temple is gorgeous. With the statues on top and the giant building, it's really a wonderful sight. The interior with the maze and hieroglyphs was really well done as well. However, this is hard mode so you needed to submit the two temples this time. The jungle temple seemed a little too blah since it's basically four of the same towers sticking up in the air. The lake in the middle is nice and all but those towers just seemed a bit too ordinary and needed some other element to them. However, still two great builds which were challenging using the same blocks as the original! Good job!

I really liked the jungle temple which seemed really abandoned and made good use of the overgrown vines. The Desert temple was a build that really could have failed honestly. But you made it work. It was really neat that type of temple inside a beast like that. Also, in both, like the traps you used, especially in the desert temple. The interiors seemed a bit too cramped in some places (like bigger hallways might have been better) and also a bit repetitive in the jungle temple however still two great builds!

Introduction
Before we start this challenge, good news for all you redstoners! /u/Habeeb_M has started a Bi-Weekly redstone challenge over at the /r/mcchallenges subreddit. This mean that everyone who thinks building is not really their thing and are better at redstone will have a challenge that might better suit them. That doesn't mean you can't particpate at both though!!
And just so you all know, I am not really involved at all with this challenge so if you have any questions, I'll try and answer them but I probably won't be able to. However, I'm sure that /u/Habeeb_M will be hanging around his challenge and maybe this one to answer any questions you might have! Here is the link to the first challenge too! Go and show your love and support!
Anyway, on to the building challenge…
You're rich. You have all the money you could ever want. A dream car, an expensive dog, 4 kids, a husband/wife…. but where's your house?
This challenge you can get to build it but not just any house, this is a twenty-first century house. One of those cube houses with weird roofs that look completely slick and without any imperfections. This is going to be your modern house.

Challenge
Easy Mode: Construct a modern house. No real guidelines here, build what you think is a modern house that could be found in the world today. A interior is not required, you just need to make a modern looking exterior.
Hard Mode: Same as easy mode. This time we're making the interior and you'll need to have these following rooms:
Indoor pool
Theatre room
An 'art' room (hang some paintings or something, I'll be more lenient on this room but it must contain some sort of 'art')
As you can see, for this challenge I'm not imposing too much of a guideline on what to build. I'm more looking at your take of a modern house. Also please note that this is a modern house and NOT A FUTURISTIC HOUSE. Whatever you build, I should be able to find a house in real life that could or does look similar.
