Build-n-Share Challenge #137-138 • Vivaldi’s Four Seasons
“This seems to be our week for Italians,” Rose says as you enter the studio to begin the day’s work.
“Another Italian client?” you ask with surprise.
“I suppose it’s our Mediterranean climate!” Rose giggles.
You try to suppress your own giggle and ask, “What time is Signor…”
“Vivaldi,” Rose interjects.
“What time is Signore Vivaldi’s appointment?”
“He’s waiting for you now in your office.”
“Ack!” you say out loud while looking darts at Rose, who is studiously ignoring you.
As you enter your office, you see a man with shockingly red hair seated in your chair, humming a jovial tune that somehow seems familiar. He gets up immediately and moves toward you to shake your hand.
“Ah, how delightful it is to finally meet the great designer!”
“Um, thank you, signore…”
“Please! Call me Tony.”
“Yes, Tony. What can I do for you?”
You learn that Tony Vivaldi is the new music teacher at the local high school and has come to Sunset Valley from Venice, Italy with his two twin teenage daughters, Cara and Rufina. They are currently living in the Modern Apartments and want to move into a 2-bedroom house of their own. He has two main requirements:
“Both my daughters play the instruments,” he tells you, “so please include the room for music so we play together. Yes?”
“Of course, uh, Tony. What else?”
“I like the seasons. Yes?”
“Seasons?”
“Eum, inverno, winter? Spring? Yes?”
“Yes, of course! But what are your thoughts about the seasons?”
“The decoration? How you say…”
“You want the décor to reflect the seasons?”
“Yes, yes! But just one!”
“Just one season? But which one?”
“You pick!”
You protest, but he insists that you choose for him. So after discussion of budget and other details, you finish your meeting. As he is about to leave, you finally get the courage to ask him, “Tony, by any chance are you related to…”
“The typeface designer?” he laughs. “Ah no, but peoples ask me this all the time!” He leaves humming that strangely familiar tune.
Requirements
• Budget: §73,000
• Lot (Sunset Valley): any size the budget allows
• 2 bedrooms (one for Tony, one for Cara and Rufina), 2.5 bathrooms, music room (with at least 2 instruments) and all other rooms necessary for convenient living
• garage or carport
• landscaping and interior décor should reflect one of the four seasons (spring, summer, autumn or winter). In your description of the lot details, explain how you chose your color scheme to reflect the season.
As always - CC is welcome. Just be sure to credit the creator in your entry form.
Optional Challenge
• Create Tony, Cara and Rufina and take pictures of them living in their new house!
Good Luck & Have Fun!

Optional Challenge: Yes. Tony the father and twin daughters Cara & Rufina created.
Constructive criticism: The project came in under budget. Perhaps more high end features and furnishings could have been used. However, Tony and his daughters will be pleased to have the extra cash in their pockets and likely will recommend my services to their friends.

Constructive criticism: Yes, please. I am aware of the lack of landscaping, but it was difficult to find items that fit the snowy terrain. I did find some and installed them in my game, but then could not find them in game. I probably should have added some more interior decoration as well, but as I was building it, I kept running into the budget limit. I forgot export the finished house before I moved the family in, so I removed the family after taking screencaps and a little under §5,000 of the budget magically became available. Oh well.
