Challenge #154 - A Ghostly Design
You sit staring out the window of your office, “Could that possibly just have happened?” you ask yourself. As you look down at your notebook, you find that the notes you took during your last meeting haven’t disappeared into thin air, so you suppose it must have.
“A small home, like this can’t be that difficult to build surely?” You think as you ponder your client, the most unusual client you have come across in your time as an architect and designer. “So, he’s a ghost?! That doesn't change the outline of the brief does it!?” Shaking your head you get up from your desk and stretch your legs, you hear Rose typing away in the reception area and pop your head around the door. “Any chance of a coffee?” You ask her, thinking surely some caffeine will help you get your head around the situation. As you turn back to your desk, you hear a small noise from the seating area.
There sat your client, again appearing as if from nowhere! You make a small girlish gasp, and immediately feel incredibly plum. “Mr Green!” You exclaim.
“Ah yes, hello again, I rather feel we finished our little meeting a little quickly, I forgot to let you know that budget won’t be an issue for this build. Go ahead and spend as much, or as little as you like.”
Rose comes through the door and looks startled to see your client, she drops the coffee and apologises profusely, rushes back to the reception area to get some cleaning supplies.
“I’ll let you get back to your brief, thank you again for agreeing to take this project on.”
“It’s not a problem Mr Green, the build should be ready for you in two weeks, is that an appropriate time scale?”
“Perfect, just in time for my party, to which, you are of course invited and bring that beguiling assistant of yours.”
Rose enters apologising profusely, much to your amusement to the client, who has already vanished once more. As she looks towards the seating area, her mouth opens in a perfect ‘O’.
“Hence my need for caffeine.” You say and you both dissolve into laughter.
The Brief:
❖ A 20x30 lot
❖ 2 Bedrooms, both with en-suites
❖ A further full bathroom
❖ A Victorian style floor plan (so no open plan homes)
❖ Victorian style landscaping
❖ An old world feel to the interiors
❖ Kitchen, Dining Room and Drawing Room/Music Room must be included
❖ Keep in mind that your client is a ghost with all your design choices
❖ You have an unlimited budget
Optional Challenge
Create Mr William Green, a ghost who died when a meteor landed on him, show him enjoying his party in his new home. His Aspiration while he was alive (back in the 1800’s) was to become a chess legend, and he was always very frugal.

OPTIONAL CHALLENGE: (Included at end of media above) In 1822 on a trip into town, a meteor struck Mr. Green's carriage, killing him, his wife Elizabeth, his daughter Madeline, and their dog Oscar Wilde. The horses and driver survived. The driver took the family's remains to the science lab, but 1820's capabilities being what they were, the lab was only successful in bringing Mr. Green's ghost back to the land of the living. Now, he is brooding and dislikes the outdoors. He spends most days playing solitary games of chess, wandering through his family's effects in the attic, and mourning their loss in the family crypt. The neighbors take pity on him and occasionally stop by for a game of chess or to bring him food, since modern appliances still confound him.
