The deadline for this challenge is 31st March 2020
It is time for the designer showcase showdown! Please download the lot at:
https://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=9361959
In the showdown, you have a foundation and 3 items. Please place the lot at 100 Redwood Pkwy in Sunset Valley (it is all the way to the right along the coast with the water at the bottom of the screen), in any direction that will fit. Choose ONE of the three items to include in your build WITH THE COLORS GIVEN. Sell back the other items. You may not add anything to increase the size of the foundation given, except if adding stairs makes you add a space. You can build only on the foundation given. You can put walls of any kind and fences any where you wish on the foundation. Your design should reflect the item you chose and its given colors. You can not change the colors.
Rules:
*NO changes to the foundation size or shape, except if adding stairs automatically adds a space.
*Pick only one object for your inspiration. Include your selected item in the build.
*No basements.
*You can build in the yard as long as it is not attached to the house. Any required rooms cannot be off of the foundation.
*You can use any fences, walls, windows, and doors that you wish. You can designate any space on the foundation as a porch or room (so indoor or outdoor space).
*The lot must be fully landscaped.
THE BRIEF
*the budget is $105,384, which includes the lot as is.
*the house should have:
*at least 3 separate bedrooms/sleeping spaces
*at least 2 and a 1/2 bathrooms.
*a kitchen and place to eat.
*a study, living room, and media area--in any combination or all separate.
*laundry, either on or off the foundation.
*any other rooms or areas you wish to include.
*the build can be as many floors as you want up but no basements.

LEVEL: intermediate
LOT SIZE, ADDRESS & FINAL COST: 100 Redwood Pkwy in Sunset Valley $103,897
LOT DESCRIPTION & DETAILS: I chose the lamp and did something I don’t normally do, I went with dark wood. I used the colors in the lamp shade as my accent colors, yellow, red and a bit of gray. I used the lamp in the living room, library/office, in the master bedroom and the upstairs landing.
I also went with a modern style build with an open kitchen/dining/living area. The office is off the living room and there is a half bath tucked under the stairs.
Upstairs is the master bedroom with a private bath and a private balcony, two kids rooms, a second full bath and the laundry. There is also a “kids zone” with a toy box doubling as an ottoman and a gaming system. The laundry room is at the end of the hallway.
On the lower deck accessed through the kitchen is a deck with bbq and stairs to the backyard. A third deck is accessed through the living room to a small area for kids to play.

LOT SIZE, ADDRESS & FINAL COST: 25x30, 100 Redwood Parkway, final cost: 104,060
LOT DESCRIPTION & DETAILS:
My Spring build is a Victorian style home, full of colors and flowers! I chose the orchid as my 'item', and the shape of the foundation helped along my inspiration for a towered Victorian with wrap porch and surrounding gardens.
For required spaces: there is a formal parlor, eat-in kitchen, 1/2 bath, and master bed/bath on the main floor. The master bedroom contains the orchid.
The second floor has two bedrooms, a bath, laundry, and the open landing became the study/library with a window nook for reading and balcony overlooking the views.
The third floor and top of the tower holds the media room.
Almost every room in the house has flowers or plants, and there is even a basket of eggs on the kitchen counter just waiting to be decorated!
Outside has seating areas and a table/chairs for enjoying the weather, a large veggie garden, and lots of lawn for outdoor activities like playing tag.
This house has everything a Sim needs to enjoy Spring!
