Build-n-Share Challenge #150 • Returning Home

Build Deadline: Wednesday 10th September, Midnight Central

Returning Home

The workload have become a bit less. Which you don’t mind, since there will be a lot more to come in the next periods. You have an appointment coming in an half an hour and you go through your portfolio to see if you have any examples you find suitable.

Rose comes in to announce your appointment have arrived.
“Send him in, I’m ready”

“Hello sir, why don’t you sit down?” As Rose comes in to escort the new client.
“Good morning, my name is Blake Hall. I’m glad you had time to meet me”
Blake sits down at the other side of your desk.

You must have blinked too long because you totally missed that Rose placed a new cup of coffee in front of you and left.
The man in front of you is still young. Ash blond hair, well build but there is something about him that makes him a bit geeky.

“So tell me, what can I help you with?” You ask.
Blake gives you a thoughtful look. “Well, I just finished my college degree in Technology and am now moving back. But I feel I don’t want to move back in with my parents after living on campus.”
“Oh I can understand that, don’t worry” You answer. “So what are your preferences?”

“I love cars. And I don’t mean expensive speed monsters per se, I actually love working on them. So a 2 car garage is a must for me. Attached to the house would be preferable. So I can get to it easily. I don’t actually have a car yet, but that will not take long.” Blake chuckles.
“Also since I’m alone for now, 1 bedroom would be enough with a bathroom. Though I don’t mind it being en suite, as long as it is accessible from a main part from the house as well. I don’t want guests to go through my bedroom to go to the toilet. My budget it $45.000”

You laugh a bit. “It seems you have this well thought through. But I think I can work with this. How about favourite colours? Or maybe items you want?”

“Hmm” Blake things this over a bit. ”I don’t really have a favourite colour to be honest. I do like orange, but I don’t like it if it’s overwhelming. But some colour throughout the house wouldn’t be bad.”
“And items?” You ask again.
“oh a bookcase where I can learn new skills would be good. And a workplace. I almost forgot that. A separate study would be nice, but absolutely not necessary, it can be a desk in the living. As long as it has a computer of some sort. I’m starting a career in the Video Game developing”

“Ok, well I think I got it then. In two weeks the house will be done” You shake Blakes hand once more as you say your goodbyes.

“Thank you so much and I am anxious to see it!”


Requirements:

• 20x20 lot
• 1 Bedroom
• 1 Bathroom (accessible from main part of the house)
• 2 car garage attached to the house
• Your choice of colors
• Budget is $45,000
• Study area with computer and bookcase (can be open floorplan)

Optional Challenge:
Make Blake Hall and show him in his new house

Challenge #151 • Curtis. Douglas Curtis… The Third

Build Deadline: Wednesday, 24th September, Midnight CMT

It was the sound of unending barking that drew you back to the surface, away from the depths of the design you were working on for an architectural magazine. As the creative fog lifts from your brain, you realize you recognize the sound of that bark. Its Rose’s little dog. Weird. Usually the dog is very quiet and never barks at people. With a sigh you get up to go see why the barking hasn't been stopped yet.

Stepping to the doorway, you see a tableau that makes you pause.

Rose is sitting at her desk, looking like she’s struggling to maintain her “meet the client” friendly composure. Leaning against her desk, flashing a charming smile, is a man you vaguely recognize from a magazine cover. Rose’s little dog has deserted her usual post to back into a corner where she can see everything and bark at this new human male. “Rose?” You inquire uncertainly, concerned.

The look on Rose’s face as she looks over at you is one of blissful relief. You however, only hear the honking of a horn and the screech of tires that comes with being thrown under the bus. “Wonderful timing! Mr. Curtis here was just telling me what kind of house he wants!”

‘Curtis…Curtis…Oh no…’ You think, realizing who he is.

Douglas Curtis the Third, famous adventurer, explorer and vaguely associated with Archaeology. His tall, khaki wearing and very broad shouldered presence graced more than a few of the magazines you’ve seen. Many a young lady has sighed over his chiselled good looks, thick sun bleached blonde hair and deeply tanned skin. His charming and schmoozy personality has enjoyed a lot of TV coverage and there seemed to be no end to the self propagandising articles about his exploits.

Forcing a smile on your face, and responding to the demands of friendship, you hold out your hand. “Mr Curtis. Its nice to meet you. Why don't we go back into my office and talk about what you’re looking for?”

With a wink and a charming smile, he tilts his head in Rose’s direction. “Think I already have.” Fortunately his eyes are on you so he misses the roll of eyes that Rose gives. “Anyway, what I've got in mind is actually a number of challenges for the right architect. Starting off with a new home. I'm moving to Willow Creek and I want a home worthy of being my home base. I've been all over the world so I don't have any real style preferences, just something that will showcase my artefacts, finds and trophies. Money isn't really a problem. But something…penthouse like. Perhaps 2 bedrooms, including the master suite. I throw a lot of parties so the place has to be impressive…Great kitchen, formal dining, office, living room…if there's a balcony it needs to be set up for entertaining…”

“Sounds rather detailed Mr. Curtis. Does it need to be an apartment?” You ask, jotting notes down on the pad of paper Rose handed you.

“I hadn't really decided but you know what? The more I think about it the more I like the idea. Yes. I’d like it to be a penthouse.”

“Okay. What about budget?”

“Would 150K be too modest?” He tosses a wink at Rose.

“I think we can put something together in a couple weeks for you.” You say, trying to draw his attention back to you.

He straightens up and shakes your hand, “Great. I'm headed to Al Simhara tomorrow anyway. Cant wait to see it when its done.” He hands a card to Rose, “But if you want to get that drink I’ll put off my trip for you…” Gives another blindingly white smile, before he lets you show him out.

Returning to Rose’s desk, you pick up the card and study it. Then turn and offer it to the approaching dog. The little animal sniffs it, lets out a short growl, then snatches it and runs out the door. You both go to the window and watch as the little dog digs a hole and buries it, leaving you both helpless with laughter.

Requirements:
•Penthouse
•Hot tub/sauna
•2 bedrooms
•Full Master Suite
•Balcony
•Formal Kitchen and Dining
•Ready to entertain
•150k budget

Challenge #152 • The Olsens

Build Deadline: Wednesday October 8th, Midnight CMT

It was with much stifled, exasperated laughter that you accepted the profuse thanks from Douglas Curtis. The ever faithful (and merciless) Rose spent most of that interview pretending to be completely oblivious towards the hints and suggestions for dinners or drinks. Finally, after managing to cut the schmoozing and posturing short, you shut the door behind him and lean back against it. You lock eyes with Rose and both of you let out a deep, relieved sigh.

“Close up early?” You ask.

“Drinks?” Rose responds with. You smile and turn to lock the door.

Barely have your fingers touched the deadbolt lock then you see a man and a woman coming up the walk. “Drinks are on pause Rose. Clients.” You grin, hearing Rose’s muffled profanity, then open the door graciously for the couple.

They look startled, then smile back. The woman strikes you as a very warm and friendly person, with sunny blonde hair and bright blue eyes. “Oh! How nice!” She says in a playful voice. Her husband smiles, “Great welcome.” Already balding and possessed of a close-cropped beard, his eyes are just a blue and project a calm steadiness that make you feel like you’re reunited with an old friend.

“Thank you. Please come in.” You shut the door, then introduce yourself.

“I'm Don and this is my wife Judy. We’re here for a house.” He says.

“Great! Let's go back to my office.” You say, leading them back.

After many compliments on the interior decorating and the layout, Judy settles into her chair, folds her hands in her lap and then gets right to the heart of it. “Don and I are wanting a custom house. He’s the new fire chief and I'm a teacher. We've decided that since we’re going to spend the rest of our lives here, we want something exactly right.”

“Define ‘exactly right’.” You request, taking notes.

“Well, we both like colonial architecture, so that's what we would like for the exterior and the landscaping. But inside, we love modern interiors. My favorite color is blue and his is brown.”

“Minimum of 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and one-half bath…but if you can put more bedrooms in that would be great,” Don interjects. “With a soaking tub. My hobby is woodworking so if you could put together a nice workshop for me that would be nice. Also, a 2 car garage.”

“None of that sounds like an issue.” You say confidently.

Judy smiles, “Well, there is one more thing….”

“Okay.”

“Our parents are going to be coming out in a month. His mother and father and my mother. All three are retired, and they don't always get along. So rather than build a wing or two for them, we've decided on separate houses. But we’ll get into that later. Let's just say we need a nice large lot and our new house to be positioned with that in mind.”

“Can do. What's my budget for this build?”

“Well, we were thinking about $75k,” suggests Don. “That enough?”

“Sure. Will 2 weeks be soon enough?”

“Sure.” He stands up, holds out his hand. “Cant wait to see what you make.”

“Me too!” Judy chimes in, also shaking your hand before being escorted out by Rose.

You jot down a few more notes before Rose comes back, chirping “Doors locked!”

“Then let's go!” You say, grabbing your jacket.

Requirements:
Large lot 50×50 or 64×64
2 Beds
2.5 Baths
Colonial Architecture
Modern Interior
Colonial Landscaping
Wood Shop
2 car garage
75k budget

Challenge #153 • The Olsen's Part 2

Morning. Who said morning had to come so early? ‘Whoever it was, they deserve a good punch in the mouth’, you decide as you grumpily sit down at your desk. And a Monday morning was even worse. A few scant hours of sleep after spending far too much time at a charity fundraiser the night before somehow only served to make you feel more tired. Desperately gulping down the caffeine-laden pumpkin spiced latte you picked up on the way in, you hope it will cure your exhausted grouchiness before your first appointment.

An email from Judy@theolsens.com catches your eye as you wade through the Monday morning inbox.

“Hi! I'm so sorry, but Don and I are going to have to miss our appointment with you this Monday. We've had a family emergency. I wanted to tell you though, that we love our new home and look forward to spending the rest of our lives there.

However, we wanted to tell you about part 2 of our project. We are both very close to our parents, being only children. My Mom and both of his parents. We’d like you to build 2 more houses on the property, one for each of our parents. Our parents are…tolerant of each other, so individual houses are best. Each house should be Colonial in design and tie in with the main house that you built for us. Of course, appropriate landscaping is a must.

His parents, Leroy and Charlotte, prefer an Arts and Crafts style of decorating and interior. Their house should be 1 bedroom, 1.5 baths at least. His mother uses a walker, so nothing cluttered so she can get around. She needs a sewing room for her hobbies and he needs a den for when he watches hockey. My mother in law hates hockey. They still drive, so a small one car garage would be nice.

My mother, Vivian, prefers a Coastal/Eclectic style of décor. She loves to read and write, so good lighting and lots of bookshelves are a must. Her house should be 1 bedroom and 1.5 baths as well. She also likes to garden, so a small greenhouse out back for her to putter in would be a great addition. She does not drive, so no need for a garage there.

I hope you’re interested in taking on this challenge. We will be back in about 2 weeks since both parents will be arriving then. If you have any problems, let me know!

Thanks, Judy.”

You lean back in your chair, thinking over the request. ‘Shouldn't be too hard

Requirements:
2 small homes, with colonial architecture and landscaping
Each home must have 1 bedroom, 1.5 baths
Total budget of $125k

Leroy and Charlotte’s home:
Arts and Crafts interior
Sewing room
Den
Garage
Walker friendly

Vivian’s home:
Coastal/Eclectic interior
Greenhouse
Good lighting
Lots of bookshelves

Optional Challenge
Make Leroy, Charlotte and Vivian and show one photo of each of them doing what they love!

Leroy is active and grumpy,
Charlotte is creative and nice,
Vivian loves the outdoors and is a bookworm.

The rest of the traits, as always, are up to you!

Note, if you did not take part in the first part of this challenge, then you can of course still enter part two. You should just build the two homes on a lot no larger than 30x20.

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.

Challenge #155 - Net Worth

You're hunched over your sketchpad at the drafting table when Rose bursts into your office, practically slamming the door shut behind her. Your usually calm and collected assistant is clearly rattled, given the lack of color in her cheeks and her sky-high eyebrows.

“Rose, what's wrong?” you ask, noting the faint tremor in her hands.

“I think...” Rose whispers, “I think your next clients may be some kind of criminals! My favorite china tea cup and the antique fountain pen from my mother have mysteriously vanished since they walked in the door. Not to mention they just seem... intimidating. Should I tell them you're booked?” Not one to shy away from a challenge or curiosity, you shake your head.

“No, go ahead and send them in. I will at least meet with them before I make a decision. Maybe hide anything else valuable that isn't nailed down.” Rose nods and then opens the door, waving the new clients into your office and then scurrying back to her desk.

Two large men in boots and cargo pants enter the room, both muscular and imposing, their faces impossible to read behind dark sunglasses. Wordlessly, they stand on either side of your office door, arms folded, as a diminutive woman with ink-black hair in leather saunters through the door. The defiant tilt of her chin belies her small stature.

“I'm Mara Sloane. My associates and I are in need of your services. We can more than compensate you for your efforts.” Sitting at your desk, you glance nonchalantly at the items on its surface, making a mental list.

“Of course,” you say. “Why don't you have a seat and tell me what it is that you need.” Ms. Sloane remains standing.

“We are looking for a utilitarian space, like a warehouse, in which we can both live and conduct business. We each need our own bedrooms, at least two bathrooms, a functional kitchen, a living room or common space, a computer lab, and a garage for multiple vehicles. The building needs to be nondescript, like it's always been there. We don't want something that will attract a lot of attention. It also needs ample storage for our shipments. We need a new location quickly, so it must be completed in two weeks. Are you willing to take the job?”

As you clear your throat to answer, the words “THE ANSWER IS YES” flash across your computer screen so fast that you're not convinced you saw them. None of them appears to have moved a muscle. How...?

Then Ms. Sloane snaps her fingers at the men, and one of them hands her a small duffel bag. She drops it on your desk and yanks the zipper open.

“Two hundred thousand Simoleons. That should cover your costs.” You nod, at a complete loss for words. “Good. We'll be in touch.”

“Wait!” you say, as they turn to leave. “What line of work did you say you were in?” Without pausing, Ms. Sloane calls out over her shoulder.

“I didn't.”

And with that, they're gone. Rose darts into your office, eyes wide, and you both stare in shock at her tea cup and fountain pen sitting smack dab on the center of your desk.

The Brief:
❖ 30x30 lot in the world of your choosing
❖ Nondescript, industrial building
❖ 3 bedrooms
❖ 2+ bathrooms
❖ Functional kitchen
❖ Common room
❖ Computer lab
❖ 2- or 3-car garage
❖ Storage for “shipments”
❖ Budget is $200,000

Optional Challenge
Create Mara Sloane and her associates, Malik Yateem and Kurai Tsukino, and show them using the space you create. Mara is rebellious, brave, and a kleptomaniac. Malik is charismatic, handy, and a kleptomaniac. Kurai is a genius, computer whiz, and a kleptomaniac. You choose the other 2 traits for each.

Optional challenge: Mara recently met up with her half brothers, Malik and Kurai, and decided to start them in the family business. They all have the same father(he was a bit of a skirt chaser).

Challenge #156 - The Game is Afoot

It was the rumble of an engine that drew your attention from the folio of house designs you were perusing while enjoying the beautiful fall weather on the porch. Pulling up to your curb with the grace of a large cat, is a fire engine red GTO with black racing stripes. Sunlight gleamed off the muscle car like it had just come off of a showroom floor.

As you admire the curves and lines of the car, another sight to admire steps out. A deep red long coat snaps in the playful fall wind as he walks towards the steps. With the wind tugging at his dark hair, this mysterious stranger looks as if he stepped out of the pages of a graphic novel.

Up close, you note an interesting blend of Spanish and Chinese heritage in a handsome face. Surprisingly intense amber colored eyes study you, making it seem as if all your secrets are available for him to read. Noting the folio in your hand, he smiles, a roguishly charming smile. “Are you the architect?”

“Um, yes.” You give yourself a shake and stand up to shake his hand. “Yes, I am. You have a beautiful car.”

“Thank you. My adopted father and I restored it together. My name is Jesus Wu.”

“It's nice to meet you Mr Wu, Did we have an appointment?”

“No. I was hoping to make one or just talk to you in person. I need a house.”

You smile, “Everyone needs a house Mr Wu.”

“you could put that on a T-shirt.”

Now you grin, “I should do that. Do you want to sit out here and talk about your house? Or do you want to go inside?”

“Out here is fine. It's beautiful out.” He sits down. After fetching a pen and paper, he starts in. “I would like a house on a nice lot, with a great view and a little isolated. The furthest lot out on Redwood Parkway in Sunset Valley is a great example of what I want. Obviously I need a good garage for my GTO. I’d like a master bedroom with en suite bathroom. A hot tub. I work from home so I’d like an office.”

“What kind of work do you do Mr Wu?” you inquire, taking rapid notes.

“I’m a private detective. I travel a lot, so I will need a good security system. My friend Mike and Reggie like to visit, so I need a guest bedroom. I also need a full bath. I’d like open concept. I have enemies and I want to have clear line of sight in case someone follows me home. I fence, as well as dance and do martial arts. I need some place to work out and train.”

“All of those are very doable. Any preferences in style or design features?”

“Not really. I have kind of an eclectic style. Comfortable.”

“Sounds good. When do you need your new home?”

“When can you have it? I’m staying at a hotel right now.”

“2 weeks?”

He looks impressed. “2 weeks it is. Thanks.” He stands up to go.

“Oh! Mr Wu!

“Yes?”

“What is your budget?”

“75k.”

“Alright. Thank you.”

“Later.” He says, casually tossing a wave over his shoulder as he heads back to his car. You watch him climb in and start the car. As he pulls away from the curb, you note a dark car with tinted windows pull away and follow…

The Brief:
❖ The 25×30 lot on Redwood Parkway or a 25x35 lot from Edit Town
❖ Isolated or on the edges of the town.
❖ Master bedroom with en suite bath
❖ Guest bedroom
❖ 1 full bath in addition to en suite.

Mr. Jesus Wu is of Spanish and Chinese descent. He is very handsome and could possibly have even been a male model if he had chosen to be. He is a Leo who is both brave and athletic. He loves spying on people and the drama that comes with some of his private eye cases. Even though he is unique in looks, he is able to blend into the background on stake-outs by talking with females in the area. (He never has trouble getting dates.) He loves Latin music for the beat and the color red. His father's famous Dim Sum is his favorite dish. He is perceptive, charismatic, and has a star quality about him. His goal in life is to be an international spy!

Challenge #157 - Reuse and Recycle

“Dear?” Rose’s voice inquires over your intercom. Her dog had recently had a litter of puppies. And ever since Rose had been feeling sentimental. “One of the puppies is missing.”

With a smile, you turn away from where you are playing with one of the wandering puppies. “I know. He’s in here with me. I think I need to adopt him.”

“Absolutely. In the mean time your next client, Ms. Bloodclaw, is here.”

“Okay. Send Ms. Bloodclaw in.” You giggle as you nudge the puppy with your foot and watch him attack said foot. The scratches in the shoe are totally worth it. Its the sound of high heels clipping briskly along the hallway that reminds you its time to get your game face on. Quickly you scoop the puppy into your lap and scoot under your desk. Just in time. The door opens and in walks a woman with a direct gaze and a regal air.

Thick, wavy hair of raven black is scooped back from a beautiful face. Green eyes the color of priceless emeralds smolder in a pale face over a pair of blood red lips. With a change of costume, she would easily be a perfect model for any vampire or gothic novel. Instead however she wore a perfectly tailored business suit that could only be described as a power suit. She held out a perfectly manicured hand and smiled. “Jade Bloodclaw, Bloodclaw Industries.”

You’ve heard of Bloodclaw Industries. 5 years ago it was a failing company with investors bailing out like rats on a sinking ship. Then it was reacquired by the company founder’s daughter. Now it was soaring rapidly north through the Fortune 500. And the company CEO, the woman who now sat across from you, was being featured on the cover of Sims magazine. She couldn’t be more than 30 if that.

You smile quickly, and exchange a firm, brisk handshake with her. “Its nice to meet you. Please have a seat.”

“Thank you. I appreciate your being able to meet me so quickly.” She crosses her legs and smoothes the sleek skirt in a habitual gesture. “I’ve heard so many good things about you and your work I thought you would have a waiting list.”

“We pride ourselves on completing our work quickly.”

“So I’ve heard. I have to admit though, what decided me was hearing one particular client of yours sing your praises.”

“Oh?” You inquire, trying not to grit your teeth as the puppy on your lap suddenly decides that the hand holding him was a chew toy.

“Douglas Curtis is not a man easily distracted from…” She pauses, reconsidering her words, “His personal concerns.” You can hear what she didn’t say: that Douglas Curtis wasn’t easily distracted from his ego.

“You know him?” You’re a bit surprised. She didn’t appear to you to handle the egotistical easily. You free your hand from the puppy.

“My company has consulted with him in the past in various endeavors.” She rolls her eyes, still smiling. “So when he was so quick to give you praise, I decided to bring this intriguing challenge to you.”

“I’m very interested to hear about this challenge,” You assure her, trying to catch the puppy before he wiggles his way off your lap.

“Good. Though I have a question first.”

“Yes?”

“Whats on your lap? Puppy or kitten?” She grins at you, making you laugh.

“One of Rose’s puppies. Sorry.” You scoot back a little and show her.

“Not at all.” She holds out her hands and takes the puppy, playing with him on her lap as she speaks. “Bloodclaw Industries has a wide variety of interest from cybernetics to fashion to shipping. Recently I acquired a shipping company to bolster the shipping aspect of things. Since the plan is to use it primarily for moving company assets, I’m left with a number of large steel containers. I don’t want them to go to waste in some dockyard or in some landfill. That’s not efficient or healthy for the environment.

“It was a friend of mine, Erica, who suggested using them for housing. A kind of eco friendly house. So I thought I would put the challenge before you. I want to give you 4 steel containers. You convert them into a house, in any style or formation you want. This is a prototype. If it comes out like I expect it to, it will be the first of many. You have $25,000 for the interior, including things like windows and stairs. Though this is a prototype, I want prospective buyers to feel like this could be there home. Also, an appealing location, to lure those who might be put off by living in reused shipping containers.”

“That goes without saying. Will two weeks be fine?”

“Yes.” She checks her watch, “I’m afraid I must go.” Jade hands you a business card, “If you have any more questions. Please let me know.” She also hands the puppy back, “Thank you for seeing me.”

After she leaves, you abandon any pretense of work to continue playing with the puppy.

Requirements:
❖ 30×20 lot
❖ 4 – 10×4 shipping containers placed in any formation you want.
Note: Prior to remodeling, show us the shipping container layout as if you had just finished stacking the containers.
❖ $25,000 for the remodel
❖ Full landscaping.

Optional Challenge:
Show the home’s new owner/owners!

Have fun!

Challenge #158 - A Very Merry Christmas

Deadline: Wednesday 31st December, Midnight CMT

You sit at your desk looking at your holiday to-do list, when Rose pokes her head in the door. Perplexed she says, "Your four o'clock is here." "Send them on in", you reply. She hands you a packet that smells faintly of vanilla and spices. Rose states,"This was dropped off about an hour ago with a note saying it was your four o'clock appointment!"
You open the packet with some apprehension to find a letter written on beautiful stationary and another piece of paper. You read that letter without uttering a single word. Rose jumps up to read the letter over your shoulder. This is what you both see and read.

Challenge #159 - A Very Merry Christmas Part II

Sitting at home, curled up in front of your fire, you feel very pleased with yourself. You have made someone's Holiday so very special this year. As you find yourself nodding off to sleep you imagine that you can hear sleigh bells in the distance. You figure you must be dreaming as they sound like they are getting closer. They stop and as someone knocks on your front door you are wide awake. "Who on earth could be calling at this time on New Years Day?" You ask yourself. You slowly unfurl yourself from your cosy chair and reticently leave the warmth of the fire, heading to the front door. You open it to be faced with someone who looks a lot like Santa Claus!

"Ah, wonderful, I just wanted to come and thank you for completing The Lines' home so spectacularly."

You blink, figuring that you must actually still be asleep.

You nod mutely at the jolly gentleman dressed in red.

"I have another favour to ask of you though..." He says, almost shyly.

Again, unable to find your voice, you nod.

"Well, I'll ask Mrs C to email you all the details. Wishing you a Happy New Year!!"

Feeling a little absurd you nod once more.

And just like that he steps of your front porch and into the sleigh waiting at the end of your driveway. Sleigh bells start up as you find yourself staring at a dozen reindeer all hooked up to the front of it. Closing the door, you head to your office and unlock your tablet and there waiting for you is an email from mrandmrsc@thenorthpole.com. Shaking your head, you open it.

My Dear,

Thank you once more for the wonderful job you did for The Lines family. It has come to my attention that we were rather remiss in our appraisal of the homeless situation here in Sunset Valley. There are a number of families that were without shelter over Mr C and mine's favourite day of the year. In our haste, I'm afraid we decided that The Shelter would not be needed and as so, we removed it (Fairy dust is such a powerful thing!!)

We were therefore hoping that you could build a new place for us to help those less fortunate than ourselves.

Here is a list of our requests.
☆ It needs to be on a rather large lot, I would guess a lot size of 40x40 would be best.
☆ Three to four self-contained apartment style spaces (which would be suitable for a family of up to 5 including the possibility of a baby)
☆ A large recreation area with entertainment present for all ages (this should also be able to be converted into an emergency shelter)
☆ A play area outside for little ones
☆ A vegetable plot to help the families receive a balanced diet for little outlay

Sim Challenge:
We would like to see how the less fortunate of Oasis Springs take to their new shelter.

Oh yes, Mr C and I are going to fund this build, so spend as much as you feel you have to!!

Happy New Year to you!

Mrs C

Finally, you find your voice. "Rose is never going to believe me!" You say out loud as you shake your head.
