Build-n-Share Challenge #20
#20 Oasis Valley Orphans
This Week’s Challenge Specifics:
Rose buzzes through, you put down your latest copy of Dwell and prepare to meet your new clients.
The door opens and you are greeted effusively by a woman with platinum blonde hair and startlingly blue eyes.
"Oh my dear, it's so wonderful to finally meet you!"
Shaking hands you catch the scent of her perfume and find yourself wondering what it is.
"Douglas has told me all about you and your wonderful team, and I find myself in need of an architect and builder."
"Now, I have a very important brief for you, it's not something I have ever seen on Oasis Valley, but it is something that I feel verfy strongly about."
As she catches her breath you go to speak.
"Of...."
"I have noticed a huge number of orphans in the world, who all seem to be sent out on their own to fend for themselves, this seems an atrocious situation to me. Many a time, I have come across an exceedingly large expanse of land, with nought but a tiny little home, which can't hold more than the bare necessities."
"I see." You manage to interject between sentences.
"You created such a wonderful library for Douglas, I simply can't imagine another builder or architect I could entrust such a project to."
"I want you to build an orphanage, but nothing like those austere prison blocks that are prevalent both here and back home in England. Somewhere the children will feel safe and able to learn the lessons of life, as well as abasic education."
You wait patiently for her to start her next sentence, but find her looking at you expectantly.
"So, you want us to build you an orphanage?" Your mind boggles, you have never undertaken such a task before.
"That is correct." She says.
"How many orphans do you want to cater for?" You ask, your mind racing.
"Let's start with 12, shall we, we might have to look at another centre later on though."
"So, a place for 12 orphans, did you want a dormitory style build, or separate bedrooms?"
"Hmmm, a good question, how about a mix of both, a dormitory for four, and bedroom that sleeps two, for both the girls and the boys. Is that acceptable?"
"I think we can manage that. Did I hear you correctly when you said you wanted them to be able to access a basic education at the site?"
"Yes, you did."
"So a classroom or two then?"
"Yes, that would probably be best."
"How about a creche, an early years centre for the children and then a formal classroom for the teenagers?"
"Why that sounds perfect! Oh, there would need to be a couple of spare bedrooms for matrons and so on, and I would like to be able to stay on some occasions."
This job just seemed to keep getting bigger and bigger you think to yourself.
"Oh and a large hall, a multipurpose area, with a kitchen for meal times, assemblies, dances and fundraising events."
"Is there anything else you can think of?" You ask, crossing your fingers that this is the extent of the mammoth task.
"Apart from a swimming pool, no, I think we have covered everything."
"Except the budget." You add.
"Of course, how forgetful of me, let's say a total cost of no more than $650,000 shall we."
Breathing a huge sigh of relief at the funds available you say "Ok Miss Montpellier, I am hopeful that we can get this together for you in two weeks."
"Wonderful, thank you for seeing me this afternoon, and I look forwards to seeing what your team come up with."
