Build-n-Share Challenge #25
#25 Summer Designer Showdown This Week’s Challenge Specifics: It is that time again! Time to let your style truly shine and compete in the Summer Designer Showdown! You will all decorate the same shell for this challenge. This time, it’s all about Design and Landscaping.
We saw some amazing results and even some favorited lots with the past showdowns, so heat things up even more this time and dazzle the masses with your designer magic. You have 2 full weeks for this challenge, so pay attention to detail and make those lots beautiful!
But, wait, there is a twist! You must choose ONE inspiration object to base your design on. It can be ANY object from ANY category of the catalogue! In your media, the first picture in your slideshow should be of your inspiration object. It does not have to be a literal translation of the object, so please describe in the "Entry Details" section of the entry form how you drew inspiration from the object you chose.
This is the house:

Rules and details:
•You can designate the rooms however you like, but your outcome should be a 3 bedroom house with 2 bathrooms.
•You cannot change the size or location of foundations, exterior walls, and roofing.
•Yes, all exterior walls, foundations, and roofing sizes must remain the same.
•You can, however, add INTERIOR walls; as long as the home remains a 3bdr/2ba home.
•You can replace doors, windows, and stairs, but they have to remain in the same position (meaning if it's a 2 tile window, you have to replace it with a 2 tile window or 2 single tile windows, etc.) Doors CAN be replaced with an arch of the same size if desired.
•You can't change the roof
shape, but you CAN change the texture and color, the pitch, add trim, adjust the curvature, etc.

A reminder, when you provide media for your build to allow us to give you feedback, please ensure that it is in the form of a slideshow. No videos please, as these make the process a lot more cumbersome.Deadline: Wednesday 26th August, Midnight CMT. Entry List Starting OutFORUM ID:Buttonsginger

ENTRY DETAILS: I chose the 4 plumbob picture, it is my favourite from the Sims4. I thought it would be fun to include the colors in my build, it brought a uplifting build and I am pleased with it. From the outside it looks traditional and on the inside it just isn't what you expect, modern colourful and contemporary.

ENTRY DETAILS: My inspiration object was the "Martian Memories Landscape" picture in the decorations category. It's a picture of a beach and so I customised my home around a coastal theme. The lot is primarily made up of blue coastal colours as I thought this best represented the theme. The landscape has also been worked around a beach as the backyard consists of a pier coming off the house and two re purposed beach huts.
CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: I would like to receive constructive criticism for my entry.
CREDIT FOR CC/RECOLORS: No CC used although my lot says it's modded - I think this is because I resized objects and used cheats such as moo, unlock objects and buydebug.

ENTRY DETAILS: used the Astro Model Rocket as inspiration for a family home of space travel and science enthusiasts. I tried to go for a modern feel in the interior with lots of space themed art. Used natural materials in places to contrast.
Edit - Just wanted to add that I left out the rocket on purpose as the idea is more about the dream of space travel than the reality. Also it's dark in places I know, I did add lighting but then it made areas just too bright were I wanted a darker feel I could have done better with this tho

ENTRY DETAILS: The inspiration object is a picture named 'Time Will Tell in B-flat'. The sunflowers against the blue background inspired me to
build a beach style home, the yellow representing the sand and the blue the sky/sea, hence the yellow/blue colour scheme. Thinking seaside led to a build for rest and relaxation.

TOTAL COST: 409,270
LINK TO ENTRY SLIDESHOW: The A.R.C.
ENTRY DETAILS: My inspirational item was the Reflective Caution Zone Warning Sign, which can be viewed below. For whatever reason it screamed alien research to me, so that's what I went for! The Alien Research Complex or A.R.C. is a facility designed specifically for scientific exploration and discovery. It features a medical bay and botany lab in the main building, as well as a telescope with a diagnostic lab at the rear of the complex. The main building also features a scanning chamber and sterilization alcove to keep the crew safe and secure. During downtime, said crew can enjoy themselves in the spa, lounge or mess hall - only after whipping up a gourmet meal in their state of the art kitchen with bar - or they can better themselves and their skills in the game chamber or fitness center. The only question is, in space, no one can hear you scream, but can they hear you sim?
