Build’n’Share Challenge #35
We Have A Plan
Feeling refreshed after your new year break and proud of your all you achieved in 2015 you sit at your desk with a cup of green tea and some rice cakes. All that celebrating over the festive period has meant that you are in serious need of a detox.
Rose knocks on the door.
“Come on in Rose,” you say. She enters and gives you a slightly wary look. Struggling to stifle your giggles, as you remember her and your previous client under the mistletoe at the New Year’s Eve party, you give her your most professional smile and ask her what she needs.
“Well, I was just wondering if you were ready for your next clients.”
“I have clients booked in this morning?” You ask surprised. When you checked your diary on New Year’s Eve the week was free.
“Yes, they emailed last week, I did forward it onto you didn’t I?”
You quickly do a scan of your emails, you spy no emails from Rose, but considering the whirlwind of her first week of 2016 you decide to give her a reprieve.
“Nope, no email, but not to worry. Show them in.”
Rose ushers your new clients into your office, a man, of about 30, with short blonde hair, blue eyes and a goatee, and a woman of around the same age with fiery long red hair and hazel coloured eyes. They politely decline Rose’s offer of refreshments. Making a hasty exit, Rose closes the door behind her.
“Hi there,” you say with a welcoming smile.
“How can we help you today?”
“Well, we were assured that you were the architect to come to for a special project. My name is Ned and this is my wife Edna. We are new to the area and are looking for a place to call our own.”
“I’m sure that I can help you with that,” You say brightly.
“We have a slightly odd request, though, and have been turned down by a number of different architects,” Edna says with an impish grin.
“We don’t know what sort of house we want,” she continues.
“No idea at all,” Ned chimes in.
“We have an idea of the shape of the place, but no clue as to what style it should be.”
“Well, that is a new one for me!” You say, slightly flummoxed.
“But you don’t seem overly concerned?” this, from Edna.
“Nope, we often get people who are a little unsure of which direction they should take their build in, and they have all been happy with what we have designed for them.”
“I told you we would find someone,” Edna says to her husband.
“I will need some details, such as how many bedrooms, if you need an office, space for a car, that sort of thing.”
“We were looking for 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, a dine-in kitchen, not a formal dining area. A music room would be nice, although, I guess we could incorporate that into one of the bedrooms for now, as we don’t have children yet.” Edna seems incredibly excited, as she talks almost without pause.
“Ned owns a store in the next town over, and I’m an elementary school teacher, so I guess an office would be good, hey honey?”
Her husband just nods.
“Did you want one or two storeys?” you ask, racking your brains to try and find out as much information as you can about what they do know that they want.
“We don’t know,” they say as one and giggle.
“We would like somewhere to park the wagon though,” says Edna.
“Ok, that sounds good. So, you said you knew the shape of the home?” You ask.
“Yep, we have a footprint, but that is all.”
“One last thing, the budget?”
“Of course, we have some simoleons from the sale of our previous homes, my studio and Ned’s house. We can go as far as $125,000.”
“Okelydokely then!” You have no idea where that came from.
You rise to your feet as they get up to leave.
“We’ll have the place ready for you in a fortnight, sound good to you?”
“Perfect,” they say, once more in unison.
Brief:
Download this footprint from the gallery and do your thing, the style and layout is completely up to you.
Budget of $125k
3 bedrooms
2.5 bathrooms
Dine in kitchen
Somewhere to park a car
Notes: You can not add to the footprint, however, the use of the footprint is entirely up to you. You can designate part of the footprint to be outdoor space. You may add storeys if you wish.
Sim Challenge: Create Ned and Edna. Ned is cheerful and neat, Edna is childish and family oriented, the other trait and their aspirations are up to you.
Room Challenge: Create the dine in kitchen, you must still use the floor plan for this and you have a budget of $25k.

ENTRY DETAILS: so for this challenge, the footprint posed a huge challenge due to the curved edges only being able have fences applied to them. I first tried a colonial type build, and it seems off center and it just didn't work well. I then got the inspiration to maybe go modern so that I could play with the edges a little more and what I didn't use as the house, I would try utilize in a cool way as an outdoor area. I chose some traditional aspects in the build like the stone accent and lush garden, to keep the modern look from being too harsh. I wanted to make sure it still seemed homey. On the inside I tried to use interesting colors because Ned and Edna seem real spontaneous considering they were letting their house be built in any way that the designer chose. I hope you enjoy my build!
