Build-n-Share Challenge #68 - Pastel Equinox Designer Showdown
Challenge Deadline: Wednesday 10th April
So the equinox has passed (vernal or autumnal depending on where you live), the atmospheric light is changing slowly and it’s time for another designer showdown!
Brief: Renovate THIS SHELL into a house with at least 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Feature in some way one of the pastel colors found on the example wall at the front of the lot (this wall can, of course, be eliminated in your final design). The color does not necessarily have to be on a wall or the same wall texture. The color should be pastel and as close to the examples as the game permits (especially for furniture and objects). This does not have to be the only color you use—it just needs to be featured in some way.
WHAT CAN AND CANNOT BE CHANGED:
Walls:
Exterior walls cannot be eliminated or added on to with other exterior walls.
The wall height may be changed.
Foundations may be added to the walls.
The footprint of the house may be moved to any place on the 40 x 20 lot that the game will allow. (The house must be built on the Sandy Run lot in Newcrest.) It may be rotated 180°, if you wish. (Rotating 90° won’t fit on the lot.)
Windows and Doors:
Every wall panel that currently has a window or door must continue to have a window or door, but a two-panel window (or door) may be substituted for two one-panel windows (or doors) that are on adjacent panels or vice versa. Same goes for three windows adjacent to each other.
Windows or doors may not be added to wall panels that do not currently have them.
Any style window or door may be used
Doors may be substituted for windows and vice versa as long as they occupy the same space.
Window height can be adjusted up or down as the game allows.
Roofing:
Any style or configuration of roofing or no roofing at all is allowed.
Porches and Exterior Balconies:
Porches and exterior balconies are allowed as long as new exterior walls are not used to create them. You may attach an extra foundation to the house for this purpose. Fencing, columns and half-walls may be used.
Architecture:
Any style you want
Other structures (garages, pool houses, etc.) may be placed on the lot (using exterior walls) as long as they are not attached to the main house.
Extra stories above may not be added, but one basement level may be added.
Interior Design:
The interior space can be divided with walls, fencing and half walls, however you want.
Staircase(s) must be added. (Staircases may also be added to the exterior of the house as long as new exterior walls are not created.)
Interior flooring may be eliminated as desired: for sunken rooms on the ground floor (with foundation) and/or on the upper floor to create areas open to the ground floor.
Keep in mind the featured pastel color in your interior design. Otherwise, you have free reign.

Landscaping:
The lot must be fully landscaped.
BUDGET: §202,500 (§2,500 for the lot; §200,000 for everything else)
Sim challenge:
None this time around.
Room challenge:
None this time around.

ENTRY DETAILS: This may not be a winner but I did have a lot of fun with it. A real artist's studio occupies the second floor.(At least it is close to my dream studio!) A lot of the living is outside and on the roof top deck. I relied heavily on the blue pastel on walls, furnishings and even a lot of the decorations. I am sure my landscaping has improved this round! (At least I like it.) Hobbies for 4 people include camera, easel, violin, and a guitar for everybody. Even the sculptures on the work table are workable and The "Hansons" seem to love changing them. A very tidy crew, they keep putting much of the kitchen clutter in the dishwasher: cups, drink mix etc.(All comes back on fresh download!) The front yard is just pretty but the back yard is a luxurious place to relax and BBQ in beautiful surroundings. Trees provide nice shade over the benches. Every reasonable space was planted and good soil applied! Athletic equipment is a punching bag and a basketball hoop so they can stay fit and healthy as a group activity.The main space is the art studio that includes a models changing screen, a posing pedestal with a seat and two sources of good artificial light over and above the ceiling light. (Above all, an artist needs great lighting!) As tends to be the case with many artists, wine is on the scene. Best of all the Hanson's really enjoy all the facilities! A good house for Blues fans, pastel blues are everywhere.

ENTRY DETAILS: I've been building homes for my daughter's use for a little while now, but this is my first Build N Share entry and it was really fun! I decided to make a modern home with the entire interior in the pastel blue. I'm sure there is a lot of room for improvement but the only way I'm going to get better is to try, so I encourage feedback and welcome all constructive criticism. Thank you! P.S. I read a guide on uploading images to the forum but I'm not sure it will let me (I think this is my first post to the forums and it said about having points?) Let me know if it looks like I've done something wrong. :blush:

And my two most recent builds have been modern so time to change it up! I've never participated in a challenge to feature a certain color so I featured a couple of colors downstairs (yellow outdoors and yellow and blue) and a couple more colors upstairs (a pink bedroom and a light orange bedroom). Thanks to @StSciurus for the interesting shell! I had the opportunity to step outside of my comfort zone and work my little grey cells. In the end (ahem--won't say how long /that/ took), I was happy with the flow of the floor plan.

ENTRY DETAILS: I wanted to do something different- so I went with the traditional floorplan Astylings of an ancient Roman villa but designed for a more modern empire. I used the pastel sun to represent the rising sun that the owner of this home feels their empire to be experiencing but I also leaned heavily on deeper orange throughout the decor to represent the setting sun as most Empires are already in decline when they perceive themselves to be at their height. In traditional Roman villas doorways were often just covered with curtains rather than true doors and that is the tact I have taken here as well- so yes, the curtain hung doorways are on purpose, lol. The fourth bedroom in this build is for a live in servant and is in the basement attached to the kitchen- it has an ensuite bath. There are more notes with the pictures on Facebook.
