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."

The Brief:
Total lot cost, no more than $500,000
50x50 lot in Oasis Valley
Your choice of architecture and style
2 dorm style rooms that sleep four, one for the girls and one for the boys
2 bedrooms that sleep two, one for the girls and one for the boys
3 ensuite double bedrooms, for staff and Miss Montpellier
An office for the Miss Montpellier, which should double as a staff room
A reception area
A large multipurpose hall, with attached kitchen
A creche area
An early years learning space
A formal classroom
Your choice on how many bathrooms and how you locate them (apart from the staff’s rooms)
An indoor pool with changing facilities
Full landscaping

Build-n-Share Challenge #21

#21 Coming Home to Newcrest


This Week’s Challenge Specifics:

It had been a bit of a long trip, but you have to admit it was worth it. On one side of you a wide river winds its lazy way along. On the other side of you are spacious empty lots fronted by a tree dotted avenue. The area is blissfull quiet. You stop next to a cherry tree and close your eyes, basking in the moment.

“Beautiful, isn’t it?” The unexpected sound of Douglas Curtis the III’s voice very nearly makes you climb the tree next to you. After he gets his laughter under control, DC3 claps you on the shoulder. “I didn’t mean to startle you my friend.”

You smile at him, trying to reclaim some dignity. “Its fine. I was starting to doze off I guess.”

“It’s a long way to drive I know, but I hope you’ll find it worth the trouble. Have you had a chance to drive around?” He asks, starting to walk along the river’s edge.

You follow, nodding, “I have. Its a lovely area. There’s a lot of space and plenty of open lots. Which one is yours?”

He grins smugly, “All of them.”

“…All of them?” You stare at him, unsure of what you just heard.

“Yep. 15 lots, situated in 3 neighborhoods.” He gives you the wide, charming mile that he usually gives before handing you a challenge. He runs his fingers through his sun streaked hair before delivering the gauntlet. “I want you to build all 3 neighborhoods.”

Your jaw drops. “You- what?”

“I want you to build up the 3 neighborhoods. A tribute to my generosity to the people of Newcrest,” He says, making a grandiose gesture towards the town center.

The sight of his ego poking its head out makes you relax. This is the DC3 you know and sometimes love. “What did you have in mind Doug?” You asks, pulling out your tablet to make notes.

“Well, Neighborhood 1 has 2 20×15 lots, 2 30×20, and 1 40×30 lot. I intend for this be for low income houses. Starter homes if you wish. Prices ranging from 13750 to 20k, with 0-2 bedrooms. 1 of the 20x15s I would like to be a community garden/ park. The 30x20s I thought would fit multiple row houses, and then maybe the 40×30 could work for an apartment building, or condos. Naturally all housing should have some kind of outdoor space, like a patio or something and landscaping.”

“All of that is feasible,” you state, taking notes feverishly.
He waits till you finish before moving on, “Neighborhood 2 has 3 30×20 lots, 1 40×20 and 1 40×30 lot. I’d like these to be medium income. Single houses on individual lots for more established families looking to move up in the world. 2 to 4 bedrooms with prices ranging from 30-50k.”

“Okay.” you say at last, “And the last neighborhood?”

“Think high income, large generational houses. There are 2 40×30 lots, 1 30×20, 1 30×30, and 1 50×40 lot. I’m thinking at least 4 bedrooms, garages, lots of high end touches. Prices will range between 150-250k. I’d like the 30×20 lot in this neighborhood to be a high class gathering spot.”

He smirks, “So what do you think?”

“I think I’m going to need help.”

“I have utter faith in you,” he says before delivering a wink, “Just don’t work my lovely Rose too hard.”

#22 Reuse and Recycle II


This Week’s Challenge Specifics:

Jade came through your office door with the look of a woman who couldn’t be more pleased with life. After the ritual small talk and a cup of coffee, she jumps into her purpose for being there. “I am incredibly impressed with how you handled the shipping container house. Everything from the design to the décor, to the selling price, was above my expectations. I’ve also received a very long and very happy letter from the purchasers about their new house.”

You smile happily, leaning back in your chair. This kind of thing makes the job worth doing.

Jade sips her coffee before continuing, “I want you to build 3 more houses with shipping containers.”

You blink and sit up, “3? Just like the first? You have more buyers already?”

“No. These are 3 more prototypes. I want each one on a different lot and each one with a different design style. They will also have a different price point. Like the first one, I’ll want you to provide the schematics and files so that we can produce them to order later.” Jade pulls a file folder out of her briefcase and hands it to you. “All the information is in there.” She drinks her coffee, waiting for you to scan the information.

When you’re done, you think for a few moments then look up, “This will be tricky to get done in 2 weeks. Can I have 3?”

“Sure.” Jade stands, putting her cup on the tray. “You have my number if you have any questions. I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with.”

“Me too,” you think, as Rose shows her out.

Build-n-Share Challenge #23

#23 Think Tiny


This Week’s Challenge Specifics:

Rushing in the office, uncharacteristically late after a very hectic night finishing up final touches on the shipping container homes, you smile gratefully at Rose as she hands you a steaming mug of English Breakfast as you rush in, headed for your desk. "The Franklins are you first appointment. They'll be here any minute."You nod as you locate their file on your desk and begin scanning it, sloshing tea in your haste. Rose hands you a towel to mop up just as the front bell chimes. "Yipes! Give me a few moments them show them in," you tell Rose, frantically trying to straighten your desk and salvage the tea-dampened file.

Rose discretely closes the door, and you hear her warmly greeting the clients and offering them tea. A few minutes later, she introduces Julie and Taylor Franklin, a young, make that very young, couple. Julie smiles shyly and takes a seat while Taylor gives you a firm handshake in greeting.

After some small talk in which you learn the young pair has been living in Taylor's parents' basement, you get down to business. The Franklins inform you that they a small inheritance from Julie's grandparents that they want to make the most of. "Mr. and Mrs. Franklin have given us a small plot of land," Julie adds, smiling at her husband who grins back at her.

"It's small, says Taylor. Just 20x15. But plenty big for the kind of house we want."

You nod as you take notes. 20x15 is small, but you've worked on lots the size before. "It's all about maximizing the space you have," you remark.

"That's exactly what we want to do," says Julie excitedly as she begins to show you pictures she has been collecting. You are momentarily taken aback, thinking you are looking at playhouses for children and not full-fledged grown-up homes.

"Why, they're tiny!" you exclaim in surprise. The Franklins grin back at you in delight, and you realize that they are part of the growing number of people who are choosing to forgo the trend of building big and opting to live in tiny homes.

"Well, this will certainly be interesting" you think to yourself as roll up your sleeves and get to work helping Julie and Taylor design their tiny dream home.

Challenge Brief:
Lot Size - 20x15
Interior floor space can be no more than 50 squares total
Budget - $30,000
Outdoor dining area
Julie likes a cottage style home while Taylor prefers more modern finishes.

Room Challenge - n/a

Sim Challenge - create the Franklins and show them enjoying their tiny space.

Please use hashtag #BnS23 for your uploads.

A reminder, if you wish to 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 29th July, Midnight CMT.

Build-n-Share Challenge #24

#24 Mr. McGregor's Farm

This Week’s Challenge Specifics:

"Your two o'clock appointment is here," Rose calls into your office after softly knocking.

Startled from your closing notes on the Franklin file, you set the file aside and stand to meet Atholl McGregor, a grizzled man dressed in coveralls with stooped shoulders. He shakes your hand with surprising firmness, however. There's still a great deal of strength in the old farmer.

"Good morning," he says gruffly. "I need a new house. The old one is overrun with rabbits, and I've had just about all I can take of it."

"Oh, well, that is a shame," you murmur somewhat taken aback by his directness.

"Ayuh. A pure shame," Mr. McGregor agrees. "There's some what thinks those little buggers is real cute, but I know different. Rabbits are devious. A real menace if you ask me."

Mr. McGregor has apparently been dealing with a different kind of rabbit than you've personally encountered. Trying to get the meeting back on track, you politely ask, "How is it that I can help you?"

"Like I said, I need a new house. I sold the old farm to this lady what's crazy about rabbits. Putter, I think her name was. Nope," he shakes his head and taps his chin in thought, "that weren't it. Potter, maybe? No matter. They're her problem now. I'm moving to Willow Creek. Bought me some land there. And I need you to build me a new house."

"We can certainly do that for you," you assure Mr. McGregor. "Are you retiring, or will you still be farming?"

"Oh, I'll still be farming," he declares with a determined gleam in his eye. "Those rabbits ain't got the best of Atholl McGregor just yet. I want this new garden to be protected though. Can't have a repeat of what went on at the old place."

"Not a problem," you assure the client, making a mental note to do a little more research on rabbits.
"Don't need a large place," he continues. "Just me and the missus now. But we do need a guest room for when the grand kids come to spend the summer. And a separate bath for them as well."

You nod as you jot down notes. "Any other requirements?"

"Well, Mrs. McGregor is none too happy with me right now," he confides. "She's a mite attached to the old place. Don't want to move at all."

You nod, certainly understanding, after having spent some time with her husband, how frustrated Mrs. McGregor might feel right now.

"She's real attached to them flower beds of hers. Just another place for rabbits to hide out if you ask me, but she's right fond of them."

"So you'd like some landscaping around the house?" you ask.

"Ayuh," he agrees. "Make it pretty for her. I think it'll go better for me in the long run that way."

You resist the urge to roll your eyes and continue to chat with Atholl for a while, getting down all the specifics. "We can have this done for you in two weeks," you tell Mr. McGregor as you escort him out of the office.

"That'll do," he says brusquely, and you return to your desk, muttering about rabbits as you go.

#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:

Download from the Gallery - BnS25 Designer Showdown (#BnS25)

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.
•You can add structural elements for landscaping purposes, such as a greenhouse, gazebo, or a carport, but they cannot be attached to the main house.
•You CAN add a cover over the back porch that is attached to house if you wish.
•You CAN change, add or delete any fencing and columns.
•This must be on a 40x30 lot (can be placed in any neighborhood/world).
•THERE IS NO BUDGET! Have fun, and go crazy :D
•The theme is completely up to you. It does not have to be Summer themed - your house should reflect your inspiration object.
•You do not need any game packs to compete. The house was built with only base game elements.
•CC is allowed, but please list/link/credit them when you submit so that downloaders can find them!

Please use hashtag #BnS25 for your uploads.

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 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

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?

“Jade! How lovely to see you!” you exclaim. Going to the grocery store is always fun for you. You run into everyone at sometime or other it seems. In this case, it's literally. “Sorry for bumping your cart,” you apologize.

“Its okay,” the woman smiles back at you with lips painted wine red. “However you have the wrong sister.”

You step back, studying her. Emerald green eyes glitter in amusement at you, a deeper warmer look than Jade’s pale green business like stare. Instead of being pulled stylishly but efficiently back from her face, the sister’s raven hair curls romantically around her face and over her shoulders. Her dress, made of a rich burgundy velvet, is casually and elegantly Gothic in style. Otherwise, she’s identical to Jade Bloodclaw.

“I’m sorry,” you say sheepishly.

“Not at all. Being identical twins, it happens all the time.” She moves her cart to the side to let someone else get by. “My name is Fire Bloodclaw.”

You shake hands with her, introducing yourself. Then a light bulb blinks on. “Fire Bloodclaw? The novelist? The one who wrote Empire of Jade?”

She laughs a throaty laugh, “The same. You’ve read it?”

“I haven’t. My assistant however raved about it. What brings you to town?”

“Change of atmosphere.” She smiles, “I was actually hoping to run into you at some point. My sister is delighted with the work you’ve done for her; and, trust me, Jade is incredibly hard to please when it comes to work.”

“Great to hear,” you smile, pleased at the compliment. You look around the store, realizing it was no place for a meeting. “Do you know Purr’s café?” you ask.

“Who doesn’t?” Fire laughs.

“Why don’t we meet there and talk about what you’re looking for?” you suggest.

“Sounds great. Give me an hour to finish shopping?”

An hour later, the two of you are settled into one of the booths at Purrsia’s place. Unsurprisingly, there is a tray of blissfully delicious tapas sitting between the two of you. Fire smiles, “I knew Purrsia when I was in college. She and her sister lived in the same house we did. She did all the cooking to help pay for her rent. It was lovely.”

You grin, “I bet you ate better than the ramen noodle diet I lived on.”

Fire laughs, “If you didn’t mind being an experiment for new recipes, yes…But the experiments didn’t always work out. Those were the nights when Tums were greatly in demand.” She smiles, “Now, on to why I was hoping to talk to you.”

“Someplace to store your Tums?” you quip, making her chuckle again.

“Not quite. I’m looking for a home of my own. I’ve been living with Jade, but her apartment really isn’t my style. She’s the penthouse apartment kind. I’m more the secluded dramatic type.”

“So what kind of house are you looking for?” You pull out your ever present note book.

“Something with a beautiful view. Private. When I lose myself in my work, I hate being distracted by petty things like time of day or last time I ate something. It needs to be soothing…and, I shamelessly admit, fairly luxurious in terms of comfort. I never know where I’ll end up writing.

I need at least 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. And if you can squeeze it in, a new computer. State of the art please. My old one fried itself this morning, and I’m using Jade’s computer…something else that is not conducive to concentration. I'll need a decent entertainment center, and, of course, a library. I love stories in all forms.”

“None of that is out of reach. Can you give me two weeks?”

“Sure. I have a book tour coming up soon anyway. Oh, and I have 75,000 saved for this build.”

“Excellent.” You reach for the check, only to have her lightly bat your hand away.

“My treat,” Fire insists.

Build-n-Share Challenge #27

#27 Ryunoten, Attorneys at Law

The intercom beeps at your desk, startling you out of concentration. “Ah, yes Rose?”

Hearing the faint quaver in your voice, Rose suppresses a giggle and chirps, “Your 4:30 is here. Shall I send them back?”

“Um, yes. Go ahead.” You manage to recover your dignity, making sure to save your work carefully, before there is a polite knock on the door. You stand up with a smile, as a man and a woman enter the room.

The woman is lovely, with a mass of coiled copper braids pinned at the back of her neck and large soft coloured eyes. Her willowy figure is clad in an lady-like business suit of sky blue. Following her in, his hand gently on the small of her back, is a handsome man that could only be described as Prince Charming with an Asian touch. His blonde hair is slightly longer than custom and his equally sleek frame is clad in a slate grey suit that compliments his companion’s.

They make a very stunning couple, an impression confirmed when he holds his hand out, “Michael Ryunoten. This is my wife Evangeline.”

You shake hands with a smile, “Its lovely to meet you. I understand that you’re both lawyers?”

Evangeline smiles, a soothing gentle smile that relaxes you even further, “Yes. Michael specializes in business law. I have been fortunate enough to be hired as the new district attorney here in town.”

"Congratulations!” you say, offering them both something to drink.

“Thank you,” she says, locking eyes with you for a few moments. With an oddly sleepy wonder, you realize that her eyes are slowly changing from one pastel colour to another.

“Jesus Wu is an old friend of mine,” Michael says, startling you out of your sleepy hypnosis, “He recommended you.”

You smile with pleasure, remembering the dashing Mr. Wu and his fire engine red GTO. “So you’re looking for a house as well?” you ask.

Evangeline shakes her head, sipping at the tea she requested in place of coffee. “Not yet, but definitely we are going to consult you about that later. We are staying at Jesus’s home and we love what you have done. For now, we are more interested in asking you to build us an office.”

“Not a problem,” You click your pen and prepare to take notes, “What would you like?”

“Two separate offices, but in the same building, as we share a legal library,” Michael says. “I’ll be taking clients there, so I’ll need a lobby and/ or reception area. Dream will be primarily working at the Courthouse, but when she’s not there she needs to have some place to work.”

“Dream?” you ask, a bit confused.

She smiles fondly at her husband, “Dream is my nickname. My maiden name was Keeper.”

“Ahhh. And what would you like in your office?”

“Oh, the usual office accoutrements. If you could include a comfortable couch and decorate it in restful colours, I would be very satisfied.”

“That’s easily accomplished,” you assure her.

Michael speaks up again, “We want to be close to the centre of town, but have a more suburban feel to it. I want people to feel comfortable and at ease coming to talk to me. Oh, parking of course, and some landscaping. I don't want it too look too sterile on the exterior. I think that’s everything. Sweetie?" he asks, deferring to his wife.

She thinks for a few moments, ticking off a few additional points on her fingertips. We need someplace a little less formal where we can entertain clients. I'd really love a rooftop retreat if you can work that in. And I think that covers everything,” she concludes with a smile.

“I do have one question we haven’t covered," you interject. What budget will I be working with for this project?”

“Well, since its not a large office we’re looking for,” Evangeline says, gently setting her tea cup on the tray, “We set aside $60,000 from our budget. Will that be sufficient?”

“Should be fine.” You rise and shake hands with them again, “I’ll get a contract emailed over to you by tomorrow night.”

Challenge Brief:
2 separate offices in the same building
Budget: 60,000
Shared library
Reception area
Parking
Suburban look but close to centre of town
Soft colours and a couch in Evangeline’s office.
Rooftop area for entertaining clients (optional room challenge)

Rooftop entertaining area. You will have an additional $8500 for this room if you take on the optional challenge.

Build-n-Share Challenge #28

#28 Techno...What?
  
This Week’s Challenge Specifics:

“Rose?” You call over the intercom, preparing to ask her a question.

“Yes it is the time you are suppose to have the meeting. No, she isn’t here yet. No she hasn’t called.” Rose says with an amused chuckle. She knows you so well.

“Oh. Well. Thanks.” Glancing at your clock, you shrug, and try to pass the waiting time with a game of solitaire. As you struggle to find a place to put that black 8, an icon flashes up on your screen.

“Tchnobabbl16 wants a chat.” you read, before looking very confused. “What?” Hesitantly, you click the accept icon. After a few minutes, during which a program you didn’t know you had updates, a window opens and a young lady smiles at you.

She has black hair liberally streaked with candy pink, matching her candy pink lipstick. Her vibrantly green eyes peer at you through candy pink frames. “Sorry I’m late for the appointment. I was hoping to get out of class in time to meet with you, but I got hit with a last minute assignment. My name is Tashira Nuvalis.” At seeing your confused expression and not getting a response she rolls her eyes and smiles again. “First time on video chat? Just speak up. Your computer has a built in microphone.”

“Right. Its nice to meet you Miss Nuvalis.” You say, struggling to regain some dignity. “What can I do for you?”

“I need a new place. I heard you’re the best, so I came to you.”

“Okay. Will it be you and your parents?” you ask diplomatically.

She sighs, as if exasperated with that question. “No. I’m emancipated. Mom and Step-dad live in Appaloosa Plains. I hate the country. Since I make enough money as a comic book author and YouTuber, I decided to beat feet. My grandmother left me 20k to get started.”

You nod, pulling out pen and paper. “What would you like?”

“An apartment in a city. At least 1 bedroom. Need the basics and a place to write and film my vlogs.” She thinks, “Downtown would be perfect if you could manage it. If it’s too expensive I don’t mind going a little further out. But no suburbs!”

“That sound doable. Any other preferences?”

“Well my favourite colour is pink and I love watching the sunset, so a balcony would be nice, but not required. I can’t think of anything else.” She says, toying with a pen. Suddenly a bell rings, making you both jump. “Crud. That’s the bell. I have to go. When would my new place be ready?”

“Give me 2 weeks.” You assure her confidently. You’ve done harder things in 2 weeks.

“Great. See ya!” The window closes, leaving you alone in your office. After jotting down some notes, you head out to tell Rose about this unusual appointment.

Build-n-Share Challenge # 29

#29 The Lady In White
  
This Week’s Challenge Specifics:

When you first met Lady Augusta Blanche, you couldn't actually swear that she walked in. Ethereal and pale, she had smiled at you in a way that was sweetly wistful. You leapt up shook her hand, surprised at how delicate it seemed to be, and how cold. Her blue eyes had almost seemed to glow they were so light and her hair was the color of weak candlelight. Only the fact that you briefly felt her pulse against your hand when you shook hers assured you that she as alive.
Now she was gone and you are tipped back in your chair, marveling at the odd assortment of people who come into your life looking for a home. And Lady Blanche was no different.

"I am looking for a graceful home, suitable for spending the rest of my eternity there. It needs to have at least 4 bedrooms, a sitting room/ music room, parlor, living room and lovely kitchen. Quality and beauty are bywords for me, so the furnishings must be top notch." She told you, elegantly positioned in the chair across from you. "Servants quarters are required. I seek a wall around the yard, which must be generous, as I am a very private person. I work primarily at night so there must be curtains at the windows in the bedroom."


All of that seemed reasonable to you, even if she would not tell you what she did for a living. What threw you was the request for a graveyard or mausoleum to be included in the back yard. Here she had turned all misty eyed and dreamy, looking like something off of the cover of a romance novel. "My beloved husband needs somewhere to rest during the day and his gravestone needs a proper setting to ensure his best sleep...."

"Your husband is...dead?" You asked cautiously, more than a little creeped out now.

"Yes, but not gone. He comes to me every night and we live in the perfect joy and love we shared before his little...indiscretion." The pretty smile she gave looked just a trifle unbalanced to you now. There was no way on earth you were going to ask what she meant by indiscretion.

You had assured her that this could all be done in a couple weeks, making her smile brilliantly before drifting from your office like a ghost. You were not sorry to see her go...

ENTRY DETAILS: I was inspired by the description of our client. Her ethereal appearance and personality and formal name seemed to scream for something high end and formal looking.

ENTRY DETAILS: I felt Lady Augusta Blanche to be a practical woman with old fashioned tastes. That's why I have included hardly any entertainment technology in the home with the exception of the office room, space is left in office for whatever secretive equipment she may need too. I wanted it to feel like a home that would stand strong against the test of time, a bit of research into historical old houses inspired me to build in Tudor Castle style with a more homely front. Somewhere that looked attractive but could hold up to unwanted visitors.

ENTRY DETAILS: I´ve inspired in Lady Augusta Blanche. I magine her full of romance and passion (this is why her bedroom is red) but delicated, elegant and distinguished in her manners. She loves music and receiving at home. So she need an elegant home with luxury but without excesses, and equiped of all she need inside and outside, such as a lovely graveyard an mausoleum for her beloved husband.
