Builders' Boulevard

This month's challenge is hosted by Kitkat! I am posting it here because many people are having trouble posting on TS3's forums. Entries were due last week, but it has been impossible to post them!

Challenge 10 - Starts Monday, April 4th

If you're wondering what a team building challenge is, it works like this: one team member is the builder, one is the interior designer, and one is the landscaper. You have to pass off the lot in order from builder to designer to landscaper (the order is chosen by the team). There are design parameters, of course, as in the other building challenges. The team aspect just puts a different, fun twist on things.

Challenge 10 - A Garden of Art- 1st Phase due Sunday,4/10

Customer: Sunset Valley City Council

Assignment: Art Gallery and Gardens

Preferred Style: The city council would prefer something that will blend seamlessly with the architecture in downtown Sunset Valley. You will be replacing the existing Art Gallery in the city center with a more updated building. The council feels that the existing buildig has an unfortunately dated late 70’s/early 80’s approach to modern. They would like a new modern design or, at least, a modern update to the existing architecture. In addition to a gallery building, the council wants a sculpture garden to show off some recently acquired static and water sculpture features. The council has also noticed that gallery attendance has dropped off somewhat now that there are more leisure options in Sunset Valley and the surrounding towns. The best designs will incorporate additional features to draw the interest of the community while still maintaining the integrity of the art gallery.

Lot Size & Address: 31 x 50 540 Mirabello

Budget: The council recognizes that additional art objects and other industrial features will need to be acquired in order to fulfill the contract which could be quite costly. Accordingly, a budget of $750,000 has been set for the project.

Challenge Brief - see above CC is welcomed for this challenge

Deadlines

Rules

~ The architect is responsible for all walls, windows, interior and exterior doors, and exterior siding (color of any and all may be changed by designer/landscaper to match). They can also terraform the lot as needed for building only.

~The interior designer is responsible for all interior flooring, wall covering, furnishings, appliances, and plumbing.

~The landscaper is responsible for all exterior furnishings (porches, patios, pools, etc.)and any flowers, trees,bushes, terrain paint, etc.

~You cannot change what another team member has done.

~You must submit your final lot to TS3 or a hosting site for me to download if needed.

~You must submit a slide show of your lot. Be sure to take pictures of all angles so I can see all the architectural, design, and landscaping details.

~Your lot will be primarily (99%) judged on the media (slide show) you submit. I will install your lot and look around if I have any playability or other concerns.

~Be creative and have fun

Timeline:

~ You will have 3 weeks this time.

~ Each team member has one week to complete their portion, they may go in any order. If you finish before your week is up, feel free to pass it along early. Just be sure your portion is complete no later than Sunday at 12 midnight.

~ Please include a link to pictures/media of your portion of the project with your upload link. I know pictures sound silly for architecture, but it does make it easier to see the build without the décor and landscape.

~ The final slide show can be from just the final team member, or a compilation of the entire project. It is possible and acceptable for one person to turn in all of the pictures if you prefer, just be sure to include pictures of each stage and note this when you submit each stage of the build. I believe it will help with judging to see each portion.
