The new Team Building Challenge on TS3 has started! New teams and participants are welcome. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here
If you’re a fan of turn-of-the century architecture, then you’re most likely already aware of the Sears houses which were available for order out of the Sears catalogue. Seriously – you could order yourENTIRE house from the Sears catalogue ! How cool is that? The house kit would arrive with pre-cut lumber, staircases, etc. via train to a station near you. All you required was a team of males (usually family members) to follow the detailed plans and put together the pre-fabulous house of your dreams.
Your task for this team challenge is to choose one of the 400+ home plans offered by Sears and bring it to life in TS3. The house plans from Sears range from cottages of several rooms to 3-story “mansions.” Pick the house plan that fits your style and run with it! The most complex plan will not necessarily be the winner - overall execution of architecture and design will be the deciding factors.
The architect should be sure to indicate which house plan was chosen in his/her entry and include a link to the floorplan from the Sears home plan website. Any house plan from 1908 to 1940 is acceptable for the challenge. The design and landscaping is up to you - you can choose to create a modern update for the design or attempt a design that would be appropriate to the floorplan’s year. Neither choice will receive more credit – again, overall execution of the design choice will be the deciding factor.
Design Brief: Choose a Sears home plan circa 1908 – 1940 Faithfully execute that home plan on an appropriate sized lot of your choosing (any rooms from the original plan that are being re-purposed for modern living need to be indicated in the architect’s media) Provide a link to the home plan, indicating year and plan name in your entry Interior design and landscaping are up to individual teams – can be vintage or modern update
