You take a sip of tea as you gaze out of your office window, relaxing for a minute before you start designing for a new client. But there is a brisk knock on the door before Karla immediately bursts in looking excited and a little stressed out.
"Sorry to disturb you, but they keep saying it is an emergency," she sputters. Karla is Karl's sister whom you’ve taken on as a backup assistant while Karl is taking a well deserved vacation for a few weeks. In retrospect, it may not have been your best idea ever. You make a mental note to remind her to wait for the okay to come in after knocking.
"Who is saying that? What is going on?" you ask, feeling just a little stressed yourself by Karla’s frazzled manner. Karla may be Karl’s twin, but the two couldn’t be more different.
"The..." Karla consults her notebook. "The Costello family. Anthony, Irma, Regina, Maximilian,
Roberto, and...well, the baby. " She looks up and smiles widely, as if she has done a good job.
"Perhaps it would be easiest if you just let them in." You smile back and can't help wondering what the emergency is.
The dark-haired Costello family piles through the doorway. Karla closes the door a little too hard behind them, and everyone, including you, jumps. The man is tall and thin. The woman, who is holding a sleeping baby. The girl is a lanky teenager in old, faded jeans, and you note that her eyes are glued to her cell phone, tuning out everything around her. The twin boys are clearly dressed to try to mimic their older sister’s style, but they look like they have a bit of baby fat to get rid of in order to pull it off. The baby asleep in the woman’s arms (his mother?) looks just like a little chubby angel.
"Hello, welcome!” you say, trying to put the family at ease. Please have a seat and tell me about yourselves.”
Anthony gives you a firm handshake before taking his seat. You notice gray hairs and fine wrinkles, which were not distinguishable from a distance. When you glance at Irma, you notice she has the same gray hairs and fine wrinkles of age. They’re not elders yet, but they’re not as young as you first thought. The kids all look at the floor, sad and quiet.
Irma takes a deep, breath heavy with sadness and emotion. "We are sorry to burst in on you like this, but we are having a family emergency and desperately need help right away."
Anthony, also clearly fighting back emotion, avoids your eyes for a few seconds as he begins to explain, “The rogue tornado that tore through Sunset Valley a few days ago killed our only son Chip and his wife Delilah. The children, thank goodness, escaped the worst of the storm since they were in class at the Community School for the Gifted at the time."
He shakes his head sadly and looks up at you. "So we are taking the children to raise, but our one bedroom condo in Bridgeport is just not enough space for six people."
"I am very sorry for your loss, but I do agree with you. That condo sounds very cramped," you say sympathetically. "Sounds like you need a new house, and fast."
"Well, yes and no,” he clarifies. “We have a fairly large plot of land with a vacation cabin on it in Willow Creek. It already has two tiny bedrooms - just big enough for two single beds and a dresser in each. A little bathroom, a hallway, and a family room with a small galley kitchen comprise the rest of the cabin. Great for a few days vacation, obviously, but not for constant living," Anthony relays.
Irma chimes in. "We are really hoping you could add at least two more baths, expand the current spaces, and add at least two more bedrooms. And a laundry room is vital - we’re doing laundry constantly with all these precious darlings," she says, gesturing to her new brood.
Anthony adds, "Irma is the best baker I know, so the kitchen needs plenty of counter space, please." Irma blushes a bit with pride and gives Anthony a beaming smile.
"What about style, colors, finishes?" you ask. Irma, obviously the planner of the family, hands you a piece of paper which you start to glance over.
Anthony explains, "Irma made up of a list of our must haves and likes. Our budget is only $135,000. Do you think you can make it all work?" He looks slightly anxious.
You smile reassuringly. "Definitely! We can have the house renovated to your specs in no more than two weeks. Is that soon enough?"
"We really appreciate that!" Irma says, tears welling in her eyes.
Hiding a bit of emotion of your own, you lead Anthony and Irma through the paperwork and begin planning their new family home.
The Brief:
MUST INCLUDE:
Childrens’ Preferences:

The Rindle Rose house can be found in Willow Creek- Its next to the Pancakes home..
We Have to Only Build in Oasis Springs- But any lot we choose..
Can we build down ? ( as in a basement )
Can we Build up ? ( add a second floor )
But keeping the Original House shell....
Thanks,
Diane Pinkus
The story says the family owns a plot of land in Oasis Springs with a cabin on it, wich has 3 small bedrooms amongst other rooms.
Then in the brief it says to use the Rindle house, which has 2 bedrooms, or is this not supposed to represent the cabin ? ;B
It is also in Willow creek, but you have to move it to Oasis springs, or can it stay on the lot in Willow creek?
And it says Laundry room twice in the brief, just a repeat or was one of those supposed to be another type of room?
Can you change/remove the foundation, porch, doors and windows wall height?
Can't wait to get started! veryyyy excited for a new challenge =D
Yesss!
Same inspo, both different executions
I love your build! ( your builds always look so amazing.. I'm a fan :P)
And the rainbow hearts and mailbox... I had no idea they now came in those swatches!
Wonder if i missed anything else :P

Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom.

@Pinkusfamily You can build up and down - whatever you choose!
@Devilariah I think all the bedroom numbers match in both sections now! The original is TWO bedrooms and the reno should be at least FOUR bedrooms.
And this?
Thanks for te answer, my game is in dutch and the lot names are translated/different so i just wanted to make sure i wasn't using the wrong home
I'm going to say, based on past reno challenges, Foundations: No. Porch, doors and windows, yes. Wall height: No. @BuildnShare can correct me if I'm wrong.
Also I'd say the laundry thing was a mistake.
Okay, back to WC
Yes.
Just one laundry room. You can change anything except the existing exterior walls, and those can be added to in any way you wish.. Let's keep the foundation and wall height the same (that would be difficult to change in a RL reno without huge expense). I'll update the challenge to reflect this.
