CREDIT FOR CC/RECOLORS: No CC art from the gallery
Entry details: Large three story home that can sleep 14--includes playroom, nursery, study, family and living room, dining, kitchen, party place, fun slide and children's movie place, bunkroom, teen room, and gorgeous main bedroom with many balcony areas, plus a pool and dock!
@BuildnShare When I try to upload to the gallery, I get a warning that the file size of the item is too large to be uploaded. I'm assuming I should just delete NoCC paintings until I get below the limit? Let me know if something else would be better.
ENTRY DETAILS: The Lodge is a massive house with nine bedrooms that can sleep up to 28 sims, making it the perfect location for not only Mr. Luigi Popa's close family, but extended family and friends as well. Since it can be challenging to find renters for such a large property, part of the house is set up so that it can be closed off and rented out as a smaller space for a family of up to five. This allows for part of the house to be rented out even when Mr. Popa and some of his family are staying on the property. When more people are visiting, however, Mr. Popa can simply unlock and open the connecting doors. The space can be comfortably used year-round and would be an ideal location to celebrate Winterfest if the family wants to.
The outside of the house is done in more of a cabin style, while the interior is a mix of cabin and coastal, matching the house's location in between the ocean and the forest. Since there was already a very large (and fancy) driveway leading to the property, this was left untouched and no additional parking was added.
Builder's notes: I envisioned Luigi Popa and his wife as an older couple with no kids of their own, but a very large extended family. Between all their siblings and cousins and niblings, they definitely need a lot of space and the number of people staying in the house is never constant. I knew I wanted to build on the ocean and, being a New England girl myself, Brindleton Bay was the obvious choice for me. I initially started on the 64x64 Hound’s Head lot for the ocean view and private beach, but when that proved to be larger than I needed, I swapped to Chateau Frise for a similar lot with a smaller footprint. I love that all the empty land around the house makes the property feels much bigger than just the buildable lot.
All NoCC art was removed for the gallery upload (I couldn't get it upload at all until I did that).
CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: Yes please!

The man who enters your office is dressed casually in a t-shirt, jeans and work boots, but still manages to project an air of confidence and authority. He holds out his hand for a shake. “Hello. I’m Abel Walker from the Homes for Everyone Foundation. I was referred here by the folks at the Hawthorne Project.”
“Oh yes, I’ve been expecting you,” You reply. “How can I help?”
“Let me start by explaining - my company helps disabled people build new homes suited to their needs or adapt existing ones. We’ve helped veterans, accident victims, families with children who have mobility issues, adults who grew up with chronic conditions - you name it.”
“That sounds very admirable.”
Mr Walker nods. “I have three clients who need help right now. We could use another architect to help us keep up with the demand, and I was hoping you’d be that person.”
“Of course. Tell me about your clients. We’ll have them in their new places by the end of the month.”
“Just in time for Disability Awareness Month,” Mr. Walker notes. “Here’s all the information… “
Client 1: Johannes Peura, age 70, retired: Mr. Peura walks with a cane and has difficulty navigating stairs. He would prefer his home to be all on one level. He also has arthritis and would prefer to avoid knobs whenever possible. Sinks, doors and cabinets should have levels or handles he can easily pull or push. He is also going blind and needs his home to be brightly lit without being too bright. Big windows are ideal to help keep electricity bills low. Rounded edges where possible will help prevent injury.
Client 2: Jared and Maya Hong: Maya has been confined to a wheelchair her entire life and cannot walk. She would prefer an open floor plan with wide hallways and doorways to make it easier to maneuver. Rugs should be kept to a minimum and taped or tacked down so they won’t catch on the wheels of her chair. A shower she can easily get into and out of is a must. Light switches should be low enough to be easily reached from a seated position. Her front steps need to be replaced with a ramp. Jared and Maya have 4 children, and Maya would like to be able to move easily around their rooms.
Client 3: The Kaur family: 9 year old Delshad Kaur was injured in a skiing accident Delshad can stand for brief periods but cannot walk. Parents Gobind and Mahinder want to move their child’s bedroom to the first floor and add an attached bath so Delshad won’t have so fr to go to get to the bathroom. They need lots of storage space throughout the house so nothing is left out that can be stepped on or tripped over. Delshad also needs a desk and computer in the bedroom for studying. Provide plenty of activities Delshad can do while seated.
The Brief: Pick one of the three families to build for. Make sure to meet all of the client’s unique needs. You can makeover an existing house or build new, just let us know which option you chose.
Budget: $130,000
All houses need a kitchen, dining room, living room, at least two bathrooms, and enough bedrooms for all family members.
Remember to landscape.
You can use terrain tools and paint to create ramps as needed.
If you’re building a two-story home for the Kaurs or Hongs, you’re welcome to either use cc elevators or designate a 2x2 room with a door as an elevator on each floor.
The Sim Challenge: Create your client(s) You can pick their traits, likes, dislikes, aspirations, and any custom gender settings. Delshad can be either a boy or a girl.You can create more relatives for Mr. Phillips or the Kaurs. You may want to use cc for wheelchairs, knee braces, etc. Here is one good source, there may be others if you search: Custom Content for Sims with disabilities – Katverse

Show them enjoying their new homes.
The room challenge: Create the living room for your chosen client; Budget; $15,000
Remember to include the hashtag #bns177 with your build or it will not be judged! Entries are due by Saturday, 30th September, 2023, 23:5:59 New York Time/EST.
My entry for the BNS176 is unfortunately very late - there were some unexpected things occurring plus there were some technical issues with imgur in my case too (as others had experienced issues with imgur), but if it would be possible that my entry would still be considered for the challenge, that would be awesome, but if it's not, I totally understand - in that case my entry is just for fun (and I did have a lot of fun doing this build

Komorebi, surrounded by trees and mountains and there is also that awesome water view which was wished for by Mr. Popa and his family. The vacation home has everything that the family requested, and there are also plenty of fun activities for all ages. There are six bedrooms. Five of the bedrooms are located on the second floor. One bedroom is a nursery for a baby/infant, another bedroom is a room for toddlers with two toddler beds. There is also the requested bunk bed room which has four bunk beds. There are two bedrooms with a double bed in each room. The master bedroom is on the third floor: there is a double bed. Additionally there is a pull out couch on the third floor office/study area. Here sleeps up to 19 sims (1 baby/infant, 2 toddlers). There are six full baths and two half baths - the bedrooms with double beds have their own bathrooms attached to them. There are many terraces and balconies, where the family can relax and enjoy the wonderful views - and the views definitely are the wow factor in this case: what a great location for a vacation home, where you can truly relax and "charge your batteries" mentally and physically.

CHALLENGE #177 - A Home for Everyone FORUM ID: AlJay ORIGIN ID:AlJay2000 LEVEL: Just For Fun SIMS 4 LOT NAME: Glimmerbrook Watch NEW LOT LINK:A Scandinavian Retirement LOT COST: $2500.00 GALLERY COST: $78,572.00 TOTAL COST:$81,072.00 LINK TO ENTRY SLIDESHOW:BnS #177 - A home For Everyone ENTRY DETAILS: I have chosen to build a home for Mr. Peura. The home is a Scandinavian style design, using neutral colors. I have mindfully kept this home well underbudget as I wanted to allow enough money for Mr. Peura to hire a live in caregiver to help with his daily needs. The second level of the home is especially for the caregiver and he should have no need to use the stairs. The home has contrasting colors around the doors and furniture to allow for easier navigation as well as rounded or soft corners on the cabinets and furniture. Their are levers on the doors and cabinets as well as open shelving to make it easier to access items. I have added a special toilet that he can talk to and a walk in shower with seating, as I figured that would be easier to use than a tub. Mr. Peura loves to garden, so I gave him a yard full of plants to enjoy as well as a hot spring to help heal his joints and a few activities around the yard for the grandkids to enjoy when they visit. The home has many windows to add extra light as well as a skylight in the kitchen and dining room. It uses solar power and also has a water collection system. This cuts down his taxes by around $1000 every billing period and helps the environment as well.

I built this in a mid-century modern style to fit Mr Peura’s preference for a one-storey house and big windows. Since Mr Peura is going blind, I used bright colours to help make it easier for him to navigate around his house. I also added a hand railing near the bathtubs to help Mr Peura get in and out of them more easily.

ENTRY DETAILS: This spacious, cabin themed vacation home is located in a beautiful lot in Mt. Komorebi, surrounded by trees and mountains and there is also that awesome water view which was wished for by Mr. Popa and his family. The vacation home has everything that the family requested, and there are also plenty of fun activities for all ages. There are six bedrooms. Five of the bedrooms are located on the second floor. One bedroom is a nursery for a baby/infant, another bedroom is a room for toddlers with two toddler beds. There is also the requested bunk bed room which has four bunk beds. There are two bedrooms with a double bed in each room. The master bedroom is on the third floor: there is a double bed. Additionally there is a pull out couch on the third floor office/study area. Here sleeps up to 19 sims (1 baby/infant, 2 toddlers). There are six full baths and two half baths - the bedrooms with double beds have their own bathrooms attached to them. There are many terraces and balconies, where the family can relax and enjoy the wonderful views - and the views definitely are the wow factor in this case: what a great location for a vacation home, where you can truly relax and "charge your batteries" mentally and physically.

LINK TO ENTRY SLIDESHOW: BnS #177 - A home For Everyone
ENTRY DETAILS: I have chosen to build a home for Mr. Peura. The home is a Scandinavian style design, using neutral colors. I have mindfully kept this home well underbudget as I wanted to allow enough money for Mr. Peura to hire a live in caregiver to help with his daily needs. The second level of the home is especially for the caregiver and he should have no need to use the stairs. The home has contrasting colors around the doors and furniture to allow for easier navigation as well as rounded or soft corners on the cabinets and furniture. Their are levers on the doors and cabinets as well as open shelving to make it easier to access items. I have added a special toilet that he can talk to and a walk in shower with seating, as I figured that would be easier to use than a tub. Mr. Peura loves to garden, so I gave him a yard full of plants to enjoy as well as a hot spring to help heal his joints and a few activities around the yard for the grandkids to enjoy when they visit. The home has many windows to add extra light as well as a skylight in the kitchen and dining room. It uses solar power and also has a water collection system. This cuts down his taxes by around $1000 every billing period and helps the environment as well.
*Note-The gallery has the wrong hashtag so I might upload the lot again later

ENTRY DETAILS:
I built this in a mid-century modern style to fit Mr Peura’s preference for a one-storey house and big windows. Since Mr Peura is going blind, I used bright colours to help make it easier for him to navigate around his house. I also added a hand railing near the bathtubs to help Mr Peura get in and out of them more easily.
