Hello Builders!
Spring has sprung in many parts of the world, and what better way to celebrate than with a building competition that includes a garden springing into life?
Mark your calendars for the weekend of May 16, 17, and 18th. You will start at 8am SLT on Friday the 16th, and stop at 6pm SLT on the 18th. I'm so excited to see what you all build!!
May's challenge is Cotswald Cottage Architecture. These Hansel and Gretel-like storybook homes will charm your socks off with their winsome exteriors, quaint interiors, and overflowing gardens!
Along with the standard building criteria listed in the general rules, your build will be scored on how many of these you include in your design:
★ an asymmetrical design
★ a sloping, uneven roof with very steep cross gables
★ stucco siding
★ casement windows with several small panes
★ a prominent stone chimney
★ small dormer windows
★ low doorways, some of which are arched
★ an English Cottage Garden
The interiors of these cottages are small with irregularly-shaped rooms, and rooms on the upper floor often have sloped walls.
