Hello Builders:

Linden Lab is working on a neighborhood project which will require the work of some very skilled Resident builders. If you might be interested, please read on...

We are seeking 3 "1950's-style suburban community" housing designs that complement each other, and we wish to find 3 different residents to build each house.

If you'd like to participate, please submit a house that you think will fit the description (see details below). If we decide to use it, we will contact you and pay you L$5000 for your work. Please include a short name for the house, the creator(s), and any instructions we may need.

Here are the details:

STYLE:

-1950's-style suburban community house design

-Houses should not include furniture, mail boxes, lawn furniture, trees, etc.

SIZING:

-About 50 prims for the house, including walls, roof, doors, foundation, floors, etc.

-Houses should be one story, though there may be an attic, loft, dormer windows, turrets, etc.

-The houses should have only two or three rooms each.

-Important rooms should be at least 10m2, for good avatar point-of-view/camera sight. (If the room is smaller, the "non-mouselook" view will place your vision outside of the room.)

-The actual "footprint" or foundation (not including front steps, chimneys, bay windows, etc) will be 14 meters wide and 14 meters deep. Houses don't have to be rectangular, but would be about 2100 square feet if they were.

-Contextual note: Each Homeowner Parcel will be 20 meters wide along the front edge, and 24 meters deep (plus a small extension in the back to make up the 512 square meters). The long sides may border a cross street, another Homeowner Parcel, or open (Linden-owned) space. House fronts will be placed 6 meters from the parcel front edge and sides will be placed 3 meters from the parcel edge.

SUBMISSION:

-Deadline: Monday, October 24th at 5 PM PST. (CHANGED TO OCT. 25TH AT 5PM)

-Linden Lab may modify color, size, etc. to ensure a good fit

-Offer inventory to Lauren Linden in Second Life to be considered.

-Homes will be transferable and modifiable, but not copy-able (except by Linden Lab for initial distribution).
