Description: Jenga! is a new eco-friendly design brought to you exclusively from Arefa Studios.  Your favorite game of physical skill and mental clarity, which was originally created by Leslie Scott, has been brought to life in this new design.   Jenga! carefully balances old, unused shipping containers and re-purposed them into a home for any environmentally conscious Sim.  This entire home has been designed using materials found or purchased at yard sales, junkyards, thrift shops, and estate sales.  All rooms are fully furnished and usable.  Reduce your Sim's carbon footprint in this versatile home where nothing has gone to waste. 

Floor 1 - Entrance, Workshop and Laundry Room

Floor 2 - Kitchen, Living room and Dining room

Floor 3 - Master Bedroom and Bathroom

Floor 4 - Creativity Lab

Floor 5 - Gym and Second Bedroom with Bathroom


Front of House: Thanks to the four solar panels on the roof the overall cost of your bills is lowered by 0.08%!



Garden and Side yard: This is sustainable eating at its best!  Here is all of the fruits, vegetables, and herbs you could ever want.  And honey too!



Floor 1 - Workshop: The ground floor is the place where your Sim can turn anything they find into something other than what it was.  On the left, is the workshop area where all the old pieces of furniture, for this home, were brought and re-purposed into new functional pieces.



Floor 1 - Laundry Room and Finishing Area: In the foreground, is the project finishing area.  In the back of this room is the laundry area with energy saving washing machine.  There is no dryer for this eco-friendly conscious Sim!  Why waste electricity on a dryer when you have a perfectly good clothesline around back. 



Floor 2 - Living Room: A second floor living room with a beautiful view!  The lights are made from chipped plates and bowls that have been glued together.  The planters have been created using bark from a tree.  Old milk crates have been re-used to make a sofa, chair and bookcase.  To finish off the room, rusted antique wheels have been used as found art, how clever!



Floor 2 - Kitchen and Dining Room: The counter-tops are made from recycled tires.  Only the best Energy Saving appliances have been placed into this kitchen.  Love those chairs? - They've been found at the local junkyard... and table too.



Floor 3 - Bedroom: While dumpster diving, Arefa Studios found a crate of defective skateboards.  The only issue seemed to be that the skateboards were missing a wheel.  That was no problem at all - so they have been re-purposed into new end tables.  The antique mirror was purchased at an estate sale.  Having great midnight ideas?  Conveniently, there is a drafter's table for your Sim to sketch out his next amazing recycling idea or project.



Floor 4 - Creativity Lab: While scavenging an abandoned barn, Arefa Studios found a wagon wheel which has been made into a ceiling light and we also found twigs that have been used to create a small table. This area has been designed to inspire and bring out the creativity in your Sim.  If he likes to be surrounded by nature while on the computer then this is his new mini hideaway. 



Floor 5 - Gym: Why waste gas and travel to a big commercial gym?  Instead hike right upstairs and head to your own personal gym.  No electricity guzzling treadmills found here.  Only machines that require your own brute strength to operate have been placed into this eco-friendly gym.



Floor 5 - Spare Bedroom: Reduce your carbon footprint even more by sharing your space with someone else.  Whether it be a guest or a roommate, this bedroom has been designed to meet all the needs for an energy conscious Sim.  The bed frame has been fashioned out of bamboo harvested from the backyard too.



Welcome your Sim home to Jenga!  Where he can enjoy his time in this recycler's haven!
