I was blown away by the realism of the rendering, then I thought maybe Matterport works with real life images?
I’ve never seen a gas meter in the kitchen. Sort of like post war England?
Just joshing.–VERY cool work! Thanks for sharing.

You had to model all the neighbours houses too? Wow…

At first, I thought it was overkill and I was just doing it as an experiment for my own educational experience, but in the end, I was glad I did it to hit a grand slam for the approval.
Match Photo plus Place Maker for a nice collaboration of tools.

Some WIP. Constructability model using Medeek BIM tools (@medeek), but so much has to be customized.
North-South lateral resistance is trivial, but East-West is problematic…segmented shear walls (red from Medeek Wall), and a steel moment frame are needed. Simple 3 stop elevator.

Very cool modeling job. My humble opinion as soon as you put an elevator in the house “simple” got passed on by.

Absolutely impressive model, I love seeing stuff like this.
A very bespoke house. The foundation system is something else as well.
Thank-you for sharing such an impressive piece of architecture.

Wow!
I, as an architectural draftsman, who mostly worked on projects which are build with bricks and ferro concrete this is really impressive!
Thanks for sharing.

Another Match Photo case study:
Marvin Windows DC components in 3D Warehouse have been extremely helpful at times, but recently, I had a case where I cared about door hardware and there’s nothing included. Off to my local showroom, snap a picture of a sample with an iPhone, back to work with Match Photo, and with a little effort, whipped up a pretty good representation.

Agreed! That’s something I hadn’t given thought to, but would be exceptionally helpful in my line of work! Very awesome gallery!

love the use of colour and shadow in the details…
no need for line weight and viewport stacking to replicate old school drafting!

One question: What is the purpose of placing a steel frame?
1 Like
The steel moment frame is for lateral (in our case wind loading) resistance while trying to achieve a wall of windows facing the water view. It’s a classic recurring problem with waterfront and big view house designs.

Thanks for the answer. I thought so, but it seems that the stiffness of the ceilings should ensure the stability of the structure. The more so because it is a tight development, it is not a free-standing building. Well, unless it’s in the region where typhoons and tornadoes pass, and maybe it’s a legal requirement?
