@L-i-am Don’t be discouraged. Started mine today. It’s quite the challenge. Hard to make out all the details in places. Think it’s going to take me a while.
Heres a parallel view of the entire model.I had to reduce the size of the original image to 1600 wide but I have attached a cropped version of the original size.

The lights are nothing specific. The bulb type/fine details of the downlights are not really a concern of mine.
They're based on the #19 IES file shown here...that's about as specific as I can get.

Quite rich--a lot of work. The bar, the sofa (I'd like to go to that place). Great atmosphere created!
Yeah, I'd like to go to that place as well.
Great job!

Really nice render...!
The only thing giving this away is the repeating pattern in the stone texture...
I'm sure a better texture would help a lot...
Question... How have you managed to get the weathered look on the concrete...?
Thank you Frederik
The diffuse map for stone was small image that i downloaded from a site that sells this materials. I edited the imaje to make it larger and seamless as far as possible in PS.
Nothing special for concrete. Just difuse map and some touches in PS like a dirt map and shadows.

Very nice. Not too sure about the boards extending over the roof of the garage: those boards aren't going to be weather tight, so there would have to be a primary roof underneath, yet the boards would have to be attached to it somehow. Looks like a long-term maintenance problem.
Build Rome ?
Build Versailles ?
