Looks kool... Design wise I would make those round windows tilt in at the bottom and out at the top... Don't want any Eric Claptonesk accidents.

@krisidious said: I like your changes... Also thanks for removing the stone flying over the window, that scared me. I would suggest extending the eave on the roof at the top about 1' or .3 meters. Also it needs a car in the drive now. Thanks for the comment Krisidious. I'm glad you like it. I will think about the car.

@jarynzlesa said: nice piece of architecture that I wouldn't expect in New Zealand. Australia has some brilliant Architects yet I know myself what I see coming from New Zealand they are becoming FAR ahead of the rest! We get a lot of NZ Architectural publications in Aust and these have become my favorite collectibles. The little beach shacks (bachs?) are some of the most well considered small spaces you will witness. @ HOLMES - mate you have achieved AWESOMENESS level. Well done mate! My only crit would be a little more DOF in some of the images, this would help to highlight your points of interest! Again inspiring stuff mate!

New to the forum, than you for your comments and suggestions. Hector

how've I missed those, usually a I'm such a stickler for clasps John

@olishea said: much better jo-ke. Why not use Pixeet as usual for the panorama? I know it's a test render but materials seem flat especially the timber, I hope you don't mind my criticism. No no, you're absolutely right. The Floor needs a bit more bump and spec. pixeet has an upload bug at the moment. I hope they are going to fix it in the next days...

Cool!

I think you nailed that presentation. Nice.

@chedda said: ...do you have a link to the model file ? http://www.peterguthrie.net/blog/category/tutorial/page/3/ At the bottom of the page.

@dave r said: Good work. It's nice to see a SketchUp model made real. +2

Not that it really matter, but take a look at the dates... This thread is back from June 2011...

@boofredlay said: Great work. Thanks

@olishea said: "acidic" is commonly used to describe colours like that. I wasn't saying the image is acidic, but rather the green. Thanks for clarifying Oli. I had not heard that before.

Excellent tip and they have an osx version !

Thanks for the comment Tinanne, i wanted some contrast in the image to give it depth. I didn't consider it dark though perhaps our screens differ.

@edenux said: Overal view is very good. But you should use different materials on walls, ceilings and cabinets. I mean white color. Now it looks, that you only placed a white color, and everything looks like made from colored plaster. And one more thing: in reality it is impossible to make perfect wall, it allways has some scratches and etc. So I recommend using plaster textures on walls, ceiling, and diffrent textures on furniture Thanks for the comments. If this were personal work, I would definitely take more consideration on the wall texture as well as the cabinets, but again, I don't have a large budget for most of these, so I usually have to make them as real as I can given the time and budget. Also, I don't have much say in the selection of materials and finishes as I'm not the one designing these. They are also being used to market projects or sell a client on a particular design so adding imperfections is something the client generally doesn't want to see.

Thanks Dave! I saw that link, but didn't realize those were the SU files. Neat project!

I think it's a good start. I have just a couple of suggestions. I know it was meant to be simplistic, but some pictures or a sculpture on the wall above the bed would be nice. It's so stark. Also, the sheets look plastic rather than comfy and something I want to crawl into to take a nap.

Jason, Go for it! David, It was quite a compliment the first time I saw your renderings and thought, "Hey, I do that!". Hee hee

Cool! Looks like it's walking away or a dog wanting to play. I guess you might want to prototype and test the sitting experience beforehand.
