Hi Shreestim
I'm not an architect so whenever I comment something, it's not the "expert eye" I'm looking at things. Nevertheless I like this one - could you post some other views as well?
-
I like it, too. I only wish I had a project that would let me borrow (i.e. steal) its good looks.

thanks guys for the comments..i appreciate... hi gaieus.....i've been looking at ur works n think that u r realy good . can you guide me with lightinga nd finishing works...my model looks dull all the time....

Hi Shreesti,
This is not dull at all but this is what SU can do - after all it's a "sketching" program (no matter how detailed a work can be made in it).
As for lighting, everyone uses external renderers let them be commercial or free softwares. See a list here.
To tell the truth I'm not good at rendering at all (I have so far used Podium eval. and Kerkythea and looked into 3D Studio a bit). There are guys around here with much greater talents and expertise than me.

hi Gaieus
thanks for the list....but there are so many of them i got confused whish one to use....hahaha.....can u name one for me thats easy to use with sketchup....and yes i've downloaded podium. the examples that i've seen is just wow....but when i tried putting the light fixtures(that i downloaded from podium)they dont illiminate and get vanish on the image.....but when i render them on a fresh sketchup page they are illluminating just fine...whats the problem ????bye

Well, shreesti, Podium is supposed to be one of the easiest and best integrated renderers. However I'm not a Podium guru so I don't know what went wrong with your model.
Another well integrated renderer (though I have never tried) is iRender but I don't know anything about that either.
Kerkythea has also a nicely integrated plugin to SU but it renders externally. It is a little bit more complicated but can result in nice images at already an early stage of the learning curve. Also, Keky is free.

Shressti,
Nice looking building, keep on posting. -
Shreesta,
Very nice concept. Clean and easy to view.
Im not a architect or designer by any means, but I can give my two cents on your image. Small things, but beauty is in the details, right?? or is that the devil is in the details?-
The curbs have been extruded, which created those non-smoothed lines on the edges. You can hide these with the 'cntrl + erase command. It smoothes them out. You can hide them with the 'shift + erase tool but it does not 'smooth' the surface.

Idea to play with. Tinker with sketchy lines. I have a great time playing with different styles and blending them in photoshop.
-
If you import this into 'Layout', you can control the thickness of your linework.
Just some ideas.
I like your work! -

I think you have shown some good skills and imagination in modelling that building.
If you can tweak a few things and work a little on presenting it then you really will be making big steps.I agree with Robert on experimenting with linework to get a different or better effect.
I personally like to export 2 images and get my lineweight right in Photoshop.
