House on the waterfront (WIP)
-
Hey guys,
I'm working on a new design for a house.
The house is going to be situated on a waterfront, in a new suburban area.
(building a SketchUp city)
Constuction time is about 20 min. I don't have any good textures yet.
House is a work in progress, I still need to add a lot of things. -
Thanx for your comment James.
I'm still working on the deck. Not sure if I want to add a railing though. I kinda like the idea of the freedom you have when there is no railing / barrier. -

I kinda like the idea of the freedom you have when there is no railing / barrier.If that was my house, then I wouldn't want a railing or barrier either. I'd want to enjoy the views undisturbed, not have to peer through a railing.

@juniorsenior
Yep, thats what I was thinking as well!
Got some some renders.
I lowered the top floor, think it was a bit to heigh. Added a new texture for the top floor.
Added a carport and some vegetation.
Whaddayaguysthink?

Looks pretty cool, although the ceiling of the top floor looks a bit low, might just be the perspecttive though.
The windows are pretty cool though, nice layout
-
Looking good, Ward, but I'm wondering why there isn't more glass on the second floor facing the water, to take advantage of the views. Also the overhang on that side looks like a good opportunity for a second floor deck.
-
@ Remus
The lowest point of the ceiling on the second floor is 2,30 m.
Is that ok according to today's builing standards?@ James
No children and no drunk people are allowed to loiter on the deck.
They will just fall into the water. We can't have that.@ Daniel
Thanks for your comment. I'm going to add a few more windows. -
Must just be the perspective then

I think it's too low as well. The house is a very small house. That's fine, as I've got it down as a holiday/second home in which space isn't much of an issue. But to make up for a small size I'd have ceilings higher than normal, rather than lower or normal height.
-
You might look at flipping the roof so the high spot is facing the water, making that end facing the water all glass.
-
Nice house, I'd skip the railing too; it makes one feel more free, as you put it too.
Which renderer did you use, and how did you get that water effect?
-
That last render is good. I'd go for a clear glass barrier with
minimal support structure ..... how deep is the water? -
Thanks for the comments guys!
I've flipped the roof so the heigh part is at the back, converted the back to an all glass exterior.
The water is about 1 or 2 meters deep I think, the house is situated on a lake.Here's some new render, hope you guys like them.
-
remus was saying that the up floor look a bit lower that it should be,but if u have the measurements it s ok
looks good so far but is having an aire of coldness

Thanks.
It is rendered in Kerkythea, using the water pack.
Very easy to get some nice looking water! -
Some new renders.
New lighter wood material for the top floor. Added some more windows.
Changed the front of the house.
Got a question on Kerkythea.
How can I "raise" or "lower" the horizon so it fits nicely in the scene?
I'm talking about the global sky. -
You really do need railing. Why don’t you make glass panel railing if you don’t want to obscure the view? Today’s glass paneling can be very strong.
-
I'll think about it Ridix. Thanks
Any more comments?
Can someone help me with my Kerkythea question? -
Try inserting a global hi res-sky using the sun and sky settings, midday would look good, select spherical sky and then choose the required sky image, should get you going fella
-
Great work and so fast... do you offer work online?
Yes, I wish people would briefly state what rendering process they are using and additional tips if they have any, for those of us trying to learn. Thanks for including the info!
Treat the lake like a swimming pool. The doors have special locks so egress is controlled on that side.
Need a 3d person for some of the reflection shots. (sorry Bryce)
