This is the Summit - which is an Adult Activity Center...over 50 Recreation Facility...
Again with SketchUp and Kerkythea
And built image.
-
You have some really nice work Antoine. Keep posting
-
Thanks Eric.
I know that is not my best SketchUp renderings, was my learning stepping stone to Kerkythea. Hopefully I can redeem myself with the Court House I will be posting next...just on a deadline and couldn't touch it at lunch.
-
Wow! Nice.
Yes. Please post more.

Bryan~Texas, if you were in Bryan, Texas...hope you never have to visit our Project there...Bryan Justice Center
I started working right when they were finished designing the exterior so I did some work on visualizing the interior...but that was pre-SketchUp (3dViz).
-
Antoine,
Some cool projects y'all have going, hope to see some more current projects soon.
-
Jeez, it's true when they say everything is big in Texas. Not just the hats! Great stuff Antoine. Where's the Thea output?

Hence my response above, looking forward to seeing some Thea works from you.

Rockwall County Court House - Currently under construction...
This one tested our design patience. Started design in early 2009 (March 2009) Over the course of this project in Schematics we probably went through 25-50 design iterations, some were really completely different from other.
We fought the Modern vs. Classical battle on this one and lost to Traditional...but detailed it in a modern way.
The following is a taste of the designs/models we produced for this project.
-
There was even a tower version that just didn't make the cut.
This is where the plan landed (was extremely revised)
-
Very clean modeling Antoine, great stuff.
-
I am posting these chronological order...so are you ready for a roller coaster ride?! We weren't!
-
Thanks Pete!
Here we enter into the final design that we tweaked and tweaked until it became what is under construction.
Sketchup/Kerkythea/Twilight
-
The rest were all modeled in SketchUp (with some Revit core parts) and rendered with Twilight.
-
And here are some of the final images of the interior done with Thea - imported from Twilight and just rendered, haven't gotten into tweaking anything in Thea yet.
-
Wow, those last few look amazing. Just wait until you "tweak" it huah...?
Great! -
I did a competition for Rockwall's Memorial - since I had an idea while designing the building, figured it was worth the time to enter the competition myself.
Sketchup, Twilight and Photoshop...
-
Great images and impressive body of work.
Too bad the client opted for the Greek temple look, but you guys handled it well. The interiors are very well done.Some of your earlier studies would have been more relevant to 2010. Is this building in a historic area that prompted their need for the 2000 year old look?
-
Another competition - that I'm sure a few people from here might have entered.
Who's Next - about 98% of the images were done with SketchUp in that competition.
SketchUp, Twilight and PhotoShop. (have you started to understand why I don't spend a lot of time on SketchUcation too busy taking on these damn competitions)

They already had in their mind their historic 1800's stone court house.
http://www.txgenweb4.org/txrockwall/Court/court.htm (3rd Court House)
I even like their existing historical 40's court house, though it looks like it should have been built in the 30's. But they felt they needed "arches" - which we were able to minimize.
We went to really historical and the Pantheon for the original proportions for the portico, though through the process it got adjusted to meet the buildings design needs.
Also, we really wanted to treat the historical features as "relics" and have a nice glossy modern glass box and modern building everywhere the relic of the columns, portico and rotunda were not.To answer the questions specifically...the old Court House still exists in the square and the land wasn't large enough for a modern building. They have several annexes of the courts right now and the desire was to get everything into one complex with the ability to expand in the future (3rd floor is all shell for future courtrooms). The new site sits right off a major interstate and is part of a complex including an existing library and future city buildings.
