      another update: here is a blueprint version of the building. for those of you who don´t know those tutorials already (some of the best i´ve ever seen online) checkout this link http://www.alexhogrefe.com/tutorials/

      and another one following the daylight tutorial from the link mentioned above - not the best model for it but you can guess that this is a powerful technique.

          modelhead: thy! i read the "circle" post aswell. funny i always thought it´s exactly the other way around. i haven´t been able to find any tool on the market that comes close to the speed and flexibility for architectural modeling. preferences are different i guess?

          rombout: cool you like it. thea is on top of my list. it looks great. on the other hand i want to take some time to evaluate the vast multitude of engines on the market at the moment before i invest in my "new tool".

            I the shot of the center of the house with all the spines or ridges flowing out to the ends of the leaves. The one question I have is about the extended roof section over the patio. It kind of threw me off and was wondering what the purpose of it was? I like it but was wondering what your thinking behind it was? Was it to extend the patio out further while still retaining the roof symmetry?

              well, i can only guess on this one as (i mentioned in the first post) i tried to get as close to the original building as possible. i would say its kind of a sun/rain protection for the part below. the same metal panel material is also used on the other sides overlapping double roof section.

              if you like to know more about the house and understand some french you can have a look at this video with the architect: http://vimeo.com/23444194

                          sorry, it's buried somewhere in the infinite black hole that's called my backup discs.

                            hey castromann, it's an amazing job you have done here. It is truly amazing. i can't imagine the time you must have spent trying to master this piece of art. Any ways i have a slight issue concerning the proportion of the entrance and the back veranda. In your render of the structural support,you made the entrance a bit smaller than the exit which in the real case in totally opposite. But other than that it is truly a great masterpiece. And finally i could really appriciate it if you could find me the 3d file either in sketch up, podium, revit or any other preferable designing software. I am an architecture student and it is one of my favorite projects. if not could you please recommend me to some one who has it please. please e-mail me at delinadaniel123@gmail.com
                            Thank you for your support in advance.
