      Its been a long time since I posted here, been very busy with work.
      But here are some photos of my first design I created that is being constructed.
      Sorry for the bad photos they were taking with my cellphone πŸ˜„

      I would like to give a special thanks to TIG, Cotty, and Pilou, because in 2014 I came to sketchUcation.com to ask for help on how to create organic curvy roof shapes in sketchUP, all three of them responded offering me solutions that helped me reach my goal, so this house and my new career is impart because of their willingness to help.

      Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

      Thanks also to all of you that have liked my work and even those that have been critical of it, because its both criticism and admiration that pushed me to refine my work and to study harder, Thank you!

          Looks great! Architecture here really "feels the place". Great SketchUp model too. I'm eager to see how it looks in the end.

              First Home and you're going Lautner style. You must like a challenge πŸ˜„
              Great work and cudoz for the client who's up for something out of the ordinary.

                  WOW mate! You must be so proud to see your design as particularly sculptural coming to life.

                  Seriously well done! I hope you update the thread as they get all the detailed stuff installed!!

                        As others have said, very impressive.

                        Is this the Newport Beach house? Have not been there for many years now but would be neat to see this when finished.

                          Pretty wild design for a first build! (and I mean that in a good way)

                          Congrats on a great accomplishment.

                              Hello ntxdave thanks for the kind words.

                              This is not the Newport Beach house, this house is being built in Palm Springs, CA

                              The Newport Beach house is just in concept phase as we work with a potential client to see if they would want to work with us.

                                Looked very similar in design so I thought maybe it was the same home although the terrain (background) did not look anything like I remember from that area.
                                As I, and others said, very nice work and very interesting to see photos as it is being built.

                                  Thanks I love John Lautner's work, he's one of the Architects that I am inspired by, along with Architect/Designer Guy Dreier. I think he is the best at the ultra modern style.

                                    I remember thinking to myself when i first saw your model posted...(cooool, but no way is this thing getting built...)

                                    Just goes to show what I know...

                                    Outstanding! very, very, cool! Congratulations.

                                        Thanks Paul.

                                        I have to say coming from the inner city of Chicago, I didn't know houses could be anything other than what we normally see, mostly minimal and gable roof type structures, then as I got more into architecture I found out about Architect Guy Dreier and started to see that a home can be a lot more creative and unique and that excited me very much.

                                        I got a blessing to work for a developer that pushes uniquely interesting shaped homes, and that's what the people want that come to us.

                                        Thanks again.

                                        Check out Guy Dreier Designs.com
                                        You will see way better than what I have done for sure. πŸ˜„
