i think this might be the best one yet, john.

you definitely nailed the natural light. great job, richard.

the render is more believable than the photo.

Thanks guys.

pbacot.. its got to be squeaky clean! clients don't generally like to imagine their shiny new buildings as being dirty and beat up

richard.. i don't know the state of squash.. i'll be honest, i didn't know what squash was until recently! there is a nice private school nearby to this club which has a big squash program and use their courts currently. they are going to foot the bill for this new building.

Here's the project of the week. Designed/sketched it out on Monday and my office developed the site plan/floor plans and I took it from there and wrapped it up last night...bit of a rush job. The new pieces are the glass portion and the large building to the right. They wanted the new building to blend in and not be a focus.

thanks for posting the mesh. great job on the modelling!

Thanks guys. I'll go back and edit the people a bit.

Client loved it too.. so hopefully in a couple of months, these will be under construction.

awesome! love this sort of thing.. recreating photos.

no...you're probably right, john. i do need to take more care in that process and put some placeholders in sketchup for scale

Here are a couple of houses we designed in north philadelphia this week. Sites had some odd height restrictions..hence the one story triangular portions.

Pulled some pieces from an old project and quickly put this together to send out.

Have a great holiday and 2015 everyone!

very nice. i'm slacking on my holiday card this year since I decided to email instead of snail mail them.. need to knock it out this weekend.

These look great, Eric.

or more RAM.. that usually helps. I haven't tried the 64 bit sketchup yet, but I'm hoping that helps as well. That was a 95mb file and it ran pretty well, actually. The tables/chairs didn't cause any issues but the component for all of the vertical ropes did some damage. I had to keep that turned off alot of times.

here's a few pics of this place all finished..

Here's a couple of in progress pics of the progress..

this project spurred some ridiculous lawsuits, so i honestly have no idea if it ever even got finished.

thanks guys.. much much appreciated.

I noticed the dude on the table well after the fact.. oh well. haha.. those tables went up to 42" and he didnt get updated.

These are Thea Render and some post in PS.

I'll throw these in here since its essentially a cut/paste from this project. Just a quick concept image for a client to show around to some investors....photo and render.I couldnt get that damn texture on the ceiling/roof to rotate no matter what I did.

wow.. i dont even know where to look first. i need to take some time and study these things.

house looks damn perfect.. too perfect!
some better foreground grass in there and you'd really nail it.
