More.

Really stunning piece of work, more realism than I have seen for a long time.

If there is anything cruel in the world, my vote goes to the educators and food (sprouts, yuck) fanatics who tried to force kids into eating their foul product raw with chocolate covering. Evil slimy children of satan, or his brother Cameron.........

interesting site but I would like to see the pictures larger, I cannot see any more than postage stamp size at the moment and there seems no way to expand them. Clicking does make them a little larger than start but not enough for detail. IE 11 here.

Plans, Ground floor on right and first floor on the left.

Rethinking the layout and it has gone from 20'2 to 20'3. A different take on en-suite which I would appreciate feedback on if possible. The use of an open plan shower and sink arrangement reduces the footprint reduction of the room with less internal wall.

the white objects on the left are placebo cod and wardrobe and vertical blinds also reduce infringement on usable space. Funnily enough another little gain is the increase in windows to improve light ingress into the bedroom space which imho improves the feel of the shared space. The green hued wall next to the wardrobe is a toilet (enclosed with a door too). Render as ever with renditioner pro v3.

Cat returned this morning after a confrontation with a neighbour, not going into details but their cat spends most of its time in our garden. Vengence etc.

After days of running around the area until 10pm I am going to be looking at layouts with reference to Richards helpful comments. I am not sure I can get in to the 20'2 though. We shall have to see.

Sorry I went on a bit about Ellie the cat.

You the man John, stunning and a great inspiration.

She is just a very pale grey with the white blaze and feet. I reckon she is just an average moggie otherwise, no particular breed.

Thanks for the advice and education, I am thinking like an amateur too much and will realign the direction a bit. No sign of the cat, she is old and a little demented, as in senile I think. Not looking good.

A very nice scene, happy with it so far?

Interior shot with smaller sofa.

Better sofa.

Thanks Richard, Sorry I was so slow replying, we have an old and slightly senile cat gone missing and I have been out a lot looking for her.

I agree on the seating and dining area but the whole ethos behind this was a home for one university graduate with a short term dual residency. No allowance for kids at all so something temporary prior to embarking on a family home. The sofa is way oversize for the property and if the was a standard two seater there would be room to get around it to the dining area. The table would probably do for four so a meal with friends would not be out of the question and there is the possibility of a sofa bed for alcohol based emergencies. If I had not given myself such strict size rules There would also be the potential to offset the tv/dining area too so perhaps I was being a little too rigid.

Thanks for taking the time to consider and comment, being an amateur I have to learn with every oppertunity I can get.

I hope the views I added come across OK, I tend to have the wall exteriors as a seperate group so any textures are more likely to be consistent.

Your ART is atmospheric and emotive. Worthy of consideration with or without sketchup content, thanks for sharing.

It might be a useful added extra income for the site, not for me personally but those profesionals who do use the site might benefit as well as the site finances.

Thanks for the explanation, much appreciated. My problem is that I see the proliferation of 'magnetic or electronic' money as a potential minefield should the recovering financial market go south again due to the rampant greed of financiers, bitcoin could become a scapegoat and may even be a source of current money laundering acitivities. All this will leave govenment and banking execs using is as a sacrificial lamb/scapegoat. Frightening when you think about it. Just take a look at how various nations are treating the so called recovery of housing markets.......

Nice, what are you using for renders?

Not sure about the sketchucation guys but the lack of response here would suggest bitcoin is not as safe or universally accepted as some would like. Honestly, what is the point of bicoin apart from the vested interest of those who set it up?

Thanks Rich.
