@gd3design said: Very cool design. I have to close this window before my wife sees....I'm afraid if she sees she'll make me build it... Thank you!

Nice clean design.

Thank you for all the "likes"

Good design and modeling!

@l i am said: Nice work mate The Rockets on the wall look like they were the inspiration behind the Juicer by Philippe Starck So true! my all time favorite kitchen tool/work of art.

@mike amos said: Nice, I like, a lot. Thank you Mike, it was fun designing it.

@serrot said: @daniel said: @serrot said: @ntxdave said: Very interesting use of a limited amount of property space. Thank you Daniel, I owe it to your teachings oh great one. not only is there a need for privacy but the wall on the right of the house needs to be a sound barrier, the neighbor has several dogs that yap day and night. I've a few neighbors like that - their dogs bark constantly the minute they see me or anyone else, and they don't stop! Your house also reminds me of the very first project in architecture school (also a house) which was on a lot bounded on three sides by 10' walls - the professor didn't want us to worry about context. I turned mine into a giant aquarium with part of the house under water. "great one" - I like that.

@serrot said: what am I doing wrong? Did you read what I wrote? In SU2016 and earlier versions you could turn off hardware acceleration which would make the CPU do the rendering. With SU2017, that is no longer an option. The rendering is done by the GPU. That means the GPU must be sufficient. Again, what graphics card? What driver version? There have also been many user reports of delays related to some files Microsoft pushed in automatic updates. Removing those fixed the problem. First, make sure your graphics drivers are up to date and that your graphics card can support OpenGL 3.0 or higher.

@daniel said: @serrot said: @daniel said: Impressive. Most impressive. Obi-Wan has taught you well. I'm not convinced of the dining room/murphy bed room. Not sure it will work logistically, and tucking the dining room back within an enclosed room is counter to the Usonian house concept. Hey Daniel, so glad to get a note from you, the reason for the multi purpose room comes from the way my sister( the client ) uses her spare room now, it is primarily intended as a guest room but would be used as a dinning room only during the Christmas holidays. Well, that's a new one. I once designed a home for client that had a formal dining room, but no living room, but did have an alcove for the Christmas tree (complete with fireplace - ya gotta hang those stocking some place). Did your sister like the design? LOL...a bottom less pit, what a great idea!! My sister liked it very much but initially had a problem with the design because of the stair, she was looking at the floor plan with her I phone and did not see the elevator.

Looking good!

The idea behind the shower and the toilet room is to be able to have two people shower at the same time, it also has to do with the number of people the guest rooms can accommodate since each one can hold two full size beds. I can see how it would be more convenient to have the bathroom in a location other than the end of the hall. On the Cor ten steel, I thought i had read something where it talks about a process were the metal surface can be sealed, but i could be wrong about that. Thanks for the heads up on the front gate overheating, Oh you asked about the location, outside Palm Springs comes to mind. Thanks for your input Daniel, always appreciated.

@bryan k said: Classic. Will you eventually do renders? Would love to see some. At the moment no plans to do a render but thanks for asking.

LOL...Got it, never heard it called that before at least not in California or in Saint Petersburg Fl.

@richard said: Maybe put up your changes mate! BTW a plan is always a help to determine the workability of your solution! And not one of those ghastly 3D ones, urrrr! Nah, once I posted I released it to its owner Daniel, it's time now to move on to the next design exercise.

Thank you all for the comments.

@daniel said: Looking great, Hector. (and still working on your project) Daniel, you're alive!!!...thank you, it was surprisingly difficult to do a compact plan but I used the disciplines I have learned from you.

@daniel said: I'm game Great, I will send you a message so we can start.
