thanks Splitlid

I want to have a play with house 30 so I will see what I can do with sketchup

splitlid · 17-03-2009, 10:16 PM

ok, danblack, i will start on your model now,if you do get some more details then please pass them on.
heres a new render of a ship.lots of photoshop, not many house designs at the moment, looking for inspiration, if anyone knows where to find some let me know.

Those virtual houses look great!

Can you picture some table and chairs, sofas, a TV... I mean a real thing, to be placed in it... The answer is probably yes as you fotoshop, can you show a sample of that mix ?
Virtual house and real picture furniture, bbq, car, whatever...

splitlid · 18-03-2009, 12:19 AM

can, heres a quickie, about 10 mins work, mostly finding a bbq, sofa and tv

could be better but more time required

splitlid · 18-03-2009, 11:31 AM

hi danblack, heres your model ready to go and be changed, its pretty much the same as your sketchup model. what do you want to change now?
ignore the colours, thats for my reference.

danblack · 19-03-2009, 10:37 AM

That's great Splitlid
This may be your biggest challenge yet.
For a start I would like stairs from the back of the house (road side) down to a dock in the water. with a door leading into the lower level on the way. A small dock parallel to the retaining wall. Retaining wall about 1m. high, and a small speed boat tied up to dock.
I do not like the look of the roof and could use any suggestions for this (and anything else). I do want the front deck covered without taking away from the distant mountain view.
Maybe a car in the driveway and a few more windows
I assume the landscaping part will come later.
Do your magic

splitlid · 19-03-2009, 02:55 PM

hows this roof, sloping towards the road.

splitlid · 19-03-2009, 03:12 PM

stairs and wall.
is this what you meant?

splitlid · 19-03-2009, 03:55 PM

better windows and doors.
decking supports.
roof extension.
retaining wall higher.

splitlid · 19-03-2009, 08:01 PM

heres a start

Marmite the Dog · 20-03-2009, 10:41 AM

The klong looks a bit narrow now.

Actually, the place looks really good. Nice work again, Splitlid.

splitlid · 20-03-2009, 10:52 AM

yep, well spotted marmite,
am waiting for a render to finish with wider klong, should be about 5 mins.

splitlid · 20-03-2009, 10:57 AM

here ya go

splitlid · 20-03-2009, 11:00 AM

^^^sure mate no worries, just give some time as im a bit busy at the moment with w0rk.
post what you want and remind me in a week.

if you dont see anything.

Marmite the Dog · 20-03-2009, 10:55 AM

Do you remember the rendering you did for me? I've added another bedroom and I'm going to change the roof a wee bit. Do you fancy having another crack at it?

danblack · 20-03-2009, 10:59 AM

I see I have some new neighbours
How about this roof

For point of reference the upper deck will be about 8ft wide
I now see it is a good idea to have about 1m of it sticking out from the house to protect the lower windows
I am not to keen on the wall beside the stairs
The dock looks nice, but due to building codes it can not look permenant
If the house is to be built straight up from the retaining wall (an other code says it is supposed to be back a certain amount, but at this point I am assuming there will be a way around it) The house will be at least 1m+ higher than high tide. I am thinking of a small floating dock, but at low tide it could be as much as 4m lower than the top of the wall, and I have not thought of a way to easily get down to it. Maybe if I see the dock in, I will be able to figure something out.

thats the problem with the deck, if its a floating pontoon then you may have a nasty fall when you go to walk onto it.

danblack · 20-03-2009, 11:02 AM

The river is about 30m wide, with a mangrove forest on the other side
