The House that Jon Built

Jon · 09-03-2004, 10:42 AM

Hi there,

Decided to take a break from the Bus project (haha), and started working on a typical British house.

I know I'm showing you this in a rather early stage, but I think that it will be a better W.I.P if I do.

A bit early for C&C I think, but if you see anything terribly wrong, just let me know.

Also, please submit any ideas for the house, i.e. design of windows etc.

the proportions looks just about right, except for the windows and the door...it seems strange to me that the front door is taller than the garage door...but the house itself look good

antoine · 09-03-2004, 02:27 PM

I don't think its taller, there's something above the door, like another window

tobes · 09-03-2004, 04:53 PM

...people in brittain have enough room for a 2story house, failry wide.. with a garage?

kribz · 09-03-2004, 11:05 PM

ahh..ok..my bad...

sorry coolguy123,

what is the right construction... a warehouse or a garage??

Jon · 10-03-2004, 05:49 AM

Hi,

Thanks for all the feedback - I'm glad you think it's ok. I admit that the small window above the door is a bit too near - and it's a but hard to make it out.

tobes: yes, they do

surprisingly lol... In the countryside.
RodrigoRosa: It's supposed to be a garage... but I know it looks a bit over the top...

Anyone have any suggestions?

I will post an update in a few hours.

RodrigoRosa · 10-03-2004, 06:47 AM

so, imo, your garage is too tiny.... waiting for the updates...

cheers

Jon · 10-03-2004, 07:45 AM

Hi,

A bit early for an update I think... but here's another image. I will be adding another update in a few days.

Thanks for all of your comments!

Hello

OK, well I dont have a house like this (mines smaller), but very near me there are houses very similar to this.

However I would suggest a couple of changes:

Move the front of the garage closer or flush with the front wall of the house. ATM, you would probably not be able to shut the garage door when a car is in there.

Have a flat or peeked the other way roof on the garage. Your sloping roof dumps water on your neighbours ATM, maybe thats intentional

But seriously, you are wasting space and preventing using large windows in the side of your house, by designing it like this.

Jon · 10-03-2004, 08:55 AM

Thanks!

Thanks a lot for the feedback!

When I looked at the garage I realised that you could barely fit a bike in there, let alone a CAR!!! Anyway, I tried what you suggested, Ironbuket, to find that the garage may just make the piece look 'wrong'.. So here it is without... I can't decide... with / without... with / without... hmm...

Jon · 10-03-2004, 09:55 AM

Hi (Again)!

I am on a roll, so I think I might post YET ANOTHER image... lol...

I think it's starting to take shape now.

Ironbuket · 10-03-2004, 11:39 AM

Thats looking really good!

Just one other thing. Chimneys get bigger as you go down. If its that big on the roof its going to be huge inside the house.

Dug · 10-03-2004, 12:43 PM

Looking better.....I was worried after seeing the first image.... 8-) but its coming along nicely......I found the quality of the images comes out much better when the lighting is done better......Thats what I found with my street corner......

8-)

RodrigoRosa · 10-03-2004, 02:08 PM

imo the house is very small.... i can't imagine it with a kitchen, bathroom and ONE bedroom.....

keep working
