Update! FINALLY!

Boy this has been a long time between posts. Not that anybody logs on to read this of course but it's the principle of the thing really. Anyway, been spending more time Twittering actually. It's good fun and it's quick. Doesn't take much time out of the day to check em, update em and move on.

time for an update

i've been trying to get some time to update things on this blog. been rather difficult of late so will endeavour to try and get something worth looking at uploaded. in the meantime, check out this awesome design...

new interior render...

trying out the various options in mental ray rendering for my interior scenes now. maybe add some more realistic furniture families and of course work on the backgrounds/landscapes, but otherwise i think it's getting there. any thoughts?

the weekly top five...

i've decided to take a leaf from the creator of Penny Lane...yes, you know who you are ;-) ... and begin a weekly top five list. being that i am a building designer and all round architecture and design nut, it seems only fitting that the first top five list relates to houses. so here it is... my top five greatest examples of residential design.

number 5 : Kaufmann House, Richard Neutra

number 4: Farnsworth House, Mies van der Rohe

number 3: Taliesin West, Frank Lloyd Wright

number 2: Mirindiba House, Marcio Kogan

and the number 1 most amazing residential design...

Fallingwater, Frank Lloyd Wright

penny lane

well, it had to happen eventually. my favourite most awesomeness niece has created a blog. not just any blog though. it's an interesting, insightful, pondering, quintessential, a tad zany look into the inner musings of her mind. some artwork she's done is also featured.

i look forward with baited breath the next installment in the continuing saga that is and forever more shall be known as Penny Lane.

updated rendering technique

updated renders of a concept. have continued with the whole new rendering process and have been adjusting shadow, saturation etc. not quite life-like but i think i'm getting there.

i'm thinking...

i'm thinking it should be cut from a sheet of corten steel...
