Can I get that creativity on the side, please?

so. about the feller. he can work a building like nobody's business but i guess florida a&m is not so much concerned with architecture history. being somewhat of a fanatic (and by that i mean, all my sight-seeing i've ever done in any city has revolved around architecture and design as much as i can help it), i have done my best to educate him about the great architects, architectural landmarks, and have successfully turned him on to international design (don't worry, there will be another blog soon to come dedicated to the explanation of international design--its not just design in other countries).

since architecture hasn't been rolling in projects lately, he came up with a rough idea for a one bedroom, loft-like dwelling, based on what i've taught him about international design. i'm so proud :)

now. since i'm over here just waiting for someone to put me on the task of finish selection (so i can secretly gaze at the beautiful lonely finishes that we never use in our library), i jumped on the chance for a dream side project.

slowly, when we have the time, we're adding to it. here's what its looking like so far. its really exciting to have my hands in something like this.

the order of the drawings goes: front of house, back of house, kitchen view from dining room, living room view from kitchen. i should have added a floor plan. that will come later when perfected. there's still some funky walls going on (mr. architecture will have to fix that), and adding furniture in revit is much harder than it is in autocad. you kind of have to hunt it down in hopes that someone out there has built what you're looking for.

the house is very open--lots of windows, simple. there is a 3-sided fireplace separating the living and dining room (hard to tell what it is). you can see the loft above the kitchen, although there's no railing or furniture yet.

its a work in progress--i actually haven't touched it in a while because it requires me working during lunch or after work so its not during work hours. i usually abhore staying late, but it has moved into the fun stages lately.

i'll keep updates posted! especially when i figure out rendering-ha. i'll just print it and color it myself and it will look WAY better. duh.
