As far as McMansions go, that is quite good. The interior is stunning and the outside pool building is very well designed.

Please explain exactly how this is a 'McMansion'?

Why do you only focus on the negative?

that's no mcmansion, that's a genuine estate, it's not tacky, or ovedone, it's simple and elegant and is low impact, also a Mcmansion is meant to be seen, this one looks to be nestled in with the surrounding countryside, probably at the end of a driveway and behind a gate

Edit: I also like the slight art deco influence on the doors and windows, especially in the media room

Sorry, its not a McMansion.

I love the first house Plinko! When I'm ready for a new house, I should contact you about designing it. (It would have to be half this size though) I love the windows in the first house. Those are amazing. I'm always attracted to the windows first. The Victorian design reminds me of Biltmore Village, which I love! The kitchen, those doors, the flooring choices, I don't know where to start in telling you how beautiful it is.

[Swinefeld]

Really nice, Plinko. Beautiful photographs too. Taken by you?

[Illithid Dude]

I love the wood cladding, Plinko. Really great stuff.

Am I allowed to post renovations of mine in here?







I've got the original stained glass for the transoms on the lefthand building and am restoring the original doors and trim around the main entrance on the right hand building. I'm also going to make replacement brackets for the cornice on the lefthand building including little spindle drip tips hand turned on a lathe. You can see where the original brackets were in five sets of two. Two sets on the left, one set in the peak, two sets on the right.

That's very impressive, plinko. I'm going to sticky this thread in the hopes that others will be encouraged to share their work.

I'll post one more for now. This is a soon to be under construction contemporary home in Ventura, CA. The house sits on a very narrow lot that cascades down a canyon. The most interesting part about this house is that it is essentially designed upsidedown in terms of program. While most of the house faces the canyon, the topmost floor (the Entry Floor) has views back down towards the ocean and the Ventura pier.

The lowest level (the Deck Level) has a home theater, a game room, a covered outdoor bar and eating area, and an infinity edge pool.

Cool pool idea, but there doesn't appear to be any basement windows, unless the bottom habitable floor is at the pool level.

[Cirrus]

Your stuff is interesting, proportional, and contextually sensitive. You should be proud of it.

[Flamesrule]

Very, Very impressive Plinko! I really like the last house that you just posted.

Very cool! I assume that it was modeled in Sketchup. But, what did you use to render it or is that just a print screen of the model with applied materials and then everything else photoshopped?

I don't frequent these parts of the forum that often. So, please message me.

the second is a university science building on the main street in downtown winnipeg....the periodic table was overlaid on the grid of the windows...its done in frit.

[Aleks]

wow, that university building is awesome! good job man

and that pavilion looks nice too! and i'm not just sayin' that.

[trueviking]
