In this thread, I'm modeling Hotel Michael.
Hotel Michael is a Hotel located in Sentosa, Singapore. It was designed by Michael Graves, most notably known for his post-modernist architecture works.
Possibly one of the toughest, time consuming SketchUp model attempts ever modeled by myself, it's still underconstruction in SketchUp for nearly a month. I tried to be as detailed as possible in this model without the use of painted window textures.
This model is detailed up to the last estimated millimeter; the use of real dimensional windows with depths, arcs, internal layouts, floor and ceiling finishes, structural elements such as beams, columns, load bearing walls were modeled and even to the extent of external cladding thickness and finishes including the 10mm expansion joint gap.
Till today, only 2 (TWO) storeys have been completed totaling nearly 60mb file size.
