WIP : Venice

[Alec]

I'm starting a Venice style modular street done this so far for one of the corner buildings:

I can't think about how to do the doors right. Anyone got any ideas?

EDIT: Folder not yet public here are deep links:

That's looking pretty realistic! Lookinng forward to see it finished!

Venice is naturally small scale and should fit a lego moc.

Yours is not a residence but maybe a traders magasine.

But that only means you can do some luxury house later.

Personally I like the backstreet decay where the houses has a lot of texture

from centuries of negligence. Did you have a tour in person already?

Also I suggest a small chapel in the fashion of the sienna dome with

almost zebra-like black and white facade...

I like where this is going.

I like the detailing a lot :) Good job.

I like the colors and the shutters - in fact, I think the lower windows would be better with shutters than the transparent bricks. I also think you should top the columns with capitals. At the moment, they end a little awkwardly. Flickr member d-higdon has some nice examples of the sort of door you need on the bottom of this page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/buildingsblockd/sets/

I've now changed the lower windows and it looks much better! Also the Lower doors are arches leaning into a smaller area. Ill post pics later.
