[MOC] The Lumber House

[harton]

Hello folks,

Its been a while since I post something in this section, but this time is over, and I restart this in big! Just to let you know, I've been working on some house modeling since 3 months and I can finally show you the first results of that hard working session! In this period I was not able to built as I wish, I have (again today) deal with my schoolar projects, which means, I cannot run Autocad and POVray at the same times... Because my motherboard card will really not appreciate it! I'm trying many different things and I'm learning how to work with Povray, so for the moment I'll expect to show you a new creation in begining of February. I also at the end ot this post present you a personnal project, that I wish will interest some of you, city builders.

So without any word on this, I will now show you my first creation in LDD, I expect finish the hand-build soon.

So I present you:

The Lumber House

Here's the text, if your not able to see it clearly (due to size limitation):

"The Lumber House is listed as a pioneer in the way of building green homes, because in addition to the concept of sustainable construction, it is equipped with the latest domotic advance. The home is warm and perfect for any meetings with relatives or simply to relax and admire the view. Being on an elevated foundation gives the house an impression of lightness. Although it is a single-storey, it has a high ceiling in the living room to enhance the supply of light. The house roof is divided in two sections, with a green roof on its upper part, reducing heat loss caused by the large windows. The use of timber fills our senses, acting more than just siding and structure. This model is mobile and thus, respectful for the environment, only one base is needed. The Lumber House can be perched on top of a hill as the same ways it would on riverside."

The house has:

- 1 kitchen

- 1 living room (with a fire place)

- 1 bedroom (option with 2)

- 1 W-C

- Enought storage (inside and outside (the red square))

Notice the main door is a little hidden, the front view has only one window, which gives a really good privacy look and let the other sides have all the sunlight. Notice also the "frosted" window in the second perspective view for the washroom.

So I now presents you different views:

Persective

Front and top

Lateral and perspective 2

Okay, I hope you have like what you just saw. Now I want to talk to you of the group I create, a groupe name:

It is a simple groupe created to regroup some study and realisations about Lego architectural and design creations! If you have some techniques you can share it to us, if you have made some really cool house, institutions, shop or any other types of building, and that it is good looking or you have made a good presentation work, well add it to the group. I always said do it as a porfessionnal would do (you're the professionnial!). If you have some cool city creations, such as exterior parts, bench, park elements, etc, show us. Because we have, as citizen of every city around the globe, a quest to accomplish, which is to made our city evole and progress in the good way. This means, new involvements, new way of doing thing, which results to a new desgn a new architecture, because adding trees in our streets will not gonna save us if we don't do any other efforts. Let's talk about these new creations, let's invent them, let's build them in Lego first, let the artist in you save us. Show us what you are able to do and put it on EB to let the others know and add it to the group solution. The only requirements, are to have fun and to have a clean presentation! The future is now!

keep it up!

I'm really digging the clean lines and the textual details of the building. I like it a lot.

Do you have any interior shots?

Thanks for sharing it with us.

[Wedge09]

Great :thumbup: I love the shape of this concept house

[harton]

Thanks, I'm quite happy to see that you like it. And because some of you ask me, I'm actually working on an interior views! So I hope to be able to show you till the end of the month.

As I said on flickr, this is beautiful, both in terms of the building and the presentation. I'm looking forward to seeing the interior!

Could be interested to join this group, I am an architect myself but haven't done anything architectural with Lego to this point

Amazing MOC, very neat design!

You're right: "Architecture is everywhere, architecture is in Lego!"

This looks very professional. I like the clean look of walls combined with glass and modernistic style.

Well there is always a beginning somewhere! I'm sure you have some projects that can be made in Lego, we always have some. It is good you join the club, we will grow bit by bit, one creation at the time! But for now discussion is always interesting, like sharing ideas!

Well thank you, I'm trying to be one (a professionnal!), I really like to add glass, to maximize the amount of light, it reduces when it is sunny in winter, instead of having a plain wall, with "normal" windows, technical details. I won't said it is modern style, more "contemporain", with some Panfab panel.

Amazing MOC, very neat design!

You're right: "Architecture is everywhere, architecture is in Lego!"

It is more thanmy quote, architecture is everything you see! From your pen, to your car tires, everything!

I actually tried a render from the interior, it seems good, but I got more tests to do, to continu...

I finally did an interior render, which is very different than on any other program I worked with... Those camera positions are really frustating. SO, after many hours of rendering here is the results.

So as you can see it is a view of the boudoir and the kitchen.

Here is a render view of a possible interior furniture. You can see the boudoir at the left and a part of the kitchen at the right. The dining room is at the current point of view of the photo. For the kitchen I use some metallic pieces, to make a stainless look. You also notice the windows are not there, well simply because I wanted to finish it! The render would have continue to run if I have put them! I do believe interior rendering are not so common, if you see some, it would be interesting to share it.

Thanx again, comments welcome,

Harton
