3D Renderings

13Jun06

Dsc 0008 5 2I promised last week that I would post some of the first 3D renderings that we had done. What you see here is almost a combination of the two floor plans that I posted last week. In the 3D renderings the existing structure is left in 2D and the addition is 3D. Having ripped out the wall between the old living room and bedroom further solidified the idea that the addition should have two bedrooms. Instead of trying to minimize the hall space, we decided to maximize its efficiency. Starting about 10 feet into our existing house (next to the bathroom) to the very back of the addition will be built in storage. That should make the smallness of the floorplan a lot more livable. The exterior will be a Hardipanel rainscreen. The windows have changed quite a bit from these renderings, but the rest is basically the same. Lots more pics, and a good floorplan after the jump.

    wow. very nice. i like the outdoor living courtyard aspect. a couple questions:

    1) what is the fence made of.. the same hardipanel?
    2) what is covering the exterior windows?
    3) how about cost estimates to do all of this

    We love the courtyard idea too.
    To answer your questions:
    1) Fence will be hardipanel at least at the back of the house to make the lines follow through nicely. The actual interior fence may end up being wood to soften things up a little. Too much gray hardipanel starts to get pretty stark.
    2) Nothing covering the windows. They are awning type, and shown open. The actual window arangement changed quite a bit since this rendering, but they will still be Milgard anodized aluminum thermally broken awning windows.
    3) Cost is a good question. The budget from the begining has always been 50,000. My architect says it should be under that no problem. I will be getting bids in the next couple of weeks, so we shall see. Some things that keep the cost down. No plumbing. Heating infastructure is all there, just need to lay some pex for the radiant. Concrete floors. The big costs are going to be the window systems, and the concrete and the roof. The rest should be a cake walk.

    Love the plans – liked the earlier versions as well, but this is a lot more efficient. Although IF it were me, I’d add sliding glass doors onto the deck from the other bedroom as well.

    Good luck!

    The main reason for not putting a slider on the second bedroom is cost. A six foot aluminum slider is a little over a grand, it just didn’t make sense for a kids bedroom. If we had the money though…

    I too have been inspired by the Brazillian courtyards (not the ones that are all landscaped with 12×12 tiles or course). Saw a lot of them in Asia as well. Here’s courtyard from one of the Toyota prefab houses that may inspire you as it does me.

    i currently have a stack of hardipanel in my driveway, and was planning on a similar application- a rainscreen wall in a horizontal pattern. but, hardi calls for solid framing along all edges, and my local code calls for these sheets to be applied vertically as well as fasteners being 6″o.c. along all edges. so, how are you treating your horizontal edges? you can’t have horizontal furring strips in a rainscreen, right?
    anyway, love your project, thanks for your time.

    Chris, I don’t know all the details yet, but you can be sure I will post them when I get that far. Definitely vertical not horizontal. I think you have to just not worry about fasteners on all edges. I don’t think it’s a manufacture approved install method. There is a long thread over at livemodern about hardipanel exterior, it’s worth a read.

    David, thanks for the link, sorry it took so long to post, Everything with a link gets caught in moderation due to the high loads of spam I get. Awesome link though. I think the proportions will be about the same.

    The courtyard is a very nice touch – the horizontal cladding is quite striking and will break up the solid walls.

    Is your architect doing the 3D renders?

  10. creede on July 10th, 2006 10:29 pm

    yes the architect did the 3d renders. They were in the very begining visualization stage, and were very rough. I think they show the concept well though.

  11. liza on August 24th, 2006 3:06 pm

    Who is your architect? As a fellow architect, I like to know who is doing what, especially when its modern!

  12. creede on August 26th, 2006 2:08 am

    Liza, His name is Seth Striefel, although he would be totally ashamed of those renderings. They were very much just conceptual.
