This is a really cool thread! You guys are all very talented!

I hope its ok I post something of mine, because it is nothing that has or ever will be built, but is instead merely something I did for fun. (I start college next year)

This is meant to be an alternative to the many faux historic homes springing up all around Chicago. I wanted to design something very modern looking but at the same time could fit in well with Chicago's historic neighborhoods. I tried doing this by stressing the horizontal and using dark brick as the main material in the front. Anything that is not brick is prefab concrete (I think - i'm not sure what exactly its called).









The only reason the living room is so small is because I ran out of paper space. And yes, it did take nearly forever to draw the bricks.
