Storyboard

• First of all I created levels after I estimated the approximate dimensions of the house. Levels for ground floor, ceiling, roof and the upper story.
• To get the shape of the house I used the wall-tool to get the original shape. I adjusted the hight of the walls according to the different levels.
• When the walls were finished, I added the floor slab of the first story.
• I added the roof for the first floor and decided not to use the roof from the first story as the floor of the mastersuite located on the second story. 
• I made a inividual floor for that room.
• I had a some problems to adjust it accordning to the roof of the first story but i decided to place the floor slab in the same level as the walls starts.
• I created a floor slab for the ground story, and made the silhouette of the pool as a part of the floor slab.
• Then I added the camera views under View/3D View. I tried different angles before i made the renderings. 
• During the rendering process I adjusted the exposure several times and made two final renderings of each view. I also changed the skylight.



My creations so far...

... might not play in the same league as Mr O'Herlihy's but at least I think you will see that they are suppose to show the JAI House.

The architect behind the masterpiece...
