One of my personal faves. I wish I could design a practical modern house to look like this! It hangs on my wall here in the house.

To make it a modern practical design is a challange ,what if you were to replace the wood beams with metal ones and add a lot of glass ? Anyhow ,good job.

HMMM sounds suspiciously modern. I would be more interested in trying to get a workable living plan into a very small footprint, four or five story house design, where the stairs alone, meeting proper code, eats up a LOT of floor space. Not necessary for steel when I have access to huge Douglas fir beams, very strong, and modern LVL laminated beams. By modern I meant plan, not modernist style.

I misunderstood then ,I thought you meant modernist(I'm no architect) ,I can see the problem with the stairs.What if you were to make one long staircase for every floor ,only takes up one side of the floor and then at the end of the staircase it could form a 90 degree angle with the next stairccase so it would spiral to the top of the house, but then you need a sort of hallway for each floor ,I don't know ,I'm no architect.Do you mind if I try to model try to model your design in google sketchup ?

Go for it. This is an actual building in Northern France though. But that shouldn't stop us. Important for me are actual dimensions. What are the ceiling heights? How much square footage on each floor? Minimum stair width to meet code is 3 feet plus a few inches for rail. I usually go with 10 and half inch across steps, about 7 and a half high, about 18 steps for 10 foot ceiling with one foot thick second floor, or 16 steps for a nine foot ceiling. See how interesting this gets quickly?

I am sorry to get you hiped up ,but I am in an exam period and I simply don't have the time for such a complex project ,I would have loved trying to model this

Don't worry, I'm not hyped up. Do well on your exams!

Okay, I looked at it again. The stairway is just to the right of the doorway, hence the window positions. Stairwell could be 7 feet across with a landing halfway up. Go with 9 foot ceilings max. We have four floors to work with. Ceiling shape on 4th floor gets very interesting and will affect the room design.

I used a good quality tracing paper over the original line art, about 8 inches by 11 in size. Then I scan and tint the color.

This looks an awful lot like a building in Wroclaw that my dad visited and got a picture of~ They look almost exactly alike XD

Wroclaw? Zat in Poland? I'd like to see it.

Yup~! It's probably the most unpronounceable place name ever XD

I like this one: Skaneatles, New York. Pronounced SKA nee AT liss. Nothing like how it looks.

Whoaaa XDDD
That's just madness
But then again, every place in Wales is like that, just adding in extra letters for the hell of it~

i really enjoy the tower expansions, the floor by floor widening. i think its a smart idea, as there is limited space to build on soooo go high up

That's what they did in medieval times to "find" more space on upper floors. To us, of course, it creates charm and novelty, something we never really do any more. Well built from oak probably, lasting hundreds of years, the framing is still in good shape.

for them it was likely survival and charm aswell

Oh I love it. Is this a real building or imagined?
