Here's an update on the row detached house, I still have more to do on the house but not a lot and then I can add textures . Most of you should know is that there will be three houses on the 2x2 lot. If I plan to make a 2x3 lot the lot will have five detached houses. I have been studying the lot set back rules and we all should know that wall to wall building should be 1.6 meters from the edge of the lot for the walls to line of with other batter buildings, this all ways made sense to use this because the early batters have used the practice/ rule to keep some sort of order, but for row houses detached and brownstone houses the rules are a little different. The rules for the row houses detached and brownstone house are different because the houses has stairs in front of them. If they only used the 1.6 meter setback rule the stairs that protrude from the building would end up on the sidewalk. It will make sense to make buildings like row detached houses and brownstones 1.6 meter plus another 1.6 meters from the edge of the lot, this will equal to 3.2 meters from edge of the lot, this also make it where you can have a protruding stoop and a small garden next to the stoop. It is possible to go farther back but it depends on the real life building, so what I plan to do is to make the set back for this building 3.2 meters from the edge of the lot. I am thinking about making mirror models on the row houses. Thinking in the future for the project is mind blowing. I may have to make up to 20 row houses.

This might be really trivial but have you thought about modeling roofs that are sloped to get rid of rainwater? Like this sort of stuff?

 

Because I noticed that these buildings have gutters and downspouts at the back so the roof must slope down to there. I think you modeled the parapet a little too short for this to work too. Again this is really trivial, I never thought about this before until a week ago and the drainage of many flat roofs still remains a mystery to me.

[SimCoug 5,976]

Wonderful Aaron! Great details, and I like how you plan to lot this.

Shy Dude- I have thought about doing that on my roofs but not on all of the building it will make sense to do the sloped roofs for the row houses because I think you can see them better.

 

SimCoug- Thank you!!!

Peter Stuyvesant

 

Here's a new building for you NYC fans, I needed to get back on Manhattan, because Aaron is one of the NYC apartments Kings for Sim City 4.

A question for you guys, do you know the name of the building to the right of Peter Stuyvesant in google maps, it was created by a NYBT member.

Sweet,a new large Apartment Building.I wouldn`t call this massive building a real beauty (not your fault Aaron,it`s the original architects fault,this seems to be the reason he wants to be unknown) but this will be a fine addition.Although i kinda hate this area because there are so many "unique" buildings that aren`t available yet. Luckily this is one of the last neighborhods i will develp in my NYC Majors Diary...

 

 

A question for you guys, do you know the name of the building to the right of Peter Stuyvesant in google maps, it was created by a NYBT member.

 

Uhm...i`m kinda confused now.Which building are you talking about?The reddish brick Corner Building right next to your new one or...oh wait,you are talking about that white older building with the corner clocktower?I guess this one was once made for SC4 but was kinda out of scale....doesn`t really fit into the 4 tiles streetgrid and parts were missing.

[cmdp123789 710]

Oh yes! I like it.. and I like Manhattan buildings!! What building are you talking about Aaron? is that in Manhattan?

[Huston 5,800]

Dude. Stop. You're suffocating me. (No, but keep going, this is too good )

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Thank you guys!!!!

The building i'm talking about naming is on the right, the red building, do you guys know the name of it, the building is on STEX.

[cmdp123789 710]

Oh! I get it now.. I thought you meant another thing.. yes of course I know it.. its the Hattan House.. you did it.. are you kidding me? I thought you were asking if it was on the stex LOL!

[Hanson784 165]

Another mid century Manhattan midrise. Always good to plop them down in my NYC recreation since they make good residential fillers and the variations prevent the neighborhood from looking repetitive.

 

Yep, it's 200 East 15th Street, aka the Hatten House. Created by none other than you Do we win your unreleased buildings for guessing right? Speaking of which whenever I walk by 185 3rd Avenue I wonder what happened to your version of it.

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

2639 & 2641 Jerome Avenue

 

See, I know someone would get it right, the Hattan House. Sorry for no updates, last night and tonight was exporting night for the 2639 & 2641 Jerome Avenue.

 

This building below, if you do not remember then you need help. This is a old render (Previously post).

 

[Hotwheeler 409]

Oh i definately remember this one.Already wondered what happened to it.And to be honest,i can`t wait for this one to be released because i`m in a desperate need for Aaron Graham-Quality Commercial Lots
