Very cool. Was that only an outside elevation or did you also draw the
interior rooms/floor plan? AND or was that a redo project or from the
ground up?

This was a ground-up project complete with grade beams on bell-bottom
piers supporting six 8X8 TYP posts in 1/4 steel brackets below various
trusses, all engineer approved, of course. And all built out over the
existing driveway and bolted to the existing structure which, BTW, was built
in 1906.
In case you missed it you can sort of get a feel for how it went up:

I have dabbled in interior renderings on other projects (some never
built) but on this one gave the client the "floor plan" mostly as you see it
in the subsequent drawings along with the Sketchup elevations. They had a
much harder time "seeing" the exterior big picture. As with a lot of our
clients (yours, too, I suspect), finishes, colors, etc are an on-going
process that often are not decided till much of the grunt work is completed.
As you can see from the photos, the clients have - hmmm - eclectic tastes
vis-a-vis colors, tile patterns, etc. If you decide to check out he house
on a drive-by, wear your shades; the yellow will burn your retinas. KODAK
could use it for marketing purposes. We've also done interior painting,
wood floor replacement, built the patio cover in the back, and more recently
replaced the patio doors (in the back) for these same clients.
