Designed for Richmond

Thanks man! When I finish the whole thing, I was going to do views from the north, south, east and west and then maybe a few aerials. When I add color, it lags a little, but Ill see what I can do

Awesome! I can't wait to see it when it is all done!

[Cadeho]

Nice Tommy! How in the heck are you doing that? When did you take an aerial pic? I was going to do a map of downtown, but that's better.

You know what we need? A modern version of Sanborn Fire Insurance Co Maps, the ones that listed every detail about places and properties.

[TBurban]

Thanks, guys Ive been using Windows Live Local to do it.

As of Saturday, September 30th, 2006, 7.45PM.

All I have to do is the Canal Walk and the MCV area and it's finished.

[urbanvb]

Really nice job, TBurban.

[TBurban]

Thanks, and I insist, call me Tommy

The final view with everything completed.

Ill post other views tomorrow (Vistas is included)

[wrldcoupe4]

not bad when comparing with the photographic view!

[Cadeho]

Well, it's more than coinsidence :-x

[TBurban]

In the parking lot, across from Vistas. The top would be steel, lit up in white light. Similar to the building in Baltimore.

What!? Another flat roof??? I like it except for the roof...obviously. I have to say, though, that because the roof is flat, it would fit well into the current skyline. Gee, I can't wait to see new rendering of Centennial. Hopefully, they will integrate a conical roof into their design!

[TBurban]

Well, it would look awkward to put a spire of some sort on a building shaped like the Flatiron.

[TBurban]

..Too suburban?

[Cadeho]

There's still something oversized and topheavy about it...

A little more to scale.

[wrldcoupe4]

Where are you thinking it would go?

[Shakman]

Where are you thinking it would go?

Somewhere along the Canal would be nice. Perhaps where Reynolds is, once that fortress comes down.

[TBurban]

Yeah, in that general area somewhere. Itd be in a plaza, with some dancing fountains around it, some park benches and nice landscaping.

[Cadeho]

A little more to scale.

That is one giant woman!

You can place it in the village... it still looks top heavy and may fall on the amazon. She's a brick.... house...

[TBurban]

This is what Ive been working on. Any thoughts? Tell me what to mess around with some more....I want the tower to be...unique.

[Cadeho]

It looks nice, maybe on Chapel Island over that concrete thing along the south side of the canal? Manchester? The cornice is a little HUGE! You have to take into consideration ice in the winter.

Like everything but that crown on top.

[TBurban]

Like everything but that crown on top.

Aha, Ive come prepared for that. I had a back-up roof up and ready to go.

Better? Worse? Still too big?

[Cadeho]

Both look good, and as much as I hate to overrun the city with twins, they'd made a good pair. I'm still concerned over killer ice in the winter. Remember to taper.

[TBurban]

Why thank ya. The final product, with the balconies installed.

[Downtowner]

Heres my first design that I am still working on.

I like this design.
