Great Room Rendering
A recent interior project required some visualization prior to beginning the working drawings. I was able to complete the rendering below in about 10 hours. The view represents a proposed Great Room interior at 1:00pm on July 1st in Ann Arbor - prior to adding interior lighting.

Enhanced visualization - an advantage of BIM
 |
| A typical "cut-away" view of a 3D BIM model can greatly assist in understanding the design |
 |
| Exact materials can be applied and reviewed |
 |
| Every joist and stud can be counted for cost estimating |

Jan. 12 visit - just prior to occupancy permit
 |
| The utility room and o.h. door was changed to be a usable space w/sliding door. |
 |
| The sliding (mirrored) doors help create a spacious corridor back to the bedrooms. |
 |
| Lots of pantry space, and two fridges to handle the appetites! |
 |
 |
| Chapel end wall with donated olive wood crucifix under construction. |
 |
| hmm... this could have used some more attention... |
 |
| best window view in the house... of the Sisters' motherhouse. |
 |
| Apparently, the half-walls & columns met the budget axe. |
 |
| ...i wold have placed a hard cushion there, but, maybe it'll work as something else? |
 |
| Tons of room downstairs... plans for carpet tiles and a lay-in ceiling. |

December visit
The heat is on indoors, and the finish guys are working as fast as they can doing everything from the oak flooring and cabinets to the tile-work and trim. Here are some shots of today's visit...
 |
| View from Warren Road heading west toward the residence |
 |
| Looking east |
 |
| Hopefully we'll get some stained glass designed for the circular lite. |
 |
| Stairs down to "the lower level" |
 |
| We wanted to save that tree... I think we did it. |
 |
| Some pea gravel missing below, but looks like it'll fit a Weber E-320 nicely. |
 |
| One of the two utility rooms off the garages. |
 |
| Two of the bedrooms have this view of the front door. |
 |
| The other utility room. |
 |
| Hope that boot bench is high enough for our tall Ugandan priests. |
 |
| Ahh... the trim guys. |
 |
| The kitchen gets an oak floor as well. |
 |
| This bedroom has a view of the convent bell tower in the background. |
 |
| Stamped concrete and some landscaping to hold back that slope... i hope. |

Exterior brick complete
 | |
| The brick-layer was a pro. Look at that walking soldier course. |
 |
| Shutters will make those expensive windows appear a bit bigger, later. |
 |
| Landscaping is a separate bid. Should be fun. |
 |
| The Motherhouse can be seen in the distance. Tree saved... so far. |
 |
| Here's how that egress window corner condition was resolved. (by a pro!) |
 |
| Should end up being a nice patio area. |
