Description
Watercolor sketch for an early design idea based on simple "French Country" vernacular architecture, perhaps from middle to Northern France, but with a barrel tile roof more common in Southern France. The chimney might be more English with flat roof tiles covering the angled roof-like portions of the part that projects out from the wall. The shed dormer with the three windows is also more 20th century I would say, not exactly typical French. Simplicity and rustic appeal is key to this charming home. Leave your cares and pretensions behind as you sit in the shade and enjoy the wine and cheese produced just a short distance away!Technical: Drawn on tan paper about 8 inches by 5 inches. Very limited watercolor palette with emphasis on grey and brown, keeps color harmony maximized and allows architecture to be the focus. Highlights and details in brown ink "Micron" pen. Borders around edge drawn/painted onto original sketch. 3D model by me, "built" to exact dimensions from the sketched floor plan, 2D graphic exported and further manipulations applied.

Beautiful, I wish there was more houses around built like these from your pictures. The world would be a better place.

Lovely --looks like it should have involved flower and herb gardens about it.

Yup, that's fine with me. You are in a Chi-town Suburb?

Yeah, in NW Indiana currently. I keep circling the city.

Very nice house
Do you study design project for your class in university (architect?)? Or you just personally make these house for another purpose?... Great!

I am self-taught as an architectural designer, no formal education, in architecture at least. (My degree is in art history with some pre-engineering background.) This watercolor is just a study for leisure, but many things I post here are actual paid projects, both design and construction. Mostly, I design custom homes for a living!

This reminds me of Belle's house in Beauty and the Beast. Lovely =]

that's very similar to a country house i saw today in the Polesden Lacey grounds (UK national trust park/estate), very nice!

Yeah, you like the color? I'll dig up something else and fix it up. I have other color studies laying around, just need completion and minor fixing.

I'm working up some numbers for a dentist whoΒ wants to build a "hobby farm".
π: 0 β©: 1
Seriously? I love gentleman farms. You do this as a solo project? If you need help or consultation, let me know. I have two possibles in the hopper here locally myself, besides other stuff, both custom homes. Maybe we could trade CAD service/construction plans for consultation and associate design.Β
When you work up numbers like this, you figger out 500K for house, 100K for horse barn, 40K for premium fence, 60K for other small outbuildings, etc.?? Something like that? Then work backwards to design the stuff?
π: 0 β©: 1
I wasn't working up construction figures, I'm working up the numbers to do the design work..
The "barn" has already been built at 6k square feet. He wants to add an apartment at one end, then build a greenhouse, another barn, and a house.. All in a matching style.
π: 0 β©: 1
VG, nice project. I wouldn't mind a small greenhouse effect on my house somewhere, for winter plants like our lemon tree. I could see adding another "barn" (small shed?) some day too. Where is he? Towards Pickens county? Lots of good rural stuff there..Β

What a lovely little house, I can picture it in the countryside near a river or stream close to hills and fields with mountains in the distance. What a charming life that would be! What a beautiful idea you had great design.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes and a vineyard!

Wow I really like your designs and your houses and your style reminds of old classic Lord of the Ring and Japanese drawings. Keep up the great job!
π: 0 β©: 1
HMMMM Japanese drawings...I studied Japanese art in art history...flat decorative color patches, nice lines, 2 dimensional, concern with pattern, blah blah...

I'd say you got the 'look' right, since I've seen a house almost exactly like that actually in France. It wasΒ sort of 'middle' french, Northern but with southern influences and renovated by an retired English couple.

I stayed at a "mas," an old French farmhouse converted into a country inn by an English couple. Yes, we had wine and cheese and fresh cherries and lots more sitting at a table next to the pool! Good times...

This comment you meant ?
Yes you can gain much weight staying in such farmhouses !!! Worst of all are in Alsace (east of France) were you just explode after what they call a "simple"Β lunch Β
Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Opposite for me. We hiked all day in French villages and worked up a BIG appetite. I would LOSE weight if I visit France he he he... I liked a cheese I bought from the Alsatian region, much better than southern France's goat cheese...

This cheese that stinks a lot called munster and because of wich you can't speak to anyone for a week because of your bad breath ?! Β
Glad you like it !!
π: 0 β©: 1
HA HA no another one, not as stinky.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh yes, I'd like to have cheese and wine in the garden of this house !! It makes me really think of farmhouses inn we can find in France
