After the Katrina hurricane hit New Orleans (USA) Brad Pitt asked a number of architects around the world to design houses that would be able to survive the next flooding. The result? Nice, modern architecture. This is one example.
inspiration came from
http://www.makeitrightnola.org/index.php/buil...hitect/trahan_architects/
and the pdf that you can download on that page.
SH3D is primarily meant to design 3D interiors, but with a bit of extra work you can design houses with it as well. This house consists of 5 stacked building blocks. In case you are interested you can download the original SH3D file here.
The ground floor + the extra layers = the complete house
Layer 0
The first floor, front part
Layer 1a
The first floor, rear part
Layer 1b
The roof, front part
Layer 2a
The roof, rear part
Layer 2b
All files are compressed, total download of all five files is around 3 Mb.
In case anyone is interested I could write some kind of tutorial and share what I learnt during the design process.
