Very cool direction CivicDuty, I was thinking of the ecomomic concerns, that Speedline mentioned, CMU walls aren't too expensive. I do like your example

[speedline]

CivicDuty, I appreciate a lot your considerations, thanks for partecipation.
I like Meyer's works too and the quite white walls (I've thinked that mediterranean colour) there. As The Allusionist said I've not a great budjet but I could work on fast walls and frames to elaborate more that "box".
I'm still working on computer with the measurements, so very soon you'll have a 3d Wip on. I'm glad that you have posted an image...so reference or considerations are welcome.

The Allusionist Could you spell me CMU in english I want to learn this terms. You mean the walls with "glass bricks", right?

I like so much the dialogue here...please come in!

Speedline, CMU is short for Concrete Masonry Unit, basically your building looks like it is made up of concrete or cinder blocks, concrete bricks as it were.

[speedline]

I got it..thanks for the lesson.
Yes this house is builded by concrete bricks 20x20x40 cm. With the time and the rain the colour is changed.
Regards

Ok I've now the main model, but I want to submit it at your considerations. Which one do you like? The version A or B? Or no one?
Consider that these are WIPs

[speedline]

VersionB. I must think for a future roof on top, for now the beams support the pergola on top. Don't look to details but to the overall masses.

All C&C are vital.
Thanks in advance.

Hey speedline. I think the second one is more intersting on an architecture level, however I like the simplicity of the first one. But if I had to pick, I would go with the second one. Nice work.

[speedline]

CivicDuty: thanks for the collaboration, you are right on your observation. These are the base on which I want togive more improvements and details.
Thanks a lot my friend

[TheAllusionist]

I actually am more partial to the first option. The upper window like voids give a sense of a larger structure of useable space and give it a residential feel. If it wasn't a residential structure the second version would be my choice.

Looking at it, I almost think a strong horizontal plane protecting the front entries and tying/anchoring the center peice (which might be slightly underscaled) to the structure may give it some more visual interest.

Just some thoughts, it is looking pretty cool!

[CivicDuty]

Thats a very good point allusionist. Now that you say it I can see that now.
