Just for fun?

No, not really. Although my Edificus computer model isn’t complete (it doesn’t have a roof on for a start, let alone much furniture or any decor at all), I thought that I’d learn again how to activate the program’s ‘walkthrough’ view mode. This was very handy when I was doing the planning for my existing house’s extension because with the model placed in it’s ‘proper’ environment and coloured correctly, even though it was empty, ‘walking through’ it gave you a pretty good feel for how the final job would turn out.

In the interim, I’d forgotten how to activate it but I managed to get it going again this evening and I’ve shown a few results from it below, starting with the master bedroom.

Now the second bedroom.

And finally bedroom 3, which will be a secondary guest room.

Now the bathroom.

And last but not least, the little separate toilet.

OK, it’s only a bit of fun – well, almost. In fact, it has given me a reasonable ‘feel’ for how the house will be in ‘real life’, plus it has gone a long way towards allaying my fears that the rooms will feel a bit ‘pokey’. On the contrary, I now think that the bedrooms will be ‘bigger’ than I first thought, which is something of a relief. I’m not convinced about the kitchen, though, so I’ll need to ‘fit’ some units into it as well before I start thinking that it too might present a space problem.
