Excellent Richard 
The houses are very original and the library promises the best.
good luck for the continuation.

Very interesting design for the library, nice to see some of these kind modern buildings being made.

Peckham Library and Media Centre is now on the LEX

Peckham Library and Media Centre is now on my plugin folder.

Nice work with that 

[zero7]

After the weirdness of Peckham Library I decided to create something far more conventional and, realising that it is an age since I made anything industrial, decided to create this modern industrial shed that is used as a goods distribution centre ...



The open area on the left front of the building is the entrance lobby to the office areas. 

The houses previewed previously are currently being tested.

Nice work RP

I guess those openings on the left is loading docks.
Try mirror the angle of them, so the trucks doesn't block the the entrance lobby or move the to the side of the building.

You're right, the trucks will be in everyone's way if I leave them at that angle.  They'll stay at the front though as they are the goods out bays and there'll be a separate goods in bay on the side (I haven't cut the hole in the wall for it yet!).

Here's an update on the industrial shed ... now named the 'K2 Distribution Centre'

[TheTeaCat]

Very nice indeed 

looks much better with the bays this way, great textures too

Nice! K2 eh? I live near a 'K2 industrial park'. This will be good for me 

[zero7]

A little w2w diagonal office building that came together pretty rapidly today when I had originally intended to work on the 'K2 Distribution Centre'.

[rooker1]

Great work on the diagonal lots.  Just yesterday I DL'd the other ones you made.  They look awesome in game, thanks for all your hard work.

I'm making progress on the K2 Distribution Centre and will post a preview tonight when I've had a chance to render it.  It might be ready for upload this weekend.  Even if that isn't the case there'll still be something from me as I've taken Horizon House and changed the front to create a variant:



I need to rework the roof junk so that it is different from the original, but this is pretty much finished.  I'm going to call it New Horizon House.

Spiffing! Good work rp 

[zero7]

As promised in my last post, here's the latest pics of the K2 Distribution Centre:

First, the side bay usable by side or rear loading trucks ...



And then the front view again ...



There's still quite a lot of detailing to do.  I need to put something in the office area ... desks might be a good idea!  I then need to sort out the lighting.  But before any of that, as the overall size isn't going to change the building will now get its LODs which means the next time you see it will be an in-game shot.

[Serkanner]

Great progress and I think changing the "ports" into the other direction was indeed the right decision. The side view has become a lot more interesting and offers some great opportunities for the lotmakers here on the board. I bet some people will come up with very nice variants.

I am looking forward to see the in-game shots.

[zero7]

Here's New Horizon House in-game.  I'll be uploading this tomorrow.



My thoughts about K2 getting released this weekend were wildly optimistic.  The more I look at it, the more there is to do - detailing is always like that.

It'll be ready when it's ready

Great work rp I love those diagonal offices  :thumbsup:Anychance of something like that but orthogonal ??

Maybe.  But I can't just turn the model 45 degrees as the width for 1 tile diagonal is 22.6m whereas 1 tile orthogonal is 16m.  So for an orthogonal it would need to be a reworked model or a filler building would have to be made to take the width up to 32m.

I quite like the way the windows have turned out on this one, so the style will probably get used again.


Here's a question for anyone interested in the K2 building ... If you look at the side where I've added the second loading bay; do you think that if I created a platform along that side the building would be suitable as a rail freight depot? (This would be a variant, the growable will be for trucks only).
