Chief Architect Renders
Upon request, I've created this blog to document my experience with Ryan Homes, and detail information about the elevation we selected. We chose Elevation N. Here are renders I created using Chief Architect X2. Understand, these renders are interpretations of an actual elevation, and features may be missing or inaccurate compared to what we actually get.
Hear is the original Elevation N Ryan Homes as provided...

Interesting, and useful for us other Romans that haven't broken ground yet! I'm surprised, though...your rendering of the upstairs front looks more like the C or L than the E or N. According to the blueprints I saw, one bedroom is bumped out an extra foot. You can see the picture here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/43244821@N04/7994231371/in/set-72157631104874298
ReplyDeleteYes! Your are right, my walls are missing that foot, and the double gable was sort-of estimated. Thanks for that image!!!
DeleteLol...thank YOU! This was a very valuable post for me, it's so much easier to visualize like this than the standard floorplan. You said you're in Richmond? Where at? You can email me if you'd prefer, I personally don't share that info online so it's fine if you don't either. :)
DeleteThe model at our neighborhood also has a 1' section of wall between the dining room and the hall on the powder room side. Not sure why it isn't on the floorplan, though...I had to write it in when I was measuring.
DeleteFixed!
DeleteAdded some room labels too.
DeleteNice! Are you having a walkout basement? We were told we don't get stairs from the deck to the yard with a walkout basement...
DeleteYes, we'll have a walkout basement. The stairs are a NST request that will be priced out later at some point. I don't expect to have much of a back yard, which is OK by me (less to mow), but I couldn't see myself watching my daughter playing in the backyard, getting hurt or something, then me breaking an ankle leaping over the railing trying to get to her. Our SR response was, "there are so many deck/stair combinations, based on preference, landscape, etc, it's in our best interest not to offer it." But not having stairs seems like a safety concern, especially for families. If it's going to be like $500 or less, then I'll get the stairs, otherwise, I'll consider saving it for my insurance deductible and hobbling around on crutches for awhile ;)
DeleteLMAO...I couldn't agree more! I have two boys, 1.5 and 3.9. We're going to have to put in a fireman's pole or something, until we can get stairs added on, because I just KNOW they're going to do something stupid. Of course, I could always watch from the little patio-y area under the deck...that's actually a pretty nice looking area. I also brought up the idea of a slide from the deck, but my husband was not amused. :)
DeleteOMG THIS IS AWESOME! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITY AND LOOK FOWARD TO FOLLOWING YOUR BLOG!
ReplyDeleteLooking at the house from this perspective allows you to really see how LARGE this house really is! It's absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing it with us. I am still amazed at your skills. Love it!
DeleteThanks! I think that second gable to the right may lend itself to a perception of larger house. Then again, the sq. footage rang in at 4,050, and by some standards, I've been told it IS a LARGE house. The house lacks in width, but makes it up in depth, which I think is an efficient way to cram more houses into a subdivision. If I were the architect, and building something like this myself, I would have made the garage a second wing, provided an in-law suite on the first floor, and offer an attic. I'll post my plot soon.
