For many of our LiveHome 3D projects we required a type of stair not available in the program’s built-in library. Sometimes we were able to find a stairway in the 3DWarehouse that fit the need, but in other cases we …
While I was working on the New York Engine Co. 31 model, I thought about putting it in a neighborhood of brownstones. The fire station model became too large and complex to keep adding to it, so I created a …
This LiveHome 3D project started from the idea of building a boathouse, and ended up being inspired by a vacation to Mexico we took with our friends Carol and John back in 2002. On that vacation, we took a cruise …
As we’ve been having fun creating our dream houses around the world, one theme I wanted to try was to create a Victorian firehouse. I’ve seen examples of several Victorian firehouses that were converted to living spaces, and being a …
After completing our Egyptian house, Lori suggested another exotic destination to continue our building spree: Inda. I must admit, I knew little about Indian architecture so a lot of research had to be done. Mostly what I found was that …
In many of our previous houses, there has been one room done in an Egyptian style. One of my first projects had an Egyptian parlor, the next project had an Egyptian bedroom, and another had an Egyptian styled home theater. …
After working on Santa’s Vacation Retreat I was in the mood to try another more modern house than what we usually design. Inspired in part by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Falling Water, I wanted to design a hillside house that would …
This is a house we started working on last year, and while we were working on it, Live Home 3D was updated. Part of the update was nice, as it added a library of Christmas models which fit in perfectly …
This Japanese House is one of the smallest Live Home 3D projects Lori and I have created, but for both of us, it is the favorite model we’ve worked on. It took a fair amount of research and even quite …
Welcome to Knowles Castle, our most complex building project to date. This 55 room castle got so complex that we had to split it into three files to be able to finish it within the memory constraints of the Live …
It’s been a while since I’ve posted any new 3D models. Not that we haven’t been busy creating new ones, it’s just that in December an update to the Live Home 3D program introduced a bug along with the welcome …
Pemberley is of course the fictional estate in Pride and Prejudice which happens to be one of Lori’s favorite reads. Our own modest estate had picked up the moniker Pemberley Rose, and so when I convinced Lori the characters in …
This model is the second location I designed for the series of books I’m writing. This house is the main location in the stories. It is based on an actual house and lot in Beverly Hills. When I started the …
This Live Home 3D model was the first structure we built to help Lori with her novel. Her story centers around a couple who inherit property in Scotland and decide to open a school for students interested in creating operas. …
This is the first house I designed with Live Home 3D. It was designed to help with continuity for a series of books I’ve been writing during the Covid-19 pandemic. This house belongs to the lead character who just so …
I had originally intended to do posts on each Live Home 3D project we created in the chronological order that we created them, but I was talking about this project to a client today and so I thought I’d go …
Ever since Lori and I have been homeowners, I’ve been searching for a easy to use program to do home design with. Whether it was visualizing how a room would look with Bradbury & Bradbury wallpaper, or whether the furniture …
