Tuscany Hill Village Terrain Build
Piazza Shops
The heart of every good medieval village is the town square, or in this case, the piazza. This is where life in the village is lived and I want to give it a little character. Looking at reference photos (below) there is a wide variety of buildings and architecture even within the same village, so I think I have quite a lot of flexibility here as to what I design.
Looking at my ‘plan’ I need two buildings, the first I want to look like a pair of shops and the second a cafe.
For the shops, I’ve seen a photo (below) of a building that has clearly had an extension added post medieval period. I want to recreate this and have the upper level that looks like it has been added later. Once 3d printed in physical form, I plan to put a brick look onto top, just to add some visual interest.
For the cafe, I want an arched area where the tables would be located – somewhere for the patrons to sit out of the sun. You can just see an example of the arched look I want in the first photo above.
A building that has had an extension at a later point to provide some more 'upward' living spaceAgain, using FreeCAD, I’ve built each floor as a separate level. Doors and windows are designed separately and then placed into the cut outs I make in the walls. This greatly speeds up the design process.
Below you can see my designs for the shops and then the cafe
