Hi Jonathan,
Great work as usual. I particularly like the windows and the roof detailing. I
have a couple of nits with it though: Firstly, I think the door would look
better done sideways like the windows and with the white patch (noticeboard?)
above the window. Secondly I think you could add the fan above the door in
relatively easily, a 2x2 round plate on two jumper plates would prbably do the
trick. Apart from those points I think it's an excellent facade and I look
forward to seeing it in its rightful place.
