Well done! Hard for me to imagine being able to do this myself. I’m impressed.

Thank you so much for your very kind words! I draw a lot since I was a kid :)

I think I know exactly where that is.

There aren’t many triple deckers in Brookline because classist zoning has made them illegal, but there one small street I walk down that has a whole bunch of them.

It’s weird because there’s one that has what looks like a stucco finish which looks kind of strange and out of place on an otherwise typical triple decker.

The only place I can think of is Brookline Village around Linden Street. Is that anywhere close?

I honestly don’t remember what the street is called, but I do believe it is to the south of beacon.

I like three deckers and particularly the Roxbury type (gable roof, no stacked porches in front, many on Mission Hill). Here's a cream puff specimen on Walnut Street in Brookline.

Beautiful! Love the contrast between the straight lines of the house and fencing to the softness of the trees and bushes.

thank you so much for your message! Glad you liked the result! I painted the trees and sky with dry pastel to give this softer effect :))

Very nice! I can barely draw stick figures, so this is amazing to me.

i only lived in brookline till i was 4ish years old but i recall having to go upstairs after going through the front door. i’m guessing the bottom floor was a home our were upstairs. are there homes like that there?

thank you ! unfortunately I don't know how to answer your question. I live in Brazil (here we don't have this type of construction) and I made this drawing to order for a person from Brookline

Awesome!! Does this architect have an actual name (besides triple decka?)

Thank you so much ! I would also like to know but I live in Brazil and here we don't have that style of house...

Nice line work, but in terms of composition the complex geometry of the house is fighting with the colorful trees for your attention. My eyes don't know which they should look at.

Thank you for the compliment! And I understand your point of view. My client asked me for full-leaved and colorful trees, like in autumn in New England. We are both happy with the result. :)
