Building - Telegraph House [blender]

Former home to the Sheffield Telegraph offices, this striking Victorian building in the city center is a local landmark, I try to model it in 3D in this sleepy, ambient screencast.

/// Some script I wrote but never used:

Telegraph House is a Grade II listed building on the High Street, it was the original home of the Sheffield Telegraph – despite being such an interesting looking Victorian building, it is currently sitting vacant.

In this project, blender-osm has named it ‘element.118’, and I’m using the design decision that if it’s an un-named, element building: it’ll be fictitious, and within reason, I can do what I like with it.
The dome shape on the end is another building, ‘element.501’ – which most recently, was a branch of the Santander bank.

If we look at the reference photos, Sainsburys and Vaporized are below Telegraph house, so this will only be able to take up the first floor – I’ll need to move this up, but first I need to put in a couple of loop cuts to break the mesh down.

Between what was Peters, and is now Vaporized is an alleyway, which hasn’t been modelled in yet as you can see.
Some of the reference photos will have different chronology, but the architecture of the building remains the same – this is still Alpine court, and there’s a really nice sandwich shop down there if you’re ever in the area.

The former Santander building on the corner, if I isolate it - we can see that it’s curved.
Check the reference image, and there is a dome – but it only takes up the first floor, so it’s not that tall. There’s a spiral staircase in the dome – which will take the player up to the Telegraph House from the ground level.
