I work in Mexico, in a small town named Valle de Bravo (just 2 hrs. from Mexico City), surrounded by a lake and forest (see pictures attached). In this place, as in many others, along the time the various influences and trends, as well as the environment itself, have created and defined a determined architectural style; here you can find, mainly within a preponderant Spanish influence, some details naturally taken from the own Mexican architectural trend, some other features from French provence, Tudor, and others.
This style is now a value that we all who live here and authorities want to keep preserved, so there are urban and building regulations which constrain the architectural design within them.
Therefore, to design
Beautiful render - it has come out really well and true to the 'as constructed'.
I can imagine that it is a little frustrating to have to be confined with design. Thankfully Australia is, for the most part, all new (little history really as european settlement only goes back barely 200 years) that anything goes in architectural style. While this makes it easy for designers, it also results in, to my eyes, some grotesque buildings. An example http://www.news.com.au/travel/story/0,28318,26387110-5014090,00.html (http://www.news.com.au/travel/story/0,28318,26387110-5014090,00.html). The new Perth Arena is heading the same way - http://www.housing.wa.gov.au/pertharena/images.html (http://www.housing.wa.gov.au/pertharena/images.html). Give me traditional (or Spanish/Mexican) any day.
Currently I am working on a remodelling of a 75 room Convention Centre. That will keep me busy for a while!
Hopefully we will see some more examples of your work in the future.

hi again
You are absolutely right! those buildings are sort of aberrant abortions.
on the other hand, I thank your remark about my pictures. I saw your '9 storey building' that IS a render, and a wonderful design!!!
soon I'll deliver some samples of houses in Valle de Bravo.
regards.
