Hi guys,
Here's my version of JMA Architects' Dolomites House.
I should also mention hcpiter666's really nice version of that same home as a source of inspiration. You can find his original post here.
As always, everything modelled in Blender and rendered in Vray using Andrey Izrantsev's wonderful export script, which you can find here.
Grateful for C&Cs.

Thanks a lot for the nice feedback guys. Much appreciated.
bjallal: Cheers. They look just ok on my monitor. In any case, I forgot to save the renders at 16bit, so I didn't have the possibility of doing much post-prod. When I tried to raise the contrast more, I got some horrible banding on the white walls. That's one lesson learnt for next time.
Santasel: I normally use Vray dof (with the physical camera), especially when I've got lots of glass, as is the case here. In the last image, I did another DOF pass in Photoshop (using Rosenman's DOF Pro) because my DOF subdivision was too low and the render was noisy. This pass got rid of the noise in the blurry area, but it still retained the accuracy of the Vray DOF. That's something that's worth experimenting with if you want the best of both worlds.
As for the cam setting, I used an aperture of 2.5, a shutter speed of 0.25 seconds, and I boosted the focal lens value to 100 in order to get a shallower DOF.
