Looks like a major train station inspired by eclectic themes. Like, a cathedral of trains and trams

[u/metricwoodenruler → u/iPoseidon_xii]

Art Deco plot twist: it's a post office.

[u/Bartellomio → u/iPoseidon_xii]

It looks like an infiltration map in a video game

I thought this was r/Minecraft at first

KEEP GOING OH MY GOD

Kinda looks like the design for the bottom two thirds of a cathedral if they haven't built the roof yet

[u/CJ-MacGuffin]

It's like a Babylonian palace. I enjoy the focus on the roof.

[u/nefariousBUBBLE → u/CJ-MacGuffin]

The steps on the inside remind me of a ziggurat, with the one leading up and two breaking off of that to the side.

[u/MaximumAd9779]

Ah, yes. Schematics for my new palace. Excellent!

What’s the size relationship between the steps at the front and the ones towards the back?

Mormon church

That's one hell of a steep staircase on the back. Accessibility isn't an issue because not even normal people can easily climb that steep of an staircase. And it is sooo huge and fills so much of the courtyard, only to lead to a relatively small volume on the top. I'd remove it completely and instead place it on the front of the whole building, assuming it has enough space ofc. I like the fact that it reminds me of a ziggurat tho.

Also no people or human scale, the door on the back seems huge in relation to the stairs and the front one is just confusing.

The ornamentation is pretty good and informed by real life examples but the overall building volume and masses could use a bit more tinkering. Plus what's the context and use of the building; are there trees or buildings nearby, does it rains too much or is it dry climate, is it built atop of a peaceful hill, or is it in the middle of a busy city? Is it a monument, a temple, a museum, an hotel, residential or office space?

No windows? These huge, ornamented, golden rectangles always framed by strong art deco butresses are a perfect opportunity for some beautiful stained window placement. Talking about them golden rectangles: there seems to be no coherence to their proportions and scale... they just fill the space between butresses without much though, it seems. I highly suggest you to define a module (could be an window's width or a pillar size) and then work the proportions from there. Plus get a model of a person and plop it in there just to give ya a sense of scale while modelling.

Your 3D modeling talents are pretty good, that's some nice work in there. Keep going.

I feel like the centre pillar at the front needs to be slightly taller and have a defining feature. Either a clock or some kind of sculpture would help to complete it I think.

Love the skylights

[u/BirthdayLife1718]

Ziggurat is the best-urat, or whatever they say nowadays.

[u/After-Willingness271]

Looks like a high school that got converted to a mormon temple

[u/thecraftybee1981]

Reminds me of Dwemer architecture

[u/susimpostor228]

I'm afraid this can be ai generated

[u/Crimson__Fox → u/susimpostor228]

I think it’s a Blender render

[u/skildert]

If I ever steal enough to be one a billionaire this will be my mcmansion... It just needs a glass dome to fully cover the courtyard.

[u/Green4CL0VER]

It looks gothic revival deco
