Just a small update.
This is a building I started working on a while back. I didn't finish it at the time, code work took priority, but I've come back to finishing it now.
I started off with some concept art :
It's, heh, a bit bright and cartooney, yes? A mate of mine saw it and said it looked like a gingerbread Spanish villa, not quite what I was going for, but funny nonetheless. Concept art isn't really for public consumption, well mine isn't, I'm not a good enough artist to constantly churn out quality works, they are more quick and dirty sketches for me to nail down a concept in my mind. I was going for a sun drenched villa, a rich estate with a bell tower from which to signal the workers in the fields. Bright, saturated colours.
So this is the model I've been working on.

Also, I think its good to have different types of buildings or you fall into the problem Oblivion has where everything looks the same and the world seems really generic.

@Matt: It all comes down to textures -- this could easily go either way based on art direction: Realistic or cartoony.
