Hotel Del Salto

Hey guys

Thought I would post up an environment piece I am currently working on, and get some needed critique/feedback off you talented artists!
Its my first post on here for a long time, and hopefully there are many more to come.

I am working on a building called 'Hotel Del Salto' it is a real building located next to Tequendama Falls, Columbia.

Reference:









I have alot more reference and i'll post them up as i'm asking for crit on each section.

This is what I have at the moment:

I'm currently in a bit of an optimizing stage, as the buildings polycount was a bit high, and I have a lot of unneccesary edge loops that contribute to nothing.

Everything I have highlighted in red is what I have optimized, and everything in grey is what I haven't.









Am I going in the right direction by cutting off edge loops into tris? E.g. Not doing what I have done on the bottom piece where multiple edges just loop around into nothing.

I wanted to make the building out of modular pieces so where you may see n-gons I have just snapped a separate piece to another piece. I'm guessing this is pretty bad topology as well?

I also had pillars for the balcony section but i'm re-modelling them now, along with other bits and pieces that I have missed out

Either way general critique, opinions on scale of each piece etc is welcome!

It's a bit early, but you do seem to have some extra poly along the sides that aren't contributing anything. It's most apparent on the lower section.

Very excited to see where this goes.
