Any idea how to 3D model the apartment from P.T. Silent Hill

I'm sure we all remember the playable teaser for silent hills back in 2014 and I recently decided to attempt to remake the apartment that the game was based in, I know another member remade it also using Unreal Engine 4 but I tried to contact him and so far nothing, I have a bunch of reference images but I'm not that experienced with 3D modelling from images because I dont have the exact dimensions of the apartment so any tips or advice would be much appreciated

    Your best bet is probably to just go off of your reference images and tweak/adjust until you hit it. Don't be afraid, we're all inexperienced at one point. Give it a shot if it's what you want to do!
    Good luck!

    Yeah this is actually a great skill to develop, since there will be many times you're asked to build something from scant or incomplete reference.

    Often you'll get 1 concept (sometimes with severe perspective errors), or you'll get a photo of something, and you'll be asked to make a 3d version of it. Oh and adapt that thing to match the style of the current game you're working on. 

    So eyeballing something is indeed a good skill to have.
