My project is a floating (in the sky) 16th century port town. This is my first building. Please give me feed back good or bad its all good, thank you everyone.
I think he means the port town, is floating in the sky, as in a sky port? This building would be anchored into the port?
It's starting off pretty well. But you have some work to do.
There is more to doors then just boards.
What holds the boards together?
How do the doors attach to the door frame?
How do you open the doors?
The support beams for the walkway are running the same way as your planks. Which means only a few boards are benifiting from the extra support. Normally planks on a walkway like this would hang over the edge supports more, its too easy for a nail or board to give way when they are that close to the edge of the plank.
The weatherization is odd, especially on the upper attic floor. Its the same texture as the bottom. None of that grunge is running down the building, it just stops at the timber support. Would the inside really see the same level of grunge or would that be more protected from the elements?
Like with the planks, you should give the roof a bit more of an over hang.
Adding some window cowls to the roof could be a nice touch. You have to think this is the 16th century, so their biggest source of light is during working hours is daylight.
You need to put yourself in this scene, you need to work here, and things need to worked out. There are some big holes in the function of this building. Definitely dig up some ref and really start to back in some function to your form.
How do they keep the place warm?
Do they collect run off water? If so how? If not what happens to it?
Good start but its time to dig in and really make it something special.

What you have so far looks good. I would recommend to start making some props to help give life to your scene.
Adding another dirt and grunge pass would help give your scene more character.
Keep at it.
