Image is rather small for comment:

Nice:
1: Swirly cloud shader on roof an interesting solution - intended as slate?

2: Soft Irish light used in pictorial rather than photoreal method shows good details in rough textured building.

Not Nice:

1: Shadow silhouettes ghostlike - creepy.
2: Light color too white - suppresses interesting colors.
3: Impenetrable glazing disappointing.
4: Sun angle could be used to cast shadow to add dimensionality to the building - more contrast....

What is rendering engine? LightWorks?

Yes.... bit of a fudgy cheat that.

2: Soft Irish light used in pictorial rather than photoreal method shows good details in rough textured building.

True... but I don't like the use of bitmap'y' people... they always seem to look like cardboard cut-outs
2: Light color too white - suppresses interesting colors.
3: Impenetrable glazing disappointing.
How do I overcome this?
4: Sun angle could be used to cast shadow to add dimensionality to the building - more contrast....

Yes, its lightworks!

Figures:

You are correct about the use of cardboard figures in Archicad. Unless the sunlight exactly matches the light on the figure, it looks artificial. Besides, i see those figures on renderings all the time. Like Mr Newspaper pervert with that little hole cut in the left page., eh?
Even lousy is less creepy than the silhouettes.
Like, do you watch Ghost Whisperer or what? And she has a ghost dog. Go figure!

How to fix:
Don't place the figures in Archicad. It's a waste of time anyway because it takes so long to position them correctly.

Use Piranesi, Artlantis or Photoshop, instead. I prefer Photoshop since the lighting effect on the figure can be adjusted to closely match the scene lighting.

Once practiced, this step is very quick.

Glass:

Post the setting for your glass and we will tweak it.

As can be in Artlantis and Piranesi ...

Hi again,

I have tried to place a better quality image on the forum, but I'm limited to a 250kb odd image... ??? Hence the small one I have asked you to comment on!

Please find dodgy glass settings below.

Ta!

Just wondering a bit about the design... Is that a typical design for the gable roof supports in your area? IMHO, it would create an uneasy feeling going in and out of the doors everyday underneath that stake.

Yeh, the 'decorative' gable would be typical enough. Not at all to my taste... however the model has to match planning drawings... afraid the architect working on this up to planning stage has had the final say.... : (
