As the prototype I selected the house where I was born in Montfort, Belgium.
The flat structure has 4 layers :-
Glass
Window frames and door
Stone wall
Relief details

First I drew the front wall section.
The stones were drawn one by one.
The pencil drawing was then scanned to produce a '.JPG file' that was directly imported in the 'Silhouette Studio' software, supplied with the Silhouette Portrait cutter.

Excellent Jacques.
I know that we will be watching this with great interest.
I like that house a lot and could see a version of it being built here in Nevada.

Using the 'Silhouette Studio' software, the 5 openings to cut in the wall were located.
The '.studio3 file' was sent to the printer.
The printout of the stone wall, the 5 openings and 3 registration marks to guide the optical system, was then glued to the mat.
The mat was introduced into the cutter and the 5 openings were cut.
I now have a layer with the printed stone wall and the 5 openings cut.
The same '.studio3 file' was used to erase the stones and draw the door and 3 windows at the locations where openings were cut.
The arched portal opening was located and the file was printed.
It was sent to the cutter to cut the arched portal.
A third layer was made for the stone details, and those were cut by the same process.
I added a clear styrene layer for the glass window panes.

Another version of the house, made using model builder software.
Where I scanned 3 different layers.

Was the photo of the real building reversed?
I'm wondering why the model is the opposite ''hand''

@Jacques
The edges of the openings look a bit fuzzy, as if cut by a blunt knife, as do the windows and door frames.
This look is a bit in contrary to what I've read abut the Silhouette's performance so far.
Did you use the heaviest paper possible?
Lest I forget
A link to Pendon's paper modeling howtos.
I had the pleasure of talking to the late Mr. Ireland about his techniques.
A very informative talk that was.
With the Silhouette, one can transfer the painstaking steps into the program's care.

I prefer to use coloured paper thru and thru.
That way you prevent the white paper you can see on the windows.
