Looking really nice Thomas, I like the subtle media beams! Don't forget to add
pass_through to the photon blocks for the skylights and the water (to allow
reflected caustics on arch and ceiling).

I'm having a go at this myself and found that the walls had nearly 10,000 stray
verts in the mesh that needed merging; and letting PoseRay re-process those
Blender meshes makes the textures so much easier to manage! WIP currently
rendering...

Cheers,
Rob
