Ta mate, I think I am leaning towards a prefabricated unit setup where the frame is universal and the units are the alphabet.
Pardon the intrusion, the Badgers are here for supper so I popped out to deliver commestibles.
I reckon prefab units have a lot going for them when done right, seen a fair bit about Huf (
https://www.huf-haus.com/en-uk/ ) designs about the interweb and on Grand Designs where they appeared to be pretty good value for money etc.
Using a skeleton would possibly just be extending this idea a bit further so, rather like a bridge idea.
Services could be an issue, anyone have any thoughts on that? Possibly extend the alphabet to include units for this within a framework?
Units are two level and dimensions are 24' wide by 24' deep and 19' high (8' to ceiling).

OK guys, here are some quick renders of the "X" building I have been/am working on. There are a bunch of things I am not happy with but thought I would at least let you know that I am still working on it. It might be a little while before I finish.
Having some issues with the model:
- Placing windows on the octagonal shaped buildings. As you can see, some of them I have not even gotten to yet.
- Need to redo the foliage.
- Not happy with the roofing.
- Thinking about making the passage between the buildings different (several ideas).
- Not happy with the background image but do not have a better one to use.
So, here are the quick renders:

Steady progress.
Twilight supports proxy ( to place quality trees).
I usually use a png treeline -from 3d warehous- for background and place it in a proper distance to my model.

Yes, and I also like Skatter as it gives a bunch of options for applying foilage in the model in virtually any position and in any grouping you like.
Can you show.an example of a good tree line png file or tell me what to look for in the 3D warehouse.

OK, I downloaded some dae background files from the 3D Warehouse (Rockit3D dae files) and applied them to my model and then used Twilight Render to produce the following tests. I am liking these test reults. I think it will allow me to backoff with Skatter a little.
Here are the "quick" test renders and feedback is greatly appreciated even though some of my issues I outlined previously are still there, I think this will help me going forward.

It would be even nicer if collage two images, the starting sketch, and the final result!

I am not sure I know exactly what you are suggesting but I think I have an idea and will give it a try (might take a little time). I appreciate the response.
