There's been a recent crowdfunding effort to make CAD models of Soane's Bank of England:

See also the drawings of Eujin Lim, an architecture student: comics of the Soane museum. Something about the way space is divided in the house lends itself to the panel format:
Soane is part of a vigorously individualistic tradition in London's architecture culture that is still pretty strong. Zaha Hadid, Peter Cook, Peter Salter, Libeskind, Koolhaas. It's THE rabbit hole to fall down if you like buildings, drawing, complexity, spatial experience.
