I kept this just to rework it as I never liked the old version

I wanted to capture the aesthetics of an architectural sketch rather than building a house where actually people live. Therefore I used parts as large as possible for a really smooth, untextured look and I also didn't add details like e.g. mail boxes.


It is a real build, not a a digital one. Therefore I don't have the exact parts number but I would guess it uses about 2500 bricks. It might look like is has more parts but I used large panels mainly and a set should use even more the largest parts availlable. I would have used more large parts if I would own them. The plant part that I used here extensively was recoloured to lime as the part is not availlable in lime yet. The physical model uses olive parts.

I only used common standard techniques and connections here. Only the 2x5 window to the right is a bit more fancy. There are transparent quarter tiles inside. This is only optional of course and I think something similar has been done in set so it should be a legal technic.

The plants are build and placed pretty randomly and could be changed, too.

Almnost finished. I forgot a bay and I could'nt attach the frame because it was too large for my light box.

Quick edit only. I am going to do a better one most probably

In September 2023 I will showcase a build in Billund, Lego house. This one will be a part of it. I am going to expand it to the right and it will be much larger, too.

You can see there's nothing totally new here; for Billund I don't experiment but try to put together some of my trademarks and stuff from my most like models. I try to merge "Medieval texture madness" and "Lavender Dream". Well, time will tell.

Thanks a lot to Robert (Hellboy) for the printed wod parts that I used for the bridge.

The editing/picture is pretty bad in certain spots as I had a white background but replaced it with a dark one. Spots that are blurry because of the aperture are impossible to be edited cleanly as it's impossible to tell where the tree ends and the background begins as both blend into each other. So just do me a favour and don't zoom in :-)
