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 :-)

The colours were inspired by a book I saw a few years ago; a black and white house with red bricks. So my motive is different but it's pretty much the same idea:

it's meant to be kind of a cover for a crime story.

That tree took me maybe half an hour. Easy and fun. The house was much work though. I left some parts open in the back so I have still light shining through but it's pretty much solid and has 4 walls :-)

I figured out a striking technique for the roof using chain links but in the end I just left it blank using open studs. I think somehow it works here because it empasizes the smooth curves.

I finally could use all the red flower parts (4 on a spruce) I bought years ago and it turned out I didn't have enough for a large tree. Therefore I used other parts as well an mixed some techniques but those 4 on spruce part are still the best :-)

It's also actually the very first time I used black and white for a half timbered house. That might sound trival, but using another colour usually means you have a totally different part selection. Fortunaltely it's the other way round with black. All the parts I usually need for half timberes patterns are there and also tons of other ones. I tried some half timbered techniques in the back I haven't used before. Also experimented with strings connected to studs but didn't use them. Also weapons might be useful and interesting for half timbered stuff.
