What a luxury house might have looked 100 years ago!
With thanks to the following fellow creators for many, many reasons:
The inspiration behind this Idea is twofold.
Art Deco Style circa 1920
A Lego House in minifig scale.
Historically Lego has made some amazing houses, but I believe that many fans would now enjoy a larger scale home to build using techniques and scale more akin to the Creator Expert/Icons series. It's also in an Art Deco style of design. I'm a big fan of the buildings, interior design and fashion of this movement.
(You may have noticed my other Art Deco Idea in my profile.)
The build comprises of 2710 pcs. According to the Stud.io program I used 610 different types of brick in 42 colours. Approximate dimensions are 40x26x25cm or 48*32*32 in studs!
I have tried to capture the feel of Art Deco without custom stickers but if this makes it all the way, the potential for some really striking visuals is massive. I wanted to make this achievable using standard bricks in (mostly) available colours.
In terms of techniques, there are a couple of nuggets here but essentially the Idea is in a simple, but (hopefully) visually engaging style.
This build is compatible with Creator Expert or Icons modular buildings but from an architectural point of view is in dramatic contrast to this existing line. So much so that I think it would make a great solo display piece for fans buildings and architecture.
I also deliberately went for a vertical opening method as this lends itself to a differing display style and most importantly so you can easily get minifigs in and out to play with the build!
There are a few Easter Eggs in this build, just for fun. Deliberate anachronisms for the period of the build but there to offer a modern-day twist! Kudos to anyone who can spot them all!
