24 Advent Street

The most anticipated feast throughout the year is without a doubt Christmas. Thereby, children can look forward to Santa’s arrival by opening an advent calendar, one door a day. But what’s with the adults? They too want something to calm down during the stressful December days. Nothing is more relaxing than building and creating, imagining and thinking. That’s why I decided to give our adults a buildable advent calendar. Each day, they can build one twenty-fourth of a wintry modular building. With each part being connectable to the previous ones, they can see the house slowly growing – just as their delight of Christmas coming. One day earlier already, on November 30, they can build the baseplate to see the impressive dimensions their calendar will assume – just as children are allowed to open their calendar and see the depicted scenery. Christmas can come!

The tripartite building comprises an apartment for a family of mother, father and son, a little shop for winter sport equipment and a carport for a vintage motorcycle. In the adjacent flat, a wardrobe is located behind the entrance to 24 Advent Street, where a staircase leads to the above LEGO chamber, the balcony and the dining room with associated kitchen. Under the roof, a sleeping room lies next to the living room with its large fireplace. Can we already spot Santa coming?

The model consists of 2988 parts and 3 minifigures, so exactly 3000 parts in total. All parts exist in the used colors. The building measures 32 x 32 x 41 studs and weighs 2.8 kg, each individual room stands on an 8 x 8 studs-large basis.
