I wanted to create a big modular home with tan bricks and a black roof. First came the idea to use the black modified tile from collectible minifigure series for the roof. I made a few tests to be sure it would be strong enough and that I would be able to put windows. When it was okay, the roof gave me the depth of the building: 18 studs.

Then I started to build the home, floor by floor. On the front, I used a lot of golden pieces and try to add many details to have richly decorated building. The back is a lot simpler as it’s not seen from the street.

Once all the walls were built, I furnished the home, room by room. I tried to put as many details as I could in each room to give the home an historical background and a family life.

I decided to put 5 minifigures in this set: a dad, a mom, two kids (boy and girl) and a nanny, plus a dog and a cat. I used neutral faces as a tribute to the first modular buildings.
