Presentation of the set:
Welcome to the Great Comfortable Home! Its
richly decorated facade reminds everyone in the City who is the richer. Inside,
you may discover many rooms that make the beauty of the residence.
On the first floor, guests are welcomed in the
great hall. Take them to the dinning room where they will admire family
treasures: the magnificence grand-ma’s clock and the bust of the grandparent
who went to the colonies to make his fortune. You will enjoy a delicious meal
cooked in the old-fashioned kitchen fitted with all the modern equipment. Do
not forget to feed the cat.
On the second floor, dad is enjoying the
fireplace watching TV with his faithful companion on his side. In need to
refresh? No problem, the bathroom is right across the corridor.
It is bedtime! Kids jump in their bed while
parents reach their bedroom on the third floor. In the morning, mum will spruce
herself up on her dressing table: all the cosmetics she needs are here.

Chinese fan, old hats, Egyptian parchments, rusty sabers, and a hunting gun. But

About the construction:
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.
