Livestock Lane – (BTT) It’s good to get away from the city once and a while, and this little farmhouse is about as charming as they come. Little details abound on the facade – especially nice are the sand green shingles on the top floor.

Working With What You Have

Remix Road – (BTT) When life gives you lemons you make lemonade, but what about when life gives you all the materials to make a Pet Shop when the blueprints call for a corner building? Well, faced with just that very dilemma, the construction manager of this handsome set of buildings decided to work with what he had, creating in the process something quite unique.

A Splash of Color

Bavaria, Germany – (BTT) Sometimes you just need to make a statement. Not that there is anything wrong with a neutral color palette, but being able to say you live in the bright orange townhouse certainly makes it easier for visitors to find you. The black and tan neighbor and white arcade with balconies above help bring balance to the composition, providing just the right amount of pop without going too far.

Cabin in the Woods

I’m always happy to see a log cabin creation. It reminds me of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and how much I want to go back! All the details are right, and I really like that chimney and truck. Good work!

Residential Revival

A very clean and sharp design to some residential homes. I don’t know what it is, but I’ve been finding a lot of models recently using rare, or fairly unused, colors…and they look awesome. Keep it up!
Oh and instructions for this building should be available at his website, Brick City Depot.
Enjoy!
*NOTE* I am aware of the new LEGO Modular Building (which is a Pet Shop!) being released May 10th. I’m sticking with the original rules and will be posting the official release only when it is available, if you want to see a picture of the set, head on over to The Brothers Brick.

Going Old School

After a little break this week, Brick Town Talk finally returns with this terrific high rise building by Shuppiluliumas. The architecture and design on this structure is phenomenal; not too detailed, so as to take away from the original look but detailed enough to come across as a real building. My favorite part of this is  probably the tan bay windows shooting up from the third floor to the cornice. It has a very appealing look to it. Check out the inspirational building for a side-by-side comparison!
