[MOC] Bauhaus Modular Building

[Sir Stig]

What bricks did you use for the record player? I am struggling a bit to see in the picture.

I like it. I think my favorite detail is the kitchen ventilation system. Its the combined elements of store, balconies and well placed furniture that really does it for me.

thanks a lot for your fantastic feedback @ all - glad you love it.

What bricks did you use for the record player? I am struggling a bit to see in the picture.

the record player is pretty basic, all you need is:

- 5 plate 1x1 round black (4 feet, 1 as antenna base)

- 1 plate 2x3

- 1 plate 2x2 round w/ 1 knob

- 1 flat tile 2x2 round

- 1 antenna

Hi - very fun project. I like the look of the house and downloaded your .lxf to see what could be done about the wall gap.

At first glance, I wasn't really sure what the problem could be with the gaps. Upon opening the file in LDD it quickly became clear what the situation is. The height to width ratio of bricks is 6:5, so you're either going to need more of your walls to be SNOT...or less. That part you're using - 6060 1x1x3-1/3rd arch - is "on the grid" when oriented horizontally. By attaching a brick to the bottom of it and then converting from THAT brick with SNOT back to regular building dimensions, you're offsetting the part by 0.2 brick widths.

I like using Jon Craton's 'Unofficial Advanced Building Techniques Guide' terms. A stack of 7 bricks are 168 LDU, as are 8 bricks on their side + 1 plate.

Your building uses a stack of 9 sideways bricks on the corner sections. I changed the height to 8, and tried to eliminate those buried parts transitions by placing sideways parts on top of a tile with no gap. This also makes the building 1 stud wider - which would be a cinch...except for the multiple flooring level on the first floor. You could make any number of design decisions. PM me and I can get you a copy of the alternate layout for the first floor.

Great work! The building is nicely done, with a nice architecture.

And you have put a lot of great details inside!

HI everyone,

don't mean to annoy anyone, but while (finally) brick-building my latest project "Modular Brick School" I thought to myself: 

"Ah what the heck, why not putting up my Bauhaus Modular on Lego Ideas already."

... which I did in the end.

So, if you like the building and/or already built it from the LXF file I shared on Rebrickable, please support and/or comment using the link below - it will be greatly appreciated :)

And now, off to finish off that school I began building over a year ago!

I love the detailed interior

Seems I've missed this last year. I'm a huge fan of the Bauhaus style, and you did a great job in recreating it in a modular building. Really dig the rounded corners. It seems the modular line takes a completely different direction recently, that's why it's especially nice to see an alternative modular with a strong and clear shape to it. The details are also very nice. Well done!

I think this is very nicely done. I agree about the kitchen ventilation being very well done.

Top-down photos are really bad at showing room details well; you should consider pulling it apart a little to get some closer-to-horizontal photos similar to this.

Beautiful interiors! The attention to detail is great.

[Withacee]

Okay, this somehow slipped past me as well.

What a great build.
Original design and great interior details.
The foliage is terrific, and I love that kitchen.

Keep clicking those bricks together!
