Posted May 4, 20159 yr Residential building with a historic name "House with lions". On the first floor - salon on sale of extra aged cognacs independent producers, with a small patio and a cigar tasting room (in an era when it's not much condemned by society). On the upper floors - residential zone. The interiors in the process of elaboration.
May 4, 20159 yr Interesting color combination which surprisingly works very well together! Nice building.
May 4, 20159 yr I especially love the upper two floors. The area above the main entrance looks like it would be cool for a piano bar too!
May 5, 20159 yr Oh yes, I like this one! A few pavement tiles and four technic bricks with a hole, and this would make a lovely modular corner building. Nice colours, and I love the arched window. The transparent blue glass might look to be out of place at first glance, but it does work nicely, in my opinion. As does the black ground floor façade. Keep clicking those bricks together!
May 5, 20159 yr Cognac and cigars ... my grandad would be right at home here! Love the upper part of the facade! The colours and the details are spot on. There are elements on both sides of the ground floor that I like, but I think they are clashing with each other. Maybe consider having both sides the same?
May 5, 20159 yr Lovely building, glad you went for the black on the ground floor. Otherwise the coulorsheme would be too much the same. Great creation of ambiance on the ground floor (a bit like an english pub) Looking forward to the interrior...
May 5, 20159 yr I really appreciate the exit out to the roof done the right way. The way official lego builds did it never sat right with me. Have you considered adding a water tower up there? Would add one more aspect to the roof that fits in with other modulars. I also like those lion heads. Good use of them. Edited May 5, 20159 yr by Alucard1977
May 5, 20159 yr The ground floor is not to my taste, but the upper two floors are really nice. The colour scheme and just the right amount of texture making it so interesting. The ground floor looks too dark, although it has some nice details. I'd prefer the side walls were symmetrical and more like the left side of the buildings. You did a great job with the corner, that's usually the hardest part if you don't go for a standard 90°degree angle.
May 5, 20159 yr This actually reminds me of a stake place I use to go to in NYC. Funny enough, it had a cigar bar as well. One of the very few places that was allowed.
May 6, 20159 yr Nougat/tan---can't go wrong with that combo Although it's purely a personal choice, I'd rather not have the top floor fully tiled, to keep it open for addons

For your grandad, as well as for you personally in the institution "House with lions", promise the best places for life, and unlimited number of brandy and cigars (of course without prejudice to the health) Although somewhere where Australia and Russia !!! Always admired your love of architectural details of facades, their brevity, and at the same time completion and expressiveness. Once, 2.5-3 years ago, I noticed that my children did not think creatively and creatively. Computer Games and tablets replace the reality. I gathered them all the Lego pieces and they tried to build a gaming town. As a result, it has evolved into what you see. 10 years later, when I retired, a sufficient quantity of Lego blocks, of the sets or through LugBulk (if sanctions not reach toys), buy a minivan, and I will come to Europe for the festivals with their Lego houses, palaces and other buildings . Dealing with all the topic of creativity, and not think about politics and finance. To drink cognac and cigars to smoke My first Lego house 2.5 years ago. Edited May 7, 20159 yr by ivanych
May 7, 20159 yr Wow, nice first house! I would not be caught dead posting my first lego building, it shall stay in the dustbin of history. You seem to have natural talent from the beginning.
May 8, 20159 yr Looking very nice! Would like to see it finished! Be sure to update this post when you do! ^_^ I would suggest maybe using other colors for your awning, because using the same dark red and tan as the brickwork seems very confusing to me
