Posted June 5, 20177 yr Hi, This model of a modern Finnish wooden house was built on commision as a birthday present for the owner of the house, located in the woods in Finland. The model was built in "half-minifig scale" (doors are two studs wide) in a LEGO Architecture-like style to reduce cost and complexity, as the birthday boy was to receive the model as a lego set and build it himself. All pictures on Flickr The model was re-designed over several iterations to simplify the build. Finally, the model was carefully taken a part, taking pictures of each step and corresponding bricks in the process. The pictures would go in to a photo book to provide instructions for the model. All bricks were divided into bags corresponding to the different steps in the instructions (foundations, walls, roofs etc.) Several pictures from all angles as well as original architectural drawings were used for the design process. What do you think of it? All comments are welcome. Esben
June 6, 20177 yr Nice. I wish LEGO would continue the groove onto the sides of the masonry bricks, they'd look so much better at corners.
June 6, 20177 yr What a lovely gift! You really invested quite some time and effort into this, and that really shows. It turned out beautifully.
June 10, 20177 yr What a nice model of a very pretty house. Maybe I should build something like his for my dad. He's always talking about retiring to Finland.
June 10, 20177 yr Wow, very nicely done. I've played around with houses like this but never came up with anything this nice. Love it.
