eliza Posted August 11, 2014 My newest modular is a small hotel with a New Orleans French Quarter look. The first floor: Three rooms on the 2nd floor with a shared bath: The top floor apartment belongs to the owner - Mr. Good & Evil. His secret lab is accessed through the bookcase. And the back... Comments and ideas are welcome! Thanks for looking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lightningtiger Posted August 11, 2014 AWESOME hotel design and the use of handcuffs is the work of a genius.......Brick On 'eliza' ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wodanis Posted August 11, 2014 Really love your use of the extra handcuffs into architecture. Looks like you had fun with this creation. why are there tiles on the second floor with the gauges? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AFOLguy1970 Posted August 11, 2014 Awesome job capturing the look and feel of the French Quarter! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timmyc1983 Posted August 11, 2014 Wow, amazing modular building. The detail on the exterior is amazing, front and back. As others have mentioned, brilliant part usage with the handcuffs and the ornate fence in general. The interior is really well done too! Well done and thanks for sharing! Happy building :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO Guy Bri Posted August 11, 2014 Fantastic build eliza! Very reminiscent of one of their many hotels. I love the details, especially the exterior and balcony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sithewok Posted August 11, 2014 That is awesome! Now I know something I can do with all of those extra handcuffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redhead1982 Posted August 11, 2014 Well done! My favourite detail by far is the delicate fence made with handcuffs. Great use of the piece. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CityBuilder Posted August 11, 2014 Neat old New orleans style building! I hope it has flood protection... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScotNick Posted August 11, 2014 Lovely design, especially the handcuffs and the other rods. This is simple but effective! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hobbythom Posted August 11, 2014 There is some really great part usage in your build. As mentio ed the handcuffs but I like the helmers for flower pots aswell. Good stuff! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZevesdroX Posted August 11, 2014 Wow that's amazing! Love all the details!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eurotrash Posted August 11, 2014 As others have noted that's an original use of the handcuffs piece. The front facade has some lovely greebling on it. Laissez les bons temps rouler! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cgarison Posted August 11, 2014 Very nice work. The detail on the railings is amazing. I also have been looking into doing a New Orleans style building, but I am worried that it will not fit into our town layout well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dignow Posted August 11, 2014 Stunning building all around - thanks for sharing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paostmo Posted August 11, 2014 Another great build. Very good all around, but you should be particularly proud of your use of handcuffs. That detailing really turned out nicely. The build as a whole reminds me of the video game Infamous 2, which is based on ..... you guessed it.... New Orleans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Venunder Posted August 11, 2014 Very good. I was thinking of something similar for my town. But your balcony detail is better than I was planning. Now I can follow your guidance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herky Posted August 11, 2014 Now you just have to get some girls on the balcony and guys in the street with beads for a truly authentic feel, empty beer bottles in the street or sidewalk...the back looks great too, have ended up in the back of a hotel in NO before, looked almost like that. If you haven't been to New Orleans French Quarter, well this is the next best thing, great job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eliza Posted August 12, 2014 Thanks everyone for all the great comments! why are there tiles on the second floor with the gauges? Pick-A-Brick. I needed tiles and the gauges were the only ones available the last time I was at the Lego store. I'll use them in spots that aren't seen from the outside. Very nice work. The detail on the railings is amazing. I also have been looking into doing a New Orleans style building, but I am worried that it will not fit into our town layout well. It definitely wouldn't fit in with many towns. I am still building my town layout so I can design around it. Very good. I was thinking of something similar for my town. But your balcony detail is better than I was planning. Now I can follow your guidance. Awesome... I'm glad you are inspired. :) Now you just have to get some girls on the balcony and guys in the street with beads for a truly authentic feel, empty beer bottles in the street or sidewalk...the back looks great too, have ended up in the back of a hotel in NO before, looked almost like that.

gifinim Posted August 12, 2014 I like the way you have kept the design relatively simple but still have plenty of really cool features like the balcony and the tiling on the ground floor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kristel Posted August 13, 2014 Love that wrought iron balcony and the fans! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
