alois Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 In preparation for Legoworld 2015 in Utrecht (Netherlands), I wanted to get rid of the last set (Green Grocer) in my layout. So I had to build another modular building MOC. Because it would be the ending of a row of houses, I wanted to build a corner house. The style is quite common in the Netherlands for villa's from around 1900. The building hasn't (yet) any interior. And this is how it looks next to my other MOCs: Hope you enjoy it. See my flickr-account for more photo's. Quote
Dazz Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 The building looks great. Thanks for sharing! Quote
Agent 86 Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Really, really, really nice. I love seeing purely residential Modulars. Quote
BricksMcgee Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Lovely. Like the bay window at the side - nicely done! Quote
tkatt Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Great color combination. The rest of your buildings are very nice too. Quote
Legocity2713 Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Great build. Loving the balcony on the right side facing the front. NPU. That whole street you have going is phenomenal too, great work. :thumbup: Quote
Hobbythom Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) Great build, as always! Edited August 21, 2015 by Hobbythom Quote
SearchFunction Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) Very nice building. I really like the street too. Flicker account is amazing, I'm definately going to spend some time there. Edited August 21, 2015 by SearchFunction Quote
SwissBrick Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 At first sight I thought this was an inverted corner.. Very nicely done, I especially like the veranda and the shutters. It reminds me of the late 1920's villas of my town, very realistic! Quote
dr_sarcophagus Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Beautiful, you've captured the arts and crafts style very well. And you've managed the overlapping tile effect on the roof very well (particularly like the discoloured slate effect) Quote

CaptainToad Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 the build is awesome - pardon my laymans critisizm -but the rest of the street is brimming with life - crowded - but this villa looks as if it was meant to be positioned in a quiet neighborhood - still awesome stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
L@go Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 That's gorgeous indeed, I'm especially fond of the curved section above the front balcony. Looking forward to seeing this in Utrecht! Quote
Kristel Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 This building is just gorgeous and looks great in your layout! The roof and the bay window are my favourite details. Quote
peedeejay Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Lovely building. The proportions and the roof are just perfect! The mix of tan and olive green for the face also work very well together. I also like the bay window and the little garden in front. Quote
PaddyBricksplitter Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Very skilled building techniques. Looks lovely. Quote
Holodoc Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Great color combination. The rest of your buildings are very nice too. Nothing to add. Very well done! I just didn't have enough roof bricks of either colour Ouch. Never tell! Good details are always intentional. Quote
Venunder Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Wonderful house and street.. Full of lovely detail. :thumbup: Quote
Withacee Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) Another brilliant creation. Love the general design, the roof and the colour combinations of the walls. Nitpickingly spoken: since your street (best one I've ever seen, by the way, I've followed its development) looks to be typical of an Amsterdam "centre of town" street, the building looks ever so lightly out of place. But then again, Dutch cities are known for that. Keep clicking those bricks together (by all means, please do). Edited August 23, 2015 by Withacee Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Fantastic architecture! Is great to see this beauty with the other modular buildings! Quote

But then again, Dutch cities are known for that. A street in the centre of Amsterdam would have houses with more floors than in my street. My houses are more typical of a smaller town like Weesp or Doesburg. Then again, I just like to try out a lot of different architectures. So it's an eclectic street. Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Excellent build! Amazing effects - while using mostly standard techniques. Very well done! Quote
Loves Houses Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Very nice modular. I love the way it looks suitable as stand-alone and still fits into the row. The roof is very lovely too. Quote
