Pate-keetongu Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 I posted the block I in May, here's the first one. This consist of eleven modular buildings in style of early 20th century, with mostly Art Nouveau/Jugendstil architecture and some bits of historicism and revival styles. The first one is built in November 2015 and five first ones (seen on the couple of last pictures here) were posted in April 2016 with the name New Century Corner. Due to sheer size of the block (128x96 studs) the building are shown in groups of few neighbouring houses - I was not able to turn it around in my balcony photo studio. House of the Golden Frogs (published before), House of the Sword of Justice and House of the Firefighters Union... ...followed by Scala Arcus, Corner of the Honour of the Empire and House of Sunrise... ...and by House of Sunrise, Domus Lupus, House of Two Whistling Geezers (previously posted). And to refreshen your memory and complete the block, here's New Century Corner: House of Two Whistling Geezers, House of Two Sisters, House of the Bat-Lord and Three Sinners, The House of Secret Society of Aviation, The House of Golden Frogs. And some extra shots: There's more background information about this on my blog Cyclopic Bricks, including information about inspirational buildings. The block is on somewhat-permanent display in Vapriikki Museum Centre in my hometown Tampere, so it can be enjoyed in real life by everyone. Quote
JopieK Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 You did a marvelous job there! Captures really the style from those times! Quote
Eggyslav Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 Very nice, It's like Edwardian Era meets Steampunk and High Fantasy, I love it! Quote
Bricked1980 Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 Just fantastic. I really love this building in particular. I really love the colours you've used on this one and all the details like the dogs above the door. Great work! Quote
Nick Wolfe Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 This is incredible in a super impressive way! I love the domes on New Century and the Firefighters, and the statues like the geezers and lady liberty justice. The facades are all so elegant and as a whole the block looks stunning! Quote
Digger of Bricks Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 This is still absolutely one of the most glorious series of architectural creations my eyes have beholden so far, and it still continues to keep me awestruck with every new addition! If I had to choose my favorite installment in this latest lineup, it'd have to probably be the Sand Green and Black House of the Sword of Justice, particularly for its usage of those Black arch parts on its center upper-floor window.

peedeejay Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 Beautiful! Every building has it's own unique style and looks very different from what you usually see as modular buildings. Very inspiring! Quote
J and J LEGO Creations Posted August 1, 2018 Posted August 1, 2018 Amazing, the details and how well it comes together! Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 Just amazing, I love the smart use of the old windows! Gorgeous building! Quote
