[MOC] The Centennial Building

[Elysiumfountain]

In the regrettable absence of my physical bricks until the end of the year, I've had to occupy myself with rendered builds. I present to you my newest build, The Centennial Building! 

Unlike a lot of my previous builds, this one is based on an actual building. It's heavily influenced by the design of the Old Nassau County Courthouse in Fernandina Beach Florida. I lived there for a year long ago and found some of the architecture there to be fascinating! 

 

 

As one of my friends pointed out, you can tell it's a digital model because half of those sand green roof pieces don't exist in real life! 

An interior shot of the upstairs of the building. I reused my chandelier design from the Glacier Falls Lodge here. 

 

My favorite part about this build is that it hinges open, allowing for ease of access into the build itself. 

 

The total piece count for this build is 2,960. Originally, when I put it all together, it was around 3,590, so a lot of the exterior cladding and some of the smaller parts had to be sacrificed. This is because this build is now active and gathering support on LEGO Ideas! If you would like to pop over and lend your support to it I would be very grateful! The link is below:

So there you have it, everyone! The Centennial Building! Thanks for looking and brick on!

My goodness that is a beautiful building Elysium! Can't imagine what the 3,590 total parts build looked like but this is absolutely gorgeous while still adhering to the Ideas piece total restrictions. Fantastic work.
