F0NIX Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 (edited) I have built several building from my town Tromsø up to now in LEGO. It started with a strangly formed roof from our old cinema (now rebuilt to a library), just to see if it was possible to make in LEGO bricks. Found out that almost everything can be built in LEGO bricks :) Then I made a few other building from my town that had a special design; Ishavskatedralen and Polaria. After those I was hooked! Then I wanted to model a building with more details and made an model of really old cinema building; Verdendsteateret. After Verdensteatertet I was searching around in my town to find a new project. I have now decided to model two private residence in my town. Both building is built and designed by the same mason master that also lived some years in this particular building I am presenting here. The neighbor building, nr 16, I am going to build later, I'm just waiting for the parts to arrive. A fun facts here (that I just got after I started building this) is that these to buildings is designed by the brother of the designer of the old cinema Verdensteateret I had made a model of earlier. This particular building I am presenting here has not too much details on the outside, so I was concentrating on the windows and wanted to build them as accurate as possible. That resulted in a bit large scale. It is a bit larger than minifig scale, even if the interior is built in minifig scale... This is the most interesting view on this building. The corner window is one of the most interesting part. But I also had a lot of fun to try to make that roof and the drains. The other side of the building. The wire you can see on the left side is going from a battery compartment down under the lawn up to the LED in the ceiling on 1st floor. Since the building had so few details on the outside I tried to make more details on the inside. The owner of the house was so kind to offer me some sketches of the walls on the inside, so layout and the function of the rooms is close to how the real house is. Here are a few shots of the interior (click on image to see a larger version): More pictures of both the outside and the interior of the building can be found here: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/265080 Edited April 23, 2011 by F0NIX Quote
lightningtiger Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Excellent building 'FONIX', the bathroom and living areas are fantastic especially the flooring.....love that big wide screen panel too ! If it's based on a real house, a picture of the real thing might help our comments, thank you. Anyway, it's a wonderful house and keep up the great work 'FONIX' ! Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 What a lovely house model, even without the benefit of a reference image, I'd assume it's pretty accurate with the real house. The interiors look very cozy and comfortable too. Impressive work, and looking forward for your next project F0NIX! Quote
F0NIX Posted April 23, 2011 Author Posted April 23, 2011 Sorry for not presenting the images of the real building in the first post. You find more of them on the Mocpages link here: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/265080 There are even more detailed images of the interior on Mocpages. But I will put up a few here on the forum. This are from proximate same angle as the two pictures in the first post. Quote
The Yellow Brick Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Wow this is absolutely fantastic F0NIX, The size of the house is great, the interior of the house is really nice, cozy and welcoming. Quote
Locutis Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 That's a really nice MOC house. I like it a lot. Good job! Locutis Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Wonderful job recreating this house. Terrific details inside and out. A truly great MOC Quote
Legoless Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Absolutely stunning. Your rendition is fabulous but I am also really impressed that you've gone to so much trouble to model the terrain. That for me really brings the house to life, as well as giving it space and context. Love this and your other work (esp the arctic church). Quote
Trent Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 This is an excellent model - truly outstanding when you see it next to the real life building. Quote
Gregorovich Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Great work, FONIX! It's such a detailed and amazing build, and it looks just like the real thing. Well done, and thanks for sharing! Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Perfect proportion and beautiful style! Wonderful look and huge MOC! I like the entrance! Quote
F0NIX Posted April 24, 2011 Author Posted April 24, 2011 Thanx for all the nice comments! Now the pressure is up for making the neighbor building just as nice as this :) About the entrance, there is actually three of them in the building. One down in the basement, two on the first floor where one of them is the brown door on the long side of the building. The owner say that one is not in use anymore and is just an window in the office. The other entrance in the first floor also serve as an entrance to the apartments on the second and third floor.

Fuzzylegobricks Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Wonderful Job! I love the hill feel and work you have done to your house. Quote
Vincent Kessels Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 That is a beautiful house. All the details are spot on. Am I right in saying that it is a little bit bigger than minifig scale? Quote
F0NIX Posted April 25, 2011 Author Posted April 25, 2011 That is a beautiful house. All the details are spot on. Am I right in saying that it is a little bit bigger than minifig scale? Thanx! You are correct. As I said in the first post: This particular building I am presenting here has not too much details on the outside, so I was concentrating on the windows and wanted to build them as accurate as possible. That resulted in a bit large scale. It is a bit larger than minifig scale, even if the interior is built in minifig scale... I'm not sure of the exact scale as I don't have the measurements of the real building (yet). Quote
