[LDD contest] 3E-House

[Ophrys]

Hi, please find here my entry for the LDD contest

I wanted a house that shares several universes, not through spatiotemporal portals ;-), but actually on a real small surface. The three universes thus correspond to three elements: water, rock and organic/earth. In this house, you may live three experiences: under water, in a cave and in a tree. The main entrance is in the rock and discloses to the floor in a kitchen and a small shower. The main entrance also gives access to a terrace and then you can descend into the living room which is under water. Upstairs, past the shower, you take a small bridge to access the bedroom in a tree. There are also two other possible outputs, by the tree or under water.

The first challenge was to build on a 32 x 32 baseplate divided into 4 equal parts (16 x 16): the cave part, the underwater part and the part in the tree, plus a free marine part.

The second challenge was to produce a funny playable set compatible with minifigs, not too difficult to build, with a reasonable number of parts (here 1581 bricks) not too rare and relatively easily available (except a few such as the transparent parts). Because if I do not have the opportunity to currently build the model with real parts (I do not have the inventory), I do not despair of doing it in a close or less close future. As such, if other forumers can achieve it and post pictures, I would be very grateful. I also encourage others to do the rendering from the LXF file attached.

To enjoy the sea, don't forget to use the airlock. Check the air pressure before entering into the airlock after a bath, then well close the hatch before entering into the living room, and reciprocally.

Enjoy your stay in the three-elements house. And do not forget to feed the octopus.
