o0ger Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) This is a house where people meet and hang out, watch the latest indie band, record a demo, paint, or just grab a cup of coffee in the café. Welcome to the LEGO City House of Culture! ------------------------ The house is built on 2x2 Moduverse plates. (64x64 studs). About 4000 pieces. I've been wanting to use the big wing part as a roof for many years. But it took a contest (as always) to complete this project. I started sketching in LDD in april 2016 and began building it about a month ago.

Huaojozu Posted January 29, 2017 Great modern style! Any chance for interior pics? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
imvanya Posted January 29, 2017 A very good-looking building! Very modern and quite unusually shaped, but the subdued colors complement it nicely. And the use of airplane wings piece is NPU if I have ever seen one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peedeejay Posted January 29, 2017 That's a nice a clean design! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just walls. 2 hours ago, imvanya said: A very good-looking building! Very modern and quite unusually shaped, but the subdued colors complement it nicely.

I just wanted a clean modern building. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Littleworlds Posted January 29, 2017 Looks very cool. I have to say, I didnt recognize the airplane wings, so great use of them! I like the concept. Its not something you often see made in Lego and the execution is great. Also fun to see a punk hanging around the place as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Venunder Posted January 29, 2017 Very good apartment or office building. Great use of the Airplane wing. I may have to steal the idea for a future MOC...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkhorse00 Posted January 30, 2017 Very clever use of the airplane wings. Love how it blends with the facade of the building. Nice build up of minifig scale chess set. Awesome work man! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Man with a hat Posted January 30, 2017 Wow. Very nice building and brilliant use of the aircraft wing. The surroundings are also very well done. The benches and the bus stop especially. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarrisonWells Posted January 30, 2017 Wow, that looks amazing. Great use of the specialized plane wing piece. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReplicaOfLife Posted January 30, 2017 Very cool, and npu with the wings! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theycallmemrdarko Posted January 30, 2017 Wow, that looks great! Love the wings for the roof. The giant chess board out front is awesome, good job all around! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not something you see that often in LEGO Mocs. I also wanted to keep it clean and realistic. Glad you like the punk. When I started to build the chess board the idea of a punk came to me. I think it's because I associate that to a character from the Millennium book series, Lisbeth Salander, the punk rock hacker genius badass :D. In the book "The Girl in the Spider's Web" Lisbeth beats some guy at chess just to break him down mentally before she interrogates him. I guess that scene just stuck.

LegoSjaak Posted January 31, 2017 The house is looking very good, but the point here is the use of those wings..that is for sure... brilliant!! Was it your own idea, or did you borrow the idea? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was it your own idea, or did you borrow the idea? Thank you! It is my idea to use the wings as roof. I got the idea in 2013 when I first bought the two wing-pieces for another MOC. I just sat there with the two wings in my hands and started thinking about other ways to use them. A roof just seemed obvious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zork Posted January 31, 2017 Also obvious for me, using the wings as roof. At least when I saw it in your MOC Congrats, very well done! What is your next project? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Zork! Well, my next project is (probably) either a mech or a sci-fi micro city. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have to admit, I haven't read the books (or watched the films), but from what I heard and saw, she is an amazing character. Alone the style and having an actress who really pulls it off - very cool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
