The Adobe House (or Mexican House)

Recommended Posts

The iconic southwestern style house now in LEGO form!

This whitewashed adobe flat-roofed house is a classic example of so-called Southwestern architecture.
Adobe had been in use by indigenous peoples of the Americas in the Southwestern United States, Mesoamerica, and the Andes for several thousand years. You can still see these kind of homes in Mexico and in the southwestern of the United States indeed. It's packed with all the details and features you'd expect to find in a house like this in the middle of the desert.
The house is a visual treat, covered with nice details, from the use of printed 1X1 round tiles on the protruding ends of the logs to the plant-covered arbors that provide shady spots on the flat roof. The use of woodgrain tiles above the windows and doors adds some welcome texture amongst the white. The set includes eye-catching floorings reflecting the designs of Central American cultures. Don't miss the chile ristras which hang next to the doors, the wrought-iron lever fountain and the Aloe Vera plant.
The adobe house features a complete interiors with two floors: the ground floor with the living room, the bedroom and kitchen. Furthermore, on the left is the stable for thoroughbreds.
Hope you like it!

Brilliant. Everything is included and well detailed, even to the wooden beams sticking out the sides of the walls. Your succulents collection is quite innovative as well.

Thanks!
Actually this is the brick-built version of the Mexican House I submitted to Bricklink Designer Program Series 4. If you want to have a closer look at the interiors too click here: Adobe House BDP.
