MOC: Ågården - Swedish summer house

Recommended Posts

My parents own a summer house, close to the small town Katrineholm, Sweden. The house was, when they bought it 8 years ago, in very bad condition due to that it stood empty for several decads. However, today it is in better condition.

Anyway - I just had to build this house in LEGO!

To make the model fit in one of IKEA's vitrine products I tried to create it in a as small scale as possible (but still in a size which makes it possible to recreate the windows in a good way).

I think what I'm most happy about with this creation is the choice to use studs on the roof - I think that creates a great contrast towards the smooth walls.

You are able to find a reference picture of the real building at the end of this post. :classic:

When the regular slope-parts (http://www.bricklink...asp?P=3040]3040[/url]) are attached to each other you don't achieve the 45 angle I was looking for. So instead I used a combination of http://www.bricklink...asp?P=3040]3040[/url] and http://www.bricklink...p?P=92946]92946[/url]

Could this building be built in an even smaller scale? Sure...

Comparison - which one do you like the most? :classic: (The big one consists of appr. 1400 parts, the small one 300).

This is what the real house looks like:

Both of them are very faithful renditions of the original and you're right about the studded roof - it definitely contrasts with the smooth walls. That's an interesting design for the chimneys and I can see why you chose to do it that way.

I like it a lot. Thanks for sharing it with us!

Hey! I was expecting a little cabin, what a huge summer home! You really did it justice with both builds.

Nice work. Both the micro and mini-scale houses look nice. I'm impressed by all the SNOT work - the chimneys and the corners of the house.

Lovely builds both of them! I love the angles of the roof in the larger model, very cleverly done in both models though. I too love the corners of the house and the great use of SNOT throughout the build!

Great work and happy building :laugh:
