Hi! Here is my entry for the Micro scale category. This is something more than a house: it is a palace... a model of an existing one! It is situated in the south of my country, Italy.

From Wikipedia:

The Royal Palace of Caserta (Italian: Reggia di Caserta, Italian pronunciation: [ˌrɛddʒa di kaˈzɛrta]) is a former royal residence in Caserta, southern Italy, constructed for the Bourbon kings of Naples. It was the largest palace and one of the largest buildings erected in Europe during the 18th century. In 1997, the Palace was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, described in its nomination as "the swan song of the spectacular art of the Baroque, from which it adopted all the features needed to create the illusions of multidirectional space"

I visited it many years ago and I guarantee that it is really spectacular!

I made a micro scale version which is 29 studs large and 30 studs long. Because of its small scale, I omitted many details, and this obviously makes my construction look a lot less spectacular than the original Palace; however, it is almost proportioned.

Here's my bourgeois red-brick city villa. It is roughly based on the Model Town House 4954, or rather Yeon Man Choi's mini version of it. I'm usually not that much into building micro scale, but I hope it's competitve enough anyway. Click on a thumbnail to get a bigger picture.

bourgeois_red-brick_city_villa-01.thumb.png

The car is an adaption of the Street Speeder 6743. Dustbin and downpipe are located next to the front stairs. The front door is flanked by two ancient lanterns. Note that the palm trees are made of plumed / feathered headdresses (6029b), which unfortunately do not exist in green in real life. An Indian Feather (30126) represents another sort of shrub and does not exist as that colour as well.

bourgeois_red-brick_city_villa-02.thumb.png

One wall is overgrown with ivy. Hopefully not the poison one.

bourgeois_red-brick_city_villa-03.thumb.png

The roof and the chimneys indicate that the house is presumably from the late Victorian era.

bourgeois_red-brick_city_villa-04.thumb.png

The roof overhang of the main building is not repeated at the garage. So maybe the garage wasn't included in the beginning, but added later, when cars became more popular.

bourgeois_red-brick_city_villa-05.thumb.png

The whole house including garage fits onto a 8×16 baseplate.

On this closeup you can recognize the shelf located inside the garage.

You may download the LDD LXF file here. Post comments and critics in this thread please.

Here is my entry for Micro scale category. It is iron cast building heavily based on beautiful Singer building (NY).

I love Singer building and other iron cast building because they are beautiful, they have nicely detailed facades, big windows, and airy open spaces inside, making it a great place for studio like appartments.

It is kinda big, almost 30 studs tall, but it is less than a minifigure scale, so it should qualify for micro scale category.

For my entry, I decided to go for the whole package. Not just the house, but also the surrounding grounds.

The house is of a round design, with large overhanging roofs and an internal garage. The garden is divided into areas that each have their own function.

This is the streetview of the house.

101.jpg

The next four pictures show different sides of the house and the areas of the garden.

Here is the drive, with parkingspace for multiple vehicles just outside the frontdoor. If you go to the right of the waterfeature you will get to the garage.

102.jpg

This is the lawn. A great space for the kids to play and if you like a little more privacy, there's a separate area just to the left, where you can find some peace and quiet.

103.jpg

Exit the house through the large glass doors and relax on the patio. Or go for a dip in the pool and then lay back on one of the deckchairs.

And if it gets too hot, you can take shade in the poolhouse.

104.jpg

And then there is the hedgemaze. Challenge your friends to see who is the fastest to get to the tree at the centre. The maze is part of the hedge that lines the inside of the outer wall. Some parts of the hedge protrude into the garden to separate the different areas.

105.jpg

Finally, a topview of the house and it's surroundings.

space_elevator_01.png

I designed my micro dreamhouse. And unlike most other houses, this one is located in SPACE! This house can be reached by Shuttle, or ofcourse by the elevator itself. Onboard are all the modern standards for a house, and even some small gardens (the large white bubbles) for relaxation and some ammounts of oxygen.

Here is my entry to the Micro contest: A modest golden house with impressive postmodern architecture when you only take a closer look to the details, like the red roof top.

This build was based on nothing in particular. I just thought I'd have some fun and try something new. I have never built in micro-scale before, and I think this turned out pretty well. Behold the mansion!

This is my entry; it is based on some ideas I had about an ideal house, I work in microscale rarely but I think it came out very well.

OCEAN PERCH

This dream home complex features breathtaking 360 degree views. The mainland features easy access parking and storage. A quick ride across an aerial cable car brings you to the main living quarters built into a giant rock spire.

A large wind turbine and two solar power arrays provide electricity. The small building at the base of the living quarters contains a water desalination system and waste management. A small dock provides the perfect platform for kayaks and other small vessels.

An automated lighthouse warns passing ships.

My dream home is the Lake House.

lake_house_1__t-brick.jpg

The architecture is modern style using lots of glass and wood to create a comfortable living atmosphere. The lake front features rooms open to the sun and with great views. Additionally there is a deck right on the lake shore with a boat bridge.

lake_house_2__t-brick.jpg

The street front windows are a bit smaller to give some privacy but there is a generous entrance area. The straight lines of the architecture are loosened by different angles, edges and balconies.

lake_house_3__t-brick.jpg

The model features full interior design with rooms and furniture on three levels. The upper level contains the master bedroom and a guest room, additionally two bathrooms, several terraces and a big hallway with plants.

lake_house_4__t-brick.jpg

The main level shows among other things a big living room and cooking area as well as a study, including a black piano. :classic:

lake_house_5__t-brick.jpg

In the basement there is place for cars, another guest room, a living room with access to the lake terrace and a big entrance area.

I had a lot of fun building this and hope you like it, too!

To see how it's build or to build it yourself you can have a look at the LXF file. Have fun!

Here's my dream home - Ocean Vistas - in micro scale. It's a minimalist home, built on the side of a cliff, nestled amongst the trees, with endless ocean views from wherever you are the house. There's also an infinity pool, surrounded by a deck, and a black HSV parked outside.

Here's my entry for the competition and also my dream home.

It's located in the old city centre of the fourth biggest city in The Netherlands: Utrecht. The city where I currently live.

The building stansd along one of the canals in the city (Oudegracht).

You can see a reference picture by clicking here. I think it's obvious which building I build.

My dream home would be located on a hillside. Overlooking a valley and mountains in the distance. Probably somewhere in the Alps. Like Austria or Switzerland. The most beautiful views on earth are in the Alps. Warm in the summer, and lots of snow in the winter.

The house would be a scandinavian, functional design with wood, concrete and glass. I would have a large basement to store all of my LEGO.

My dream home is that kind of baroque architecture's building, you see below. It's a (my) manor house and I'd really like to live there.

I imagine to have plenty of rooms with high stuccoed ceilings inside. Outside a large garden (in this case limited to 30x30 studs :wink:)

with trimmed hedges and of course a fountain.

With my entry I focused on the execution of the exterior view. So I did no interior which especially is caused by the complex construction

of the facade respectively the doors and windows. Anyway - I hope you like it though!

First of all I give you some LDD screenshots of the model. I think I can also uplaod some renderings the next few days.

Edit: Here are some renderings of the model:

Hello everybody,

after I finished my main entry for the contest, I decided to build also a quick one for micro build. It's nothing overwhelming, just some random "contemporary" design, but could go "nuts" with tiles, which was quite fun.

Here the pictures:
