I originally designed this house for an architecture class I took last year.
You can see renderings I did for the class here: http://home.cwru.edu/~bxl34/retreat.html
And a paper model here: http://home.cwru.edu/~bxl34/model/
Enjoy, and please LMKWYT! (Criticisms, comments, questions, etc)

(...) Bram, Wow, what an original MOC, I like it. I don't think I've seen a MOC anything like it before. The only minor quibble I have is that the studio area could be bigger. Thanks, George (23 years ago, 26-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.build.contests)
(...) One word: Marvelous! The design is innovative, and the way you were able to capture the feel of the model and sketches in Lego is amazing. I am not a big fan of "modern" architecture, but this building is spectacular. Henry (23 years ago, 26-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.build.contests)

Amazing! I was just skimming through here for Blacktron contest entries and decided to take a glance at this - I'm normally a space fan, but this work is awesome! The curves, and the detail in stair well. Very nice work! ~ Tom Bram Lambrecht (...) (23 years ago, 28-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.build.contests)
(...) Bram, your studio is what Le Corbusier might have reached if he hadn't all those problems with the sea. (Ok, so that was a poor joke...) Very nice. It is incredibly elegant. Is it minifig-compatible? Pedro (23 years ago, 28-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.build.contests)

(...) through. I gotta make it short this time around, so: I liked your building a lot and especially how you made the circular wall work. The furniture is suh-weet! The colors were a bit bland, tho'. I like all your town stuff and this is one of (...) (23 years ago, 2-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.build.contests)
