 | | Multi-story buildings - story height —John Gramley

| | | I've been wondering: what is a good story height for multi-story buildings? I just bought two two-story sets - Fort Legoredo (6769) and a Train Station (4556), and interestingly enough, have differing story heights. Fort Legoredo's is 6 1/3 - log (...)

| | | | | I think part of the story-height equation depends on the type of building you're working on. AFAIK a six-brick height is pretty standard for most official models, which tend to be utilitarian in nature (gas stations, police stations, etc). Something (...)

My (currently) largest MOC, the Bloodstone Inn, is of slightly varying design with stories. The first story (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jun-00, to lugnet.build)

| | | | | | (...) I think it has more to do with the height of the doors and windows TLC is currently using. When everything was built with 5-high doors and windows, the storey height was 6 bricks. Now that many sets have the new 6-high doors and windows (why? (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jun-00, to lugnet.build)

A story height of 6-7 bricks, not counting the plate or baseplate that serves as the roof [all of my multi-story buildings are constructed so that each floor is detachable, except the base, is detachable, allowing access to the inside] is the (...)

| | | | | | (...) Thanks for the input, everyone. I definitely seems that 6-7 is the norm, officially and unofficially. Unfortunately, that means I have to some serious thinking about my original plan, which was 9-10. I was just using 10 (including floor (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jun-00, to lugnet.build)

I've used a height of 8 in my largest building - a 7 - storey apartment (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jun-00, to lugnet.build)

| | | | (...) For office buildings I use 7-10 bricks per floor. Real office buildings are a minimum of 9ft + 3 t = 12 feet per floor which is about 8 bricks. Residential dwellings are shorter of course. KL (24 years ago, 20-Jun-00, to lugnet.build)
