a minor french manor in what could be somewhere in france perhaps. with small courtyard entrance and ever-present fountain. surrounded by formal and informal garden settings with apple orchard, meandering pathways, reflecting pool and formal flowerbeds, lemon tree and gazebo.

ironically, i didn’t study anything but my lego pieces! i haven’t yet tried to reproduce a certain style in great detail, i usually just work toward getting a look. an architect or art historian may be able to point out mistakes and anomalies but i just like to build. i’m not sure i want to replicate anything which is why i haven’t tackled a “real” building or landmark. the creative juices flow more easily when it’s my ideas i’m trying to get down “on brick”. i have a lot of plans for the future, but really only just bits and pieces of ideas and i don’t know exactly what the finished product will be. a garden idea, a shared staircase idea, a building with a lot of wavy walls. i haven’t rebuilt anything yet but there is a moc i made called floating floors which i did quite a few years ago. i didn’t take enough photos to get the details and now they even look a little lame but now that my collection is bigger, i think i’d like to improve upon it. you can be sure they’ll be posted here when they’re finished! thanks again for checking out my work.
