Hi all,
some weeks ago I finished my model of the Le Corbusier House in Stuttgart
Weissenhof Estate form 1927. Now the website is ready and pictures are
available at brickshelf and mocpages:

The real building was already build in 1927 but it still looks modern or even
futuristic. The arcitects Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret built this house
as their idea of a new living and housing concept.
The Weissenhof Estate in
Stuttgart still shows several houses form the exhibiton in the late 20’s.
I decided to build a model of the Le Corbusier House because it has that
clear linear design approach you can see at the facade, the layout and
especially at the windows. Ok, it was easier building a model of such a
cubistic building rather then building models of more old-fashioned
architecture like the Frauenkirche. But it was still a challenge to get the scale right. The whole
model is moreless based around the main window bar for which I have used
several panels in transclear:
The ground layout of the building are multiples of square with 12x12 studs.
The model is build modular so it will be easy to transport and you also can
see the inside:
The main area of the bigger half of this twin house is fully detailed with
the bathroom, the kitchen and the multifunctional big room which was used
both for day- and night-life (sleeping).
All levels of the building could be accessed by a minifig using the stairs in
the two staircase modules at the rear end of the house. Due to the hilly
landscape of Stuttgart the main entrances of the building could be reached by
long stairs at the outside of the building. In the old days vehicles were not
as common as today so the architects decided not to include a garage
underneath the building ...
Have fun with the pictures of the real house and my LEGO model!

Gorgeous as usual! The curved wall by the entrance is nice, and the interior
floor with the small tiles looks fantastic. I love to see the insides of
buildings completed. The matching of real and Lego views is a great way to show
all the details you’ve captured.
Keep up the awesome work!
