Here is the “The Bumble Bee Building” I have been working on for a few weeks.
Now that I am building with Lego, I have to use my B/F's collection and this
time black and yellow were not being used for his latest space ship, so
that's what I had to work with. And being I like heavy colors and high
contrast, it was not a problem.
I started with just fiddling with the pieces and this form started up.
Alternating yellow, black, and using many windows... it was apparent to me
that it wanted to be a bumble bee building. As I was building it I kept
thinking to myself "what is it?” "A school?” "A warehouse?” "Barracks?"
I settled on converted warehouse for a art studio and gallery...
Anyway, here it is...

This is my second building, so let me know what you think and perhaps let me
know any oddities in my design.

| (...) Looks great Sara. It's a very striking building. Would look great in most any display. It's nice that all four sides have detail.

| I like it! It has a very earthy feel to it. It gives me a sort-of Frank Lloyd Wright feeling. The interior it really cool as well. Its good to hear that there is someone else that builds the building first and names it later. I almost never know (...) (23 years ago, 1-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.arch)

| Even though I feel weird responding to a post to lugnet.build.arch, I'm going to do it anyway... ;-) Sarah, that building looks sweet! I really like the clean design. The stairs are cool too. BTW this is one of the few LEGO buildings (aside from (...) (23 years ago, 1-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.arch)
