Too Cool for School

Los Angeles, California- (BTT) For kids and teens in a hot weather climate, nothing is more refreshing on a hot summer's day than a swimming pool. Not only is there no salt to get in your eyes, it's private, can be accessed all the time, and you can swim AND snack, all at the same time. With this great pool deck scene, Katie (eilonwy77) has managed to fit in all of the feelings of summer into a beautiful little package. The curved wall, pool raft, multi-level deck, and great trees all come together to make this vibrant scene one of note!

Brownstone Brickwork

Nyhavn, Copenhagen, Denmark- (BTT) In the same fabled land that the Lego brick calls home, is a beautiful city called Copenhagen, with a world-famous harbor called Nyhavn. The beautiful, colourful, and aesthetically pleasing buildings line both sides of a large canal, with the oldest dating back to the 16th century. This beautiful building would look at home in Nyhavn, or New York, with its brownstone architecture. The Legoland-style windows are a fresh idea in the land of modular buildings, and give a certiant character to the build.The front walk seems to be welcoming you in, with the frogoyle keeping a watchful eye.

Under Construction

Men at Work- (BTT) You know you hate the dust and reduced speed limits, but construction is a necessary evil. You wouldn't want the building that you're reading this in to fall down around you, would you? No. But, construction doesn't always have to be ugly. Just one look at these modified modular buildings shows how good it can look. The modified Grand Emporium, with  bar, rooftop gallery, expanded toy store (Now stocking Lego!), and cafe doesn't missuse the larger floor plan. The growing Fire Brigade, meanwhile, has incorporated another floor, complete with balcony, and what looks like a new garage, under construction. We'll keep you posted on the progress of this project!

19th Century Office Tower

Now this is what I'm talking about. MOCpages user Jonas James writes this:

This design incorporates the use of light and dark contrasting to emphasize form and conceals roof structures with a decorative crowning parapet.

And it works perfectly. Great building, can't wait to see more!

Police Precint

I've had this creation by Nathaniel Brill bookmarked for quite awhile and only now have gotten around to posting this. Put simply, it's awesome. It's clean and solid, and captures that old style architecture not seen too often nowadays. I'm thoroughly jealous of his collection of dark red bricks, and equally content for their good use. I think what also made this so successful was the angle of the shot, it's usually not easy to take good photos, but this turned out excellent. This MOC could easily be a set for TLC.

Keep it up Mr. Brill!
