My LEGO®-related Rambles

Today’s Micropolis block is an upmarket development of flats called Femkant Hus – that’s Danish for five-sided house!
It is a development of social housing in the residential district. Each block is built around a pentagonal courtyard which has pleasant landscaped gardens all around the plot.
The blocks are supported on piles which maximise the space which is dedicated to the gardens. There are well-manicured shrubs and several ponds in the grounds.

After showcasing my full Rainbow of Monochrome Habitats recently, it’s now time for some Micropolis. These are the Sky Pod Apartments, which are holiday rental properties very popular with visitors to Micropolis, especially the ones which are higher up! Each cantilevered pod have a great view across the city and the block is placed conveniently for all the local ameneties to be close at hand. It’s the perfect place for a vacation!

My latest Micropolis build, called The Wave, is a pair of halls of residence for new students at Micropolis University. Each floor has several rooms set around a communal kitchen an living space, to give the students a welcoming home from home feel.
Originally the two blocks were both facing in the same direction but this made the build look a bit boring, so I turned the larger block through 90 degrees so that its “wave” is crashing in another direction.
The underside of the cantilevered structures have been landscaped to give a sheltered space for outdoor events – and probably a few raucous student parties, no doubt.

Grayson Rise is a development of six luxury apartments situated in an upmarket residential area of Micropolis. The spacious apartments are light and airy, and their large picture windows give access to views across a wide area of the city. The striking cantilivered structure is built on alternating split levels to afford each apartment more privacy. The block is set among communal gardens at front and rear, which the concierge service ensures are neatly kept at all times.

I haven’t built anything for the residential district of Micropolis recently, with my last few models being industrial, offices or leisure based. So this block is called High Cross, which accommodates a total of nine large apartment, one on each floor which is set at right angles to the one below.

This is Kiwi Court, a block of residential flats which I build a few weeks ago. Each cantilevered floor sits at right angles to the one below, while the different heights of the two blocks adds some visual variety.
