Virtual MOC Lever Court - Front — Virtual MOC Lever Court – Front

A few days ago I was noodling around with my 3D sketch for this build, but I decided to use LDD to flesh it out a bit more.

It’s now so far from the original model in Tom Alphin’s book that I feel justified in calling it a MOC.

I have expanded the 3D sketch even further, giving the build two side wings surrounding a central raised core. The upper levels are on the diagonal again, to give a bit of dynamism.

I would like to build this one sometime, I need to gather enough trans light blue bricks first, however.

3D Sketch: Lever Court

Saturday, 2nd December 2017 By Caz

I had another browse through Tom Alphin’s book, The LEGO Architect again today. This 3D sketch is an expanded version of the model he shows of Lever House in New York City, which was built in the Modernist style.

I like the elevated area above the columns but made the floors above so that they were sitting on the diagonal to give a bit more interest.

I feel there is more mileage in this one, so I might have another go at doing something with it in LDD, where I won’t run out of 1×2 trans clear plates to realise my vision! Watch this space.
