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.

This imposing structure is the Pinkerton Estate, a development of social housing which comprises two linear stepped blocks elevated on pillars above carefully manicured gardens.
Its vibrant coral colour marks it out as a distrinctive landmark within the residential district of town. The Micropolis inhabitants report that the development is a very pleasant place to live.

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.

Lemon Tree Condos is a block of luxury apartments in the residential area of Micropolis, with just two spacious units per floor.

The curious shape of this Micropolis block was inspired by finding three of the trans light blue curved windscreens in my parts drawers, which eventually became the balconies on the top floor. I decided a triangular shaped inner, thanks to finding another nexogon, with curvy edges would be quite ineteresting. I struggled for some time to come up with a suitable name for this one, but eventually settled on Trekantet Hus – which is Danish for Triangular House.
