Design Project: Lego High Fidelity

After building Market Street (item# 10190) I started to design several additional buildings in the same design aesthetics. I focused my research on Amsterdam.  

The first building started with a ground floor record store, with a recording/media studio on the second floor and an small apartment on the third floor. Finishing it off with a roof top garden. Each of the floors are fully furnished from computers, couches and beds to a mini

 kitchenette. The main focus of the garden was the lionhead fountain, with flowing water. 

In Process: Hero Box

This project is a future birthday gift for a friend's Son. The idea steamed from the thought that every little boy or girl (but boys more so) should have a secret box for their childhood treasures.

The piece is cut paper and wood. I'm trying to pay close attention to the edges and corners. The main box has 2 smaller inset boxes that will be given the same treatment, along with the interior of the box. I'm think once I finish the it I might antique the whole thing, giving it a old worn look before sealing it.
I have just over a month to complete the project and already have some items to place in the box to start the future owners collection out with.
