New LEGO Architecture model by 'The LEGO Architect' author in November Brick Loot

[henrysunset]

I am really excited that the Brick Loot team gave me an opportunity to design a model which was included in the November Brick Loot box.  I jumped at the chance to expand on the narrative I started with my book 'The LEGO Architect' by creating a new model that explores a recent trend in Architecture.


LEGO Architecture model in November 2016 Brick Loot subscription.

The model I designed explores contemporary architecture trends, emphasizing projecting volumes, angular shapes, glass, and mixed materials. I call the model “@ Home”, because the front facade has a curving yellow shape that looks like an “@” sign.

Coincidentally I just referred a parent to BrickLoot yesterday, they were looking for a monthly build box for their kids. But your model seems to be more adult focused (subject matter wise) - do you have experience with BrickLoot and would you say it is more for AFOLs than for KFOLs? Don't want people to sign up for these thinking their kids will have a blast only to get "professional" builds that leave their kids frustrated due to complexity and lack of interest in the subject matter ....
