Micropolis Monday: Another Masonry Trio

I don’t usually design my Micropolis modules to complement each other, but the last few have been quarters of a cohesive block of mostly old-school masonry. This final module is another trio of various brick buildings, each with their own character.

front

I really like how this final group has come together. For two of the buildings, I used similar color schemes as other buildings in my block, but with slight variations in the accent colors. I also tried to make sure that they all appeared to be from different eras.

back

Around back, they leave a little courtyard that will connect with the free spaces in the neighboring modules. I like how these three colors look together and how the slight variations of height play against each other.

plan

In plan, we can see the different footprints.

As is my habit, I designed the module on a Twitch stream last Friday night. About thirty minutes in, I got raided by another streamer and I went from a single viewer to somewhere around 20. It was fun having some questions in the chat and getting to talk to someone other than myself.

This was a great series of modules, but I’m a bit drained of ideas for this kind of small masonry building. I’m already looking forward to something a bit bigger and more modern next week.

Keep building and enjoy!
