Last week I doubled up with two full-block builds. This week I went in the other direction with something small and tall.

I really enjoy the idea of bold civic buildings and I love the architecture of athletics. Though a full stadium would be too big for my city, a big pool would be just about perfect.

Many of the buildings in this project have been inspired by architectural drawings and models that I’ve seen. This fantastic design is a simplified version of something that is being built in South Korea and the wild audacity of it really stuck with me.

This model started as a sketch. I had time to kill at my day job and spent some of it planning and mapping. What I love about this building is how different it is from everything else that I’ve done.

I designed this building a couple years ago. It’s been gathering dust on my hard drive, but I’ve always loved the wild colors and shaping on this model. This 52 weeks of Micropolis project finally gave me the nudge to build it.

One last pair of houses. I’ve reached the point in this project where I am starting to mix older models with new, and as such I needed one last residential module to round out a block.

As I finish up my fourth block of residential, I must say that I’m more than a bit creatively exhausted. I’m happy with all of my little houses, but even happier that I get to start building other things soon!

As my series of residential modules nears an end, I decided to revisit a house design that I came up with months ago. I’d built part of a cute little house, but before I finished it, I raided it for parts. Now I’ve finally finished it!

As much as I like building unusual houses, most houses aren’t that outlandish. This week I’ve built another pair of simple houses for my neighborhood.
