COTTAGE BLOCK

Image above shows a "block" of cottages. Were creating building for our HOLIDAY TOWN DISPLAY which you may have read about in other BRICK TRICK BLOG posts.

COTTAGE BLOCK

This posting features images of eight cottages we've designed and built here in our FOG CITY brick studio the past two weeks. We plan to do more, using as many different colors as we can. As you can see, right now we have a red and black cottage, one in cream and hot pink, a small commercial unit in pink and maroon, a cool turret-roofed yellow two-story cottage with a garage, a green design with steep-pitched roof line, a powder blue mid-century inspired row house, a classic white building with black trim and the cottage that started it all, the SUNNY YELLOW COTTAGE at the end of the block.


Image above shows the powder blue cottage which has a basement and diamond-shaped windows created using inverse roof slopes. The roof is covered with more than 200 aqua blue transparent caps. (Designed and built by Philip Buchan).

Below the green cottage, complete with a balcony and a roof-top sun deck has dozens of green transparent cones creating "railings". (Designed and built by Philip Buchan).

Above: This bright yellow cottage has a garage on the first level and a turret-roofed porch at the top of the entrance stairs. (Designed and built by Philip Buchan).

Above: Using a small collection of cream colored bricks and arches, this modern unit also boasts a hot pink bay window and has red transparent grills covering the roof as "tiles". Next door, (to the right in photo), is a pink building, with maroon "awnings" and green trim. We think this unit looks like it might house a nail salon on the first floor commercial space. A tiny studio apartment is at the top of the pink stairs. (Built by Trick Richey).

More postings featuring each cottage, additional images and details will follow in the coming weeks.
