HOLIDAY TOWN • MID-CENTURY ROW HOUSES

Above: More additions to the BRICK TRICK HOLIDAY TOWN.

Greetings!

The HOLIDAY TOWN continues to expand. Recently added structures include the three mid-century row houses shown above. The inspiration came from actual SAN FRANCISCO homes built in the early 1950's, not unlike the one where some of the BRICK TRICK artists reside themselves.

In the photo we see three brick house sculptures. From left, the WHITE and YELLOW home, with arches and a lion head above the front entrance. This sculpture was designed and built by brick artist MITCH HIGHTOWER. The building also has a bump-out front window and high interior ceilings on the second floor. The interior is furnished and has a built-in LED LIGHT so the structure can be "lit" at night.

The center building, a bold lime house was designed and built by brick artist PHILIP BUCHAN. Philip used the digital design software provided by the brick manufacturer to create this building as a computer rendering first. Philip likes to work from photographs of actual buildings, and keeps a reference folder full of pictures of houses to use as inspiration.

The building in the right of the image is also the work of Philip. The bright orange home features a balcony above the front door and operable windows. This bright color is actually painted on the exterior of several big city homes in SAN FRANCISCO.

More HOLIDAY TOWN additions will follow.
