The second floor is the main living space. The third floor is the bedroom and a roof deck. HEY! Where is the bathroom?

Notes and Details: Many of the pink pieces in this sculpture were purchased by artist Trick Richey from vendors on an auction web site, (Ebay). Most of the pink bricks, including the magenta roof slopes, came from a "Pink Brick Box" set available directly from the manufacturer, (LEGO Item #5585, 216 pieces, $14.99 retail price).

Philip's ORANGE BUNGALOW

Image above shows the ORANGE BUNGALOW design. Images of actual mid-century bungalows were used as a reference when designing this brick sculpture.


Above; We see the back side of the building which features an attic balcony.


Above: This side of the ORANGE BUNGALOW "property" has front landscaping and a back yard flower garden. A white "turntable" and other specialized brick parts were used to create the garden sundial.
