WHITE & GREEN HOLIDAY HOUSE

GREETINGS & HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

More work is still going on with the HOLIDAY TOWN project and more new buildings are being added almost everyday! One of the newer additions is this white building with green trim. Designed and built by brick artist PHILIP BUCHAN, this unit features cool architectural elements and a "tunnel" entry. Tunnel entries are infamous features of many SAN FRANCISCO row houses and are notoriously dark, underutilized spaces. Philip overcomes the darkness of a tunnel entry with this bright white and green color scheme, and as you'll see below, diamond shaped windows allow light into the tunnel entry and stairwell.

The wreath on the front was added by brick artist MITCH HIGHTOWER as a holiday adornment. These are easy to build using green 2x2 plates. Mitch decorated this wreath with red caps and a large red flower with a yellow amber transparent cap in the center.
