PINK CONDO TOWER


Above: A front view of the PINK CONDO TOWER designed and built by BRICK TRICK artist Trick Richey.

PINK CONDO TOWER

This doll house style structure, (that means the back is left open for interior access and play), features seven full floors of space, including retail and apartment units. Designed in a grid-like or cubist format, the color scheme includes three shades of pink in contrast with glossy black bricks. Some units have balconies and pink transparent glitter brick windows. The building was constructed on a 16x32 peg base plate and stands about three feet tall. Two retail spaces and a lobby occupy the first floor. Floors 2 through 4 are divided into small apartments. Floor five is a large apartment, floor six is 2 smaller units and floor seven houses the penthouse.

REMINDER: Enlarge the images simply by clicking on them.

Above: On the first floor one of two retail units is the FLORIST.
