Lego Architecture

Ok, I know I'm a bit late on this one seeing how the Lego Architecture series was launched in 2008, but I love it!  And now they've introduced a couple of Frank Lloyd Wright buildings to the line!  These would make a great addition to my miniature building collection!...

"The LEGO® Group and Adam Reed Tucker are excited to bring you this new line of distinctive landmark building sets. Our hope is that this will inspire minds of all ages whether you’re young and eager to learn or young at heart and simply intrigued by these modern day marvels. The idea behind LEGO© Architecture is to celebrate the past, present and future of architecture through the LEGO Brick."

St. Bartholomew's by Maxim Velcovsky

I LOVE the St. Bartholomew’s Church that was redesigned by Maxim Velcovsky, especially the Verner Panton chairs with a crucifix cutout of the backs... 

Brooklyn Townhouse Renovation

I absolutely love this place!  "A Brooklyn townhouse gut renovation retained the historic 19th Century detail, yet introduced modern conveniences such as high-efficiency central heating/air-conditioning while giving expression to the sensibilities of this fashion designer/sculptor couple and their young son."  Renovation by Levenson McDavid Architects.
