Some places are like time capsules of who we were in a certain place and time. Our first apartments, those first forays into independence and adventure, can be especially important to us as time passes. This next custom Playwell Bricks set is one such set. This client approached the Playwell team to commission a set of the house where he and four roommates lived during their university years.
It’s All in the Details
To bring this set to life, the client pointed out which aspects were the most important details to capture. Like any design done to scale, some details have to be sacrificed, so it’s important for clients to let the designers know which ones mean the most so they are preserved. After all, the client’s goal was to build this set with his old roommates, leveraging the experience to create even more memories with his friends, so it needed to be faithful to their memories.
Designing the House
Playwell Bricks designer Tim Howell was tapped to bring this design to life. “As a former architect, I always enjoy designing models of buildings and homes,” Tim says. “For this particular design, I worked with several images of the exterior and interior provided by the client.”
Tim explains, “The exterior of the home is fairly simple, but did have some detailing at the front entry that was fun to recreate in the model. At the interior, the client specifically requested that the furnishings and items in several rooms be included – it was a bit challenging to fit everything at this scale.”
Happily, it was a challenge that Tim met, earning high praise from the client, who let Playwell know, “The project has arrived safely and in excellent condition – I’m pleased with the final product! It’s been a pleasure collaborating with you and the team throughout this process. Please pass along my thanks to the designers and everyone involved and I look forward to working together next time!”
