My latest project was a small-scale house; and Australian, California-Style bungalow. I found a picture on the internet and modelled the building from there.

It is difficult to get the scaling completely right in Lego, because if you work off minifigure scale you end up with slightly more squat buildings than in reality. I find roofs to be particularly challenging, as Lego gives you the choice of 25 degree or 45 degree slopes. What is really necessary in this case is 35/40 degrees. I opted for the 25 degrees.
Here is the result.

I think I have captured the essence of the bungalow.

| Looking down one side |

| Back |
I had to use some artistic license here - I had no idea what the building did at the back, so I added a little patio.

| Inside |
I decided on a two bedroom - one bathroom arrangement for the house, with a living area at the front, and a kitchen/diner at the back.
Now all I have to do is decide on what I am going to build next :)
