Amazing! So real looking! :D

Hello Dave, I posted the pictures of 1008 Mountain Drive, I tried to get as close to your original as I could, the landscaping is much different however. Thanks again for letting me try and duplicate your build.

This is an architectural masterpiece and a great built including all the details.

Absoubtly Fautless I Really Like The Swimming Pool When It Light's Up And Also The Drive Made Out Off 1X1

what?!? no TV?

Sounds great! Make sure to send me a link when you're done!

Hello Dave, would you mind if I was to try and copy this structure with a different landscaping and post pictures giving you credit for the build. Thanks

one word, Incredible, love it

Can't decide if I like the house or the 911 more.... ;)

That is the best house that I have seen on Mocpages! Excellent work and keep it up!

Hi there.. Is there anyway I could get the instruction for this MOC? I want to have it because I want it to be my dream house. Please? :)))

Fantastic in all aspects, easily one of the very best modern houses I have seen so far.

This is an amazing example of architectural modeling in LEGO. The accent wall, furnishings, and fixtures all provide a level of detail very rarely seen. Then the angles, curves, and slopes of the walls themselves - stunning. I can't believe I've not seen this before today.

Now, don't get me wrong, I really like this and it still has a 5/5 rating from me, but I personally don't like those red walls. Tan may have been a better option, or just more white. That's just my opinion though; you still did a remarkable job on this!

Not quite that far South, Dave. I live in Dayton, about an hour North of where you were. I guess I'm actually, more accurately, in Southwestern Ohio. I love that school, though. One of the few historical sites left to us humble Ohioans.

Over the counter wine glass rack!!! You're dating yourself Dave...Seriously, this is an excellent build. Great use of space and proportion. The pool is particularly creative. The boys and I love the use of the solar panels! And they are a bit jealous of the lights. Keep up the good work.

Best house ever!

Good job. I especially like the lighting in the pool and the landscaping.

Sorry for being late. Well, detective, there are countless parts, bits and areas that I enjoyed while exploring picture after picture and since they are countless, I'll not count or name them here. Be sure that you blew me away with this masterpiece. I remember you were talking about this quite a while ago (probably even a year) and I was afraid that you might had abandoned this project.

Tim, Absolutely. I'm glad that all the work I put into this is appreciated! What part of Southern Ohio are you located in? I went to Miami for undergrad.

Hello again, Dave. I must admit that I don't spend a lot of time looking at these modern architectural pieces, but I have visited this one several times now, and I would like to feature it in the future in the My Current Favorites portion of my page. Would I have your permission for that?

O.o

Beautiful!

Mouth open the whole way down.

Brilliant. Simply stunning. The detail and overall look is incredibly beautiful. I love it! The pool is great, the furnishings lovely and the car and those trees are brilliant! Amazing job in total. --Blast--

Dave, you didn't miss a beat man. Well done!

This is nuts! It's crazy how everything flows so naturally.

Very good

Amazing! The best is the swimming pool with the lights!

Great!

Great house, nice architecture.

Holly molly, this is amazing!

Wow awesome! Thats very realistic, and i love all the detail. Great use for the LED lights, especially with the pool.

I'm moving in!

Nice detailing! Awesome job here!

Beautiful work here Dave, looks spot on. :)

Wow. really great job! It's really quite a good job with all details and I agree that it does have a clean, straight look to it. Amazing work.

Thanks, but it didn't win. The Inn at the End of the World from the Eurobricks Pirates display took the prize with it's power functions waterfall.

Masterful. Congratulations on the much deserved trophy.~H

Beautiful work! It took you a year to build but it looks absolutely fantastic! Congrats!

Absolutely perfect. Built with love and care, and a good eye for proportion. I badly want to live there.

WOW! Amazing! Ive never seen such a unique way of using LEGO Bricks!

My girlfriend just asked me:"You want to buy this one?... -I said no word- But...wait... (she came closer) this is one made of Lego?!?" She remained speechless looking at the pics... So was I. I think there is no better comment for your creation. Mr Kaleta, this is truely beautiful. Like the others said: a piece of art. Thanks for your kind comment about my last ""creation""...

Absolutely outstanding work here Dave. I wish I had half of your talent. It's an honor to see this, and it's not even my fav. theme. Superb!

Never seen anything like this! It looks real!

What's the plural for Porche? hahaha

You know this reminds me of a Charlie Sheen movie from the 80's when he was playing a car thief that stole lots of Porches... Cool build!

ravishingly beautiful!

Very well done, lots of interesting architecture and furniture!

This is absolutely the most fantastic LEGO house I've ever seen! It's so inspiring!

Fantastic build. The details are stunning. Love the curved wall and the 'wing' roof design.

superb use of our beloved bricks

excellent

Very inspiring! So many great little details in the MOC, I keep finding more as pore over the pics! Wish I was in Kindergarten again :)

A gorgeous model, I feel I could dive straight into that pool, beautifully lit inside and out, immaculate and so realistic !>.....amazing, well done

I whole heartedly disagree that there are no white roofs. Living in Arizona, I can assure you they are everywhere! They became popular in the 70's and a lot of the homes in the Phoenix and surrounding areas are chock full of homes like that. Just sayin'. :P

This is a terrific model! It's so neat and cleanly designed. The pool in particular is a favorite of mine; it's easily the best LEGO pool design that I have ever seen. Everything else, from the interior to the vegetation is, top notch! P. S. @Chris I used to landscape around modern houses...and a few of them actually had white roofs ;)

Stunning job, Dave, and it was great to see it in person. These pictures, though, highlight some of the details that we couldn't see at Brickworld. You're the first person I've seen to use the 1x1 round tiles with the 2x2 round tiles to create cobblestone, and I'm sure you won't be the last. But that swimming pool sure takes the prize for best technique in the model. I also appreciate the break from minifigure scale. It allows you explore some of the shapes in different ways. I'll stop rambling now. Nice work all around!

Mark, as I've had to do some of the same scaling back as you (though not nearly on the same level), your comment really means a lot to me. It's nice to know that this community supports the work of others, even if they are absent from time to time. ~Dave

Well done Mr. Kaleta! It was really cool to see this at Brickworld. The pics also give great insight on the awesome interior which couldn't be seen as well while on display. Great work!

Ben, Thanks for the kind words, they mean a lot. Unless you're in kindergarten (specifically, my classroom) Dave will do just fine. ~Dave

It was awesome to see this in real life, Dave! (Do you prefer Dave or Mr. Kaleta?) Anyways, fabulous job on this. Not only is the design of the house wonderful, but its amazing how you managed to make it look so realistic. The angles of the house are very smooth and fit perfectly with the straight walls. The stone chimney as well as the red wall compliment the white walls nicely. Not are only are you a great builder, but a great designer as well. Keep it up!

Thank you for the lights! I need to make use of them more often when projects turn out like this!

Wow, incredible details on architecture, landscaping, interior & photography. Simply amazing!

Chris, you're probably right that no house has a pure white roof. One of the things I was considering in this build was that there would be incredible solar-gain due to all the glass. My solution was to limit some of that gain with cantilevered overhangs and a white roof (a real technology http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/30/science/earth/30degrees.html ) You're right though, I probably could have thought this through more thoroughly.

Simply gorgeous. I love the modern look you were able to achieve on both the exterior and the interior. The water on the pool looks fantastic and I love how you illuminated everything, right down to fireplace mode. What really stands out to me on this MOC is the stone path outside. Adds a certain unmistakable realism to your work. Well done.

Beautiful! I want to live in that house!

A bit late in commenting here, but I wanted to wait until I could take the time to give this the attention it deserves. Just LOVE this one, Dave. Beautiful design work, and the detailing is killer. Your works are always nice, but this one is particularly stunning to me. Great job!

I really love this building. It has a very modern look and yet reminds me of one of those swanky designs you'd see in the 70's where people were thinking wide open spaces and porn mustaches.

Very cool build Dave!

I have seen this creation before, maybe on FlickR or something, I remember not. Anyways, now that I also see the lighting, I am amazed. But that fire light seems a bit too red... There is a more apropriate LEGO light piece for that -http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?colorID=85&itemID=80552

best Lego house ever, first house in Lego, ive seen, that i actualy wanted to live in, the pool effect is brilliant, and with the duck upon, then you really get the feeling of theres water down there, brilliant and beautiful

Whoa...This is so extremely cool I am speechless. Awesome job!

Amazing house. I love the pool and driveway...well done.

Ha! Well as you know (and I probably should have mentioned) I spent the first 2.5 years of college studying architecture before I became an educator. In fact, the whole reason I got into architecture was that growing up, people saw my Lego builds and told me that I should be an architect! This is probably the closest I'll ever get to designing a house.

For a kindergarten teacher you sure have a knack for designing houses. Simply delicious house. A year well spent.

Sheer awesomeness. The pool is fantastic.

The best house design on MOCpages, bar none. Lovely in every way, and incredibly well thought-out. 5 stars : )

Brilliant! I love all the details, and of course the lights are great too. 5/5

this is an amazing house, the lawn chairs and table for example are excellent. The lights are great, just an amazing MOC all around! 5/5

So happy I got to see this in person at BW but I gotta tell ya, the pics are AWESOME! Never got to see the light up stuff while there and that is a real eye catcher! Just great stuff man... great stuff. ~ Chris.

Amazing modern house, you should definitely make more.

Great job getting that modern feel into this.

I think that the only reason this has so few comments is because it had to of been added like a minute ago. this thing is awesome, more detail in this than in all of my creations combined!!! cant wait for more creations like this

Wow, amazing work! The level of detail is incredible. Also, you mentioned how the floatie got a lot of attention, is it not funny how that happens? At BrickMagic we had a monkey in our display that got more attention than anything else :P

Awesome! The light-up effects are a really nice touch. ;)

Haha, thanks, but there are many more active AFOLs out there... when I'm done with grad school though, look out, because I have another MASSIVE project in mind!

The ultimate eco bachelor pad (complete with a 911). Dave, I can't remember if you were eligible for AFOL of the Year, but I am kicking myself for not nominating you. You and all the contributors have inspired us once again.

An architectural masterpiece!

Lovely house. The idea for the 'tiles' at the bottom of the pool is wonderful. I also like those touches of red. (I once saw a red leather English design sofa at the room I stayed in at the famous "Madonna Inn". I have looked for one like it but can't find one as stylish!) This house/setting also reminds me of some of the houses you can find tucked away up in the Hollywood Hills! Just lovely! :)

I need to get to the interior of that and build some furnishings. Now that I've learned some new techniques from this project, I think I'm ready to go back and finish that one off!

Amazing.

Absolutley fantastic Dave! I love all the curves and smooth interior! Just brilliant :) And I was just wondering, did you ever post that Cafe/Restaurant Building that you were creating when you came down to London?

Just magnificent.

If I could miniaturize myself I'd love to take a walking tour of 1007 Mountain Drive! Hey maybe I could spend a week there? Are you taking reservations?

That is an amazing house! The landscaping is perfect, from the gravel to the cobblestone pathway. The swimming pool is also excellent, and the house looks very modern! An amazing MOC!

Beautiful! The casual elegance depicted here is flawless, from the landscaping to the building to the pool you nailed everything. The light functions really add to the appeal, and I especially like the pool lights. Great work!

Pretty slick, Dude! Looks great!
