This is a link to Frank Gehry's Venice Beach House for a surfer.
Isaiah's playground appears at the bottom of this picture, with the farmhouse in the background.
Building block challenge: between two hills of soft ground, build a farm-styled weekend retreat.
Isaiah wisely first shored up the ground by laying a foundation for his house between the hills. He then playfully layed segmented surfaces across the soft hill to reach the surer-grounded play ground to the left and out of sight in this picture.
Jenni's lego solution is great! Remarkably like Frank Gehry's Venice Beach House, Jenni puts an attractive and fun playhouse at the front of the lot, places the main house to one side of the house to let in plenty of light into all levels of the house, and builds three stories to create a roof garden.
