Both of these designs were used in Oruleon Monastery<\/a>, but could work well in a variety of settings.<\/p>\n

The window starts with a couple 2×2 bricks in white along with a jumper plate and four long bar.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The black 1×2 bricks are necessary with this window design, as you will see later.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Next some plate with clip are added, along with a few basic white plates.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After adding one more brick, two plate with ring will fit over the four long bar.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And the two 1×2 white plates shown here will continue the white 1×2 columns.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This three piece assembly is the key to the window design.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The black 1×2 technic brick allows a 1×1 round plate with hole to be centered over the plate modified with ring. And you can pull the half pin out just a touch to get the depth to match.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then a 1×4 arch fits smoothly over the top of the window.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Generally the technic halfpin is invisible, giving the illusion of a floating round plate. As pointed out earlier, this design only works with black bricks behind the window. Though with a three stud thick wall\u00a0 you could replicate the window design for interiors.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

All of my roofs for Olureon Monastery were similar to the setup below: 1×2 slopes at the ends topped with cheese, and cheese slopes on top of the regular wall.The design works just as well with buildings that aren’t six studs wide.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To replicate a terra-cotta roof, I used dark orange 1×1 round bricks, 1×1 tiles, 1×2 plates, and 1×2 tiles. Each section of roof also needs two 2×2 plates, as shown here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

By overlapping the 1×2 plates and 1×2 tiles, you can easily make a roof despite the limited parts available in dark orange. The 2×2 plates are used in place of a 1×2 plate on the bottom row of plates, two studs in from either end.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Those 2×2 plates are what hold each roof portion in place.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then you can cap the roof with more 1×1 round bricks, and a 1×1 tile or two if needed to make the spacing work out.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Quite simple, and we’re certainly not the first to use a design like this. Hopefully this allows you to make some excellent terra-cotta tile roofs of your own!
\nPlenty of other colors would work nicely in place of dark orange as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So there are two designs that we’ve gotten several requests about. Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
