Hello everyone!

Here is my entry to the Bricklink Designer Program series 11

"The Cartographer's Workshop"

This time, I invite you to visit a place where maps from all around the world are created and stored. Right here, experienced cartographer shares his charts and knowledge with ship captains, sailors and travelers. Thanks to his dedicated work, their journeys become safer and the paths to their destinations are much clearer.

"A lady once visited this place, carrying a very old map. She received it from her grandfather, who had been trying to reach the place indicated on it for many years. Seeking help, she came to the Cartographer's Workshop. The man working over there gladly agreed to check his chart room for any clues.

At the same time, several individuals were plotting to steal the map. Rumors say they are descendants of the crew of a legendary pirate ship that once hunted the world's oceans. Will they succeed in obtaining the precious map? Will the map's owner discover the truth about its origins and where it leads?"

The building includes:

- "Chart room" with a vast collection of maps.

- Cartographer's desk where maps are drawn and studied.

- Hidden compartment in bookshelf and floor for the most valuable documents.

- Removable part of the wall for more playability options.

- Staircase leading to the upper floor.

Second floor:

Around the building:
