Why this model:

I wanted to design a model with a true holiday vibe, similar to what LEGO Paradisa theme gave us years ago, but with a different approach and destination. The Mediterranean was my first choice. I believe it will fit perfectly into many LEGO themes you already own, making a great addition to any collection.

Design goals:

My main goal was to create a holiday-themed model with fewer than 2000 pieces while keeping it packed with details. I focused on versatility, allowing for both open and closed-back displays, with removable floors for easy playability and access.

Inspiration:

The main inspiration for this model was Mediterranean architecture and landscapes, specifically from Italy, LEGO Paradisa theme and modern modular techniques.
