Today’s cutting-edge cars can chop carrots, spontaneously combust, or embroil you in a culture war, but there was a time when the American automobile symbolized a big bright, beautiful tomorrow, and the showrooms for these atomic-age chariots were cathedrals of cinder blocks and glass. Architectural builder Andrew Tate takes us back to that swingin’ chapter of Americana in LEGO with the glorious Lunar Motors showroom. Andrew captures the playful geometric style of the era with the angular profile and the dramatic inclined window. I especially love the perforated facade on the sides of the entrance. Andrew demonstrates his usual flair for brick-built lettering on the sign.

Andrew’s showroom includes a fully detailed interior with lovely wood paneling, patterned walls, midcentury furniture, and a sleek ’60s roadster. I can practically smell the future.

Andrew is no stranger to Atomic Age architecture. We also loved his striking bowling alley and swell airport lobby.
