Christmas Gift Idea: The Advent Calendar

Entering December, many have prepared their own respective wishlist – what to get, who to give.

One of the most beautifully made Advent Calendar this season comes without many elaborate details. The facade is a regular London housing street, with their arched entrance, the slim windows and thousands of bricks – all hand drawn to the last square. Tied together by both the minimalist color palette and a bow, the 24 ‘resident doors’ is revealed inside,
