Silesian architecture (II): farmhouses and stable

This is now the second part of the Silesian housing project for the new tabletop. The farmhouse is a standard type from lower Silesia with one floor and the top floor - I chosed two alternatives to be able to place them in a group with the barn and some stables.

 See in the following the references I found by my researches; noticeable is the fact that Silesian villages were not organized as a spatial arrangement, with streets, lanes or squares as defining elements.
We can find more less easily grouped conglomerations of one and the same type of house, surrounded by gardens and open yards. The only joining element is the main street, conneting overregionally the village with its environment. The composition of this villages is a set of uniform buildings, trees and hedgerows, without a center or a regular pattern - that´s so interesting.

And this is the (unfinished) stable in the typical brick tradition:

The dunghill isn´t still done..

View from the back: the opening is just an invention to have more possibilities for wargaming...

front view: the typical bows in brick.

I hope I will get my fur mat soon to do the base for all this stuff. Some more buildings are planned, then I will do some variations for Silesian village examples. In the meanwhile I will build some hedgerows.
