One key feature here is the base dimension of 13 by 13 studs to support the 1 brick-width middle entrances, and the slightly narrower pyramid shape. I utilized many 1x2 and 2x2 jumper bricks to achieve the half-brick step widths. But since that part is not yet available in that color, I stuck with the slim look as the other towers have.

The main tower's original design featured an upside-down 1x1 round brick with fins in tan to symbolize to characteristic protrusions from the tower's core. The domes were intended in dark gray but had to change to light gray to get the parts. The tower domes are realized as minifig microphones through inverted 1x1 round plates with a hole. These details were the finishing touch which also got me to make this model a reality.

One special detail I only added months after the original design was the addition of the stairs, with the formal main entrance featuring both a stylized set of the huge stone pillars of the founding masters, as well as the bronze statues guarding the stairs.

But I felt that the overall shape was a better match to resemble the original building (considering the relation to the brick width). They stick a bit out instead of being flush with the base footprint.

Likewise, I had to divert a little bit on the protrusions of the main entrances. I wanted to capture the shape as closely as possible, but soon discovered that my scale of choice didn't allow for some details like the double dark stripes on the sloped sides. I've always liked the design of this iconic building in Star Wars and its humble, yet elegant feel, fitting for the Jedi Order. It is my first MOC after rediscovering LEGO as an adult, and is inspired by the LEGO Architecture Sets.
