The Unofficial LEGO Builder's Guide starts at the very beginning, assuming no prior knowledge on your part.
ULBG-RC-003
Draw your inspiration from real shops, banks, and schools. Study windows—how many, where placed, how far apart. Look for details you can duplicate to add realism.
ULBG-RC-040

mind-and-cognition

Your choice of bond patterns will vary from model to model. You won't always want to use overlapping—sometimes you'll stack bricks, other times stagger them.
ULBG-RC-024
Real height ÷ Scale value = Size of scale model. So to figure out how high the house should be in minifig scale, divide its actual height by your scale value.
ULBG-RC-025
Most people don't have enough bricks for minifig scale, but just about everyone has enough to build a microscale version, which requires far fewer bricks.
ULBG-RC-049

work-as-meaning

Don't let the right parts stop you. Try building one from bricks alone to match the shape, or use other colors to come up with your own version.
