Artsand House MOC is a flirt with brutalism. A modern home with art gallery, spa and large bedroom with a garden view. Quadrangular concrete house bodies meet organic nature. A dog is waiting for the owner to come home.
In August 2019 I displayed some of my houses at the Kloss på Kloss exhibition in Hässleholm, Sweden. A visitor asked me if I didn´t have any brutalist houses. I said no and explained that it probably would be too boring. It would be hard to create the dynamics needed to make a modern house MOC interesting. After the exhibition I started thinking and decided to give brutalism a chance. Not purist brutalism, but rather contemporary architecture flirting with brutalism...
I'm a huge fan of Shannon Sproule and this is my version(attempt) at his "Gand Heavy Transport". Not exactly the same, but all credit goes to him. If you aren't following him, you should be.

I came up with the idea of creating diorama of mages dueling within a alchemist’s laboratory in October of 2024. The Frost Wizard was already built when Brickscalibur came around with a similar category. I then built the Flame Witch and entered the two models in that competition just for fun. The end goal was always to place them in a large diorama along with a cowering Alchemist and their familiars. I had lots of fun coming up with things to place on the shelves and creating the Chimera trophy over the fireplace. I even added a microscale version of my Mesusa’s Lair model from last year as an Easter Egg.
Lilium Eco House [WIP] is named after the lily flower. It is an eco-house with solar panels on the roof, large windows facing south and west, vegetables growing in the conservatory, high levels of insulation and daylight and material absorbing the warmth of the sun. Yet, it is a comfortable house with open social areas and modern design.
Orange Beach House MOC is a comfortable hide-away by the sea. It's a split-level house built directly on the beach. The idea of sandy cliffs and ground terrace with a small pool came to me first and then the rest of the house emerged along the way.
Downstairs you find a livingroom, bedroom and bathroom. Upstairs you find a calm room with sea view, kitchen and study. Fully interiored.
The building technique used to create the beach was new to me, but I think it turned out well. I used lots of curved slopes...
The building process is further described on my Instagram page (@betweenbrickwalls). Link in bio.
White skyscrapers are rising from the cloud shaped island. Many people. Not so much space. Air tube transport. Glass and greenery.
Vintage Gas Pump
Here a cool project I made with my friend Martin Chauvette for a LUG contest, it was a really fun collab to build this kind of thing. I don't usually build in this theme but for this MOC, it was an imposed theme,: GARAGE". So, we made an old fashioned Gas Pump.
13" Length
7" width
26" high
Over 4000 parts... we just lost the count!!!
Approx. 8-9 hours of build!
Built using the LEGO Mustang, Voltron, and parts I had lying around this moc is inspired by instagrammer @fryewerk
Lego Louvre
LEGO model of the Louvre. This is a modified version of the LEGO set 21024. This representation more clearly displays the public space and glass pyramids associated with the museum.
The Louvre is the world’s largest museum of art. Located in the heart of Paris on the bank of the river Seine. The model features the prominent Pavillon de l'Horloge and the iconic, once controversial glass pyramid designed by the renowned Chinese-American architect, I. M. Pei.
Model built in February 2016.
This is a LEGO MOC model.
In the future a new earth-like planet - named Ademis - is discovered. A group of people with different skills is sent to Ademis to live there and examine the pre-conditions for a larger colony to be established.
This is a health care module with a garden passage, examination area, treatment room and surgery room.
My previous MOC Part I is a habitat example module. My aim is to build further example modules to visualize the various functions of the colony.
About one year ago I published pictures of this MOC for the first time. My first modern home. Since then I've built many and it has become "my thing". A couple of days ago I looked at my old photos of Green Rock House and wasn't really satisfied with them. That is the reason I now publish some shots with better light setting.

Green Rock House - a build based on a vision of a sustainable and modern home close to nature.
Green Rock House is divided into three parts connected with hinges and technic pins. The roof of each floor can be taken off.
The house has full interior with a living room, kitchen, bedroom, music corner, bathroom and gym.
This past weekend I celebrated my 18th birthday. This meant crossing the threshold between a TFOL to a full-fledged AFOL, or Adult Fan of Lego. In March of 2006, I created my first account on a Lego fan site, the since deceased Minifig Customization Network. From there I was introduced to the incredible online community of both minifig customizers and Lego builders, and began to fill my own Brickshelf page. My first few years online were mainly spent sculpting helmets and custom pieces, and drawing decals in Photoshop and Illustrator. It was Lego that pushed me to teach myself such programs, as well as develop an interest in Photography. In 2008 I would travel to Seattle to attend my first Lego convention, BrickCon. Since then I have traveled across the country to five conventions over the past three years, meeting some of my closest friends and participating in huge collaborative builds.
This past June I graduated from High School, finished my last cross country and volleyball seasons, earned my Eagle Scout award, and will be attending Brigham Young University in the fall. As an admission essay, I wrote the following;
1. Describe any special interests and/or passions and give examples of how you have developed knowledge and/or creativity in these areas.

By the time I started high school, it was clear I wasn’t destined to be a typical teen. Teenagers are not supposed to play with Lego. But, like the tiny plastic bricks themselves, something clicked inside me and building with Lego became much more than child’s play. Lego bricks became my medium of choice as I began creating intricate works of art and engineering. To my surprise, I was far from alone. As my landing craft, troop transports, and apocalyptic vignettes began to receive praise and publication in dozens of blogs and websites around the globe, I connected with the AFOL Adult Fan of Lego community, a talented group of artists and engineers who've reimagined what can be done with these deceptively simple bricks. When I attended my first “BrickCon” in Seattle, Washington, I met many of these inspirational builders face to face for the first time. Since then, I’ve been lucky enough to travel to numerous events from coast-to-coast displaying my individual works and collaborating on large-scale projects. With each experience, I've further developed my talents and my sense of self. Typical teen, or not, I’m a conceptual artist, building the world as I see it, brick-by-brick.
I don't know what I'm planning to do with my Lego when I get to college, but I know that without Lego in my life over the past 5 years, I would not have gotten to this point.
