With this building I wanted to create a single-color house and instead of colors using a lot of structure on the facade. The building can be opened at the back and when fully opened, the two parts of the back expands the facade on the front and it becomes a 64 studs wide building. On the ground floor there is an architecture office and above that a large apartment. About 9700 bricks. Computer rendering but only existing bricks/colors were used.
Barrel vault for roof still not done yet, but station is almost 7 feet long and more than 3 feet wide.
UPDATE: The "wagon wheel" window has been replaced by something much better.

The left section showcases some intense damage. An intact version of it would probably look like a large window over the two storeys of the building, only separated by the dark tan stripe.
This project was equally focused on modern architecture and believable damage. That sort of focus has already been the leading theme of my Raid diorama and it once again proved to be a fun thing to make. I also intended to work primarily with slightly less common colors here, namely a lot of dark tan and dark orange. The base is 24x32 studs large.
The Lutheran Baroque church was completed in 1743 after a mere 17 years of construction. The dome, measuring 26 meters in diameter, was – and still is – the largest brick-built dome north of the Alps. But in relatively recent years, the building has become famous for a tragedy that affected many of its kind. During a bombing raid on the night of February 13, 1945, in the last months of the war in Europe, the church caught fire and collapsed two days later. The GDR administration kept the ruins as a memorial against the war. While many other destroyed historic buildings in Dresden were reconstructed, plans to rebuild the church were put on hold.
Reconstruction of the weathered sandstone ruins was commenced during the mid-1990s and funded by national and international trusts. Every piece of debris was cataloged and evaluated, and original materials used wherever possible. In 2005, the project was completed and the rebuilt Frauenkirche stands in central Dresden as it has since its original completion three hundred years ago.
The model consists of 591 pieces and is built in scale 1:650. The use of dark tan pieces across the façade pictures the use of weathered original materials and newly sourced sandstone bricks, as was done during the reconstruction.
“An old knight is enjoying his retirement and pursuing his hobbies after years of battles and quests.” Howdy flickr! I’ve built with Lego for as long as I can remember, but I’ve only recently gotten back into it, and this is the first castle MOC I’ve built in a long time. I would appreciate any comments or feedback, hope you enjoy!

This one has been done in media form, as an old BBC TV serial. Most of my direct inspiration comes from the illustrations in the book.

Downtown Records is a modular record shop, ready and waiting to take it’s place in your LEGO city, I have packed it with brick built detail as well as custom printed parts (two of my favourite things about LEGO sets). I will gradually be revealing more of this project over time, but to start with I have revealed images of the building from the front, the side and the record store interior.
In total, Downtown Records contains about 3000 bricks and is divided into three sections. The bottom section includes a street scape including traffic light and crossing, leafy tree (I am particularly happy with how the tree turned out – I only had to rebuild it four times!) and a small news stand. Inside on the ground floor of the building there is the record store itself with shelves bulging with custom printed records on 2×2 tiles, a bathroom, and access to the staircase leading upstairs.
My aim with the design of the facade was to create a believable downtown two storey brick-faced building with stucco detailing and ornate architectural cornicing.
So if you would like to help make Downtown Records a real LEGO set, it’s free to support, all you need to do is head on over to LEGO Ideas, sign up for an account and hit that blue support button!

In November 2019, immediately after I had finished designing SPQR, I took a trip to Italy and spent a few days in the Eternal City to see the ruins of Imperial Rome for myself. After a full day of walking through the Colosseum and Forum, then around the Palatine Hill, I made my way on foot to St. Peter’s Square a mile-and-a-half away to see the piazza at night in anticipation of the next morning’s tour. Perhaps in a similar vein of anticipation, I quickly knew that Vatican City would be my next foray into Italian architecture. The formidable impression of walking beneath the city’s tall outer walls in contrast with the accessibility to a rich diversity of world heritage within the corridors of the Musei Vaticani were more than enough to cement this inception with imagined Italian Carrara marble.
One year later, my fully realized landscape piece of Vatican City comes in at approximately 67,000 parts; only about 1,000 parts more than SPQR. With more than 500 hours of design time over the course of seventy days, this piece far surpasses that of SPQR and even my Forbidden City piece of earlier this year, despite the latter coming in considerably larger at roughly 84,000 pieces. To attribute this to any one factor – be it diverseness in style or such an irregular layout – might speciously overlook the experiential order in which I went about designing the layout.
The design process began, fittingly, with St. Peter’s Basilica and St. Peter’s Square, pictured west to east from the lower-middle. Next up were the various administrative buildings roughly on the site of the original Circus of Caligula just south of the Basilica, including the sacristy and the wedge-shaped Paul VI Audience Hall. From there, I continued with much of the other largely obscure smaller buildings in the northeast corner of the city, followed by the St. Peter’s Square-adjacent Apostolic Palace, situated at an angle of roughly thirty degrees to the rather outwardly inconspicuous Sistine Chapel (nearly parallel with the Basilica itself). Then came the long rectangular corridors and courtyards of the Vatican Museums, running north from the Basilica at a slight angle. This difference in alignment is maintained throughout much of the remaining gardens, which themselves were also designed sequentially in four additional separate stages. All in all, the landscape consists of fifteen pieces of base with the Basilica acting as the keystone to which seven other pieces of the base attach.

On the frozen world of Orto Plutonia, Rebels uncovered an Imperial outpost, only to find it was a secret ISB laboratory. Determined to expose its purpose, they launched a daring infiltration, hoping to uncover the dark secrets buried beneath the ice.
\\The use of words among the flanking group happened sporadically as they pushed their way through the battle-dirty streets.
The focus on the fight left mainly the sounds of blaster fire and explosions to fill the city surroundings.
The small capital city of Garang, home to a simple people that sought a peaceful life, had become a battle ground that extended its destruction from the inside-out.
This tactic by the battle droids resulted in many buildings un-touched, but others, sometimes only meters away, laid in waste as blaster and mortar fire pummeled them.
It is up to Havoc's attack force to flank the droid forces and navigate through the city to bring a swift recovery to the CIS invasion.//
A modern home filled with Technic parts experiments and hinged roof designs. The colours and geometry are inspired by a small bird - the Wagtail - a common sight where I live in Sweden.
Vanilla House is a modern home with two floors. The ground floor house body is tan coloured and shaped like an "L". This is cut through by an inverted "L" consisting of many small plates in tan, dark tan, DBG, LBG and black.
Downstairs you find a kitchen, TV-lounge and bathroom. A black, floating staircase leads to the bedroom upstairs. The bedroom has glass walls to let in the light. The roof offers shadow.
The geometrical shapes inspired me to start building this MOC. In some way it is like a puzzle game.
This tower was designed by Adrian Smith in 1999, who later came up with skyscrapers such as the Jin Mao Tower or Burj Khalifa, the highest building in the world. 7 South Dearborn, located in Chicago, would have been the highest building in the world of its time as well. Standing exactly 2000 feet or 610 meters tall, including antennas (which would have been part of the architectural design), it would have surpassed Petronas Towers by more than 150 meters. But the tower was cancelled, obviously, due to financial concerns. Nonetheless, its slender design, forced by the narrow lot, was way ahead of its time; residential buildings grew as tall in New York or Dubai a decade later. 7 South Dearborn's design cues live on in the city, though, through Trump International Hotel and Tower, which is heavily inspired by the tower's proposed facade.
The building consists of 3,526 pieces and is built in scale 1:650.

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.

Västmanlands-Dala Nation is one of the 13 student nations at Uppsala University in Sweden. The house of Västmanlands-Dala Nation drawn by the Finnish architect Alvar Aalto was built in 1965. Lego microscale model consists of about 950 bricks. Computer rendering but buildable if you have the bricks.
This build is a large castle/landscape display featuring The Knights of the Black Falcon and The Forest Guard.
First and foremost the aim of this build was to showcase what I love about those classic mid-80s Castle sets and specifically my two favourite factions. I have drawn inspiration from the original sets featuring each faction, specifically what I loved about them as a child and aimed to contrast that with what appeals to me as an adult builder.
The build features two fortresses side by side, Falkenholt Castle, the fortress of the Knights of the Black Falcon and an underground network of caves and tunnels that comprise the fortress of the Forest Guard.
Some of the elements that I am most happy with in this build are the level of detail and texture, the cross-section style cutaway on the edges of the build showing the internal structure of the castle as well as the geological layers of rock, clay and soil.
