The SV-Hochhaus is the newly built headquarters of the Süddeutsche Verlag after the company moved out of the city center. It was initially planned as 145-meter-tall landmark in Munich’s industrial east. But the same citizens’ initiative stopping many other high-rise projects in Munich brought this to a halt, too. Following the referendum, the roof height was set to 100 meters, forcing GKK+Architekten to completely rethink their concept. Nonetheless, it was opened in July 2007, after just over one year of construction.
The complex features an intricate façade with sharply angled windowpanes creating a diamond-like effect on the surface. Unfortunately, it was not possible to recreate this mesmerizing effect at this scale.
The model consists of 1,101 pieces and is built in scale 1:650. It features a detailed rendition of the “Atrium”, the building's impressive lobby, which is accessible through a removable roof.
Terrace details.
Calmwater Cliff House is located on a cliff by the beach. Two floors with a terrace on each floor. Downstairs you find a spacious kitchen and dining area, a bathroom and home office. Upstairs you find a music corner with sea view, a bedroom and the main entrance.
As you see it´s a LEGO house and I´ve mainly used the colours black, dark tan, tan and reddish brown.
I wanted to make a modern home - in some way inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and the colours of the 20th century - updated to 21st century lifestyle.
Hidden Home Park is an underground modern, sustainable home hidden in a green park. Trees, bushes and flowers. A roof and an atrium garden. Kitchen garden with herbs. Three patios with lots of windows. Two ponds and a bench where you can meditate. Two bee hives symbolize the symbiosis of animals, plants and humans.
It is my entry to the Swebrick contest Master Builder of the Year 2017 ending on March 1st 2018.

House of Three is a contemporary Scandinavian family home. I've tried to catch contemporary Scandinavian architecture in colours, floor plan and roof design. The interior and furniture in inspired by IKEA and other Scandinavian designs. Comfortable living suitable for a small family.
My model of the Penobscot block is part of a Michigan Lego Train Club layout. I did not quite finish the block; the Penobscot Annex should be about 17 stories higher than it appears here.
The MichLTC display runs from November 27, 2009 to January 3, 2010 in conjunction with the LEGO Castle Adventure exhibit at The Henry Ford.

My most famous and longest running city. I have decided to give up my LEGO collection, however I will commemorate each of my past cities with a skyline.
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.
I see a methodology of building something that lasts. Something that will withstand the rigors of monthly exhibitions over years of travel. Something which tens of thousands will be able to enjoy in as pristine condition as possible.
I also see the immense substructure of a more than 11,000-brick model depicting the Flavian Amphitheatre (Colosseum) at its glorious height circa mid-4th century CE.
Many will see something else, and that's okay.
There is no progress without first breaking tired and arbitrary moulds. ✊

The latest Design Insights for my years-long project to build the entirety of Imperial Rome are now posted on my Patreon page! These insights cover the VELABRUM; the region of Ancient Rome which sat at a crossroads between the Capitoline and Palatine Hills.
Like the Arch of Janus depicted in the sneak peek rendering, this post marks a turning point in the progression of this project which I first announced on the Kalends of January. It has taken some time to lift off the ground, but the steadfast support of all my patrons has helped me reach a point where the design updates will now be coming fast & furious over the next several weeks of intense design efforts.
I very much still need your support in making this project a reality! It's no stretch to say that this is my most comprehensive - and exciting - project to date. It takes a village to realize any ambitious undertaking, but this is certainly not without its rewards. I encourage you to visit my Patreon page and consider contributing. In exchange, patrons will be the first to see all the newly designed areas, with exclusive perks and further insights / access for the higher tiers.
To put it another way, the soldiers are being mustered, the generals have made their offerings at the Temple of Mars Ultor, and the legions are now marching toward the frontier for the long campaign season ahead! Onward - and festina lente!
The Michigan LEGO User Group (MichLUG) display at the Henry Ford Museum from November 12, 2017 to January 6, 2018. As usual, the display is on the east side of the museum past the giant Allegheny locomotive.

Here we are! Maybe this is my most difficult MOC I ever did! Saint Basil's Cathedral in Moscow!
I'm honest, I had two different inspirations: one was a model found on Bricklink, designed by Jacob Harper, but the most important one was Markus Rollbühler's MOC, which has always fascinated me for its amazing techniques!
The latter, moreover, was so kind to reveal me some secret techniques used in his MOC for the domes! Thank you Markus! :)
However, as you can see, my MOC is also different from the former MOCs: it maintains the dimensions typical of Architecture series, but the most difficult part was to find the correct pieces in the correct available colors...
And talking about my techniques: I'm not so crazy and skilled like Markus! :P
This historic precedent of Colonial Georgian Architecture sits at the heart of Philadelphia's old city center. Independence Hall also played a crucial role in the founding of the United States, as its storied assembly rooms witnessed the signing of both the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and the Constitution in 1787.
Here’s my entry for the bricksetofficial and legoworldbuilder contest LegoMiniWorldTour.
It’s a Lego Architecture style landscape representing Italy.
The three location I picked are the iconic 5 Terre, the Scaligero castle from my hometown Sirmione and Gardaland, the biggest theme park in Italy, which is also home to Legoland. If you are not familiar with these places, I highly recommend to Google it.

The river Yamuna, much like the Ganga, or Ganges, which it feeds, is highly venerated in Hinduism. The goddess Yamuna is the daughter of the Sun Deva, Surya and it is said that bathing in her waters frees oneself from the torments of death. The river is the longest tributary in India and accounts for just over 40% of the entire Ganga Basin. Fed by glaciers of the Lower Himalaya to the north, the Yamuna stretches 855 miles (1,376 km), through Delhi and past Agra, before joining the mighty Ganga at Triveni Sangam. As the two rivers run mostly parallel with each other before merging, the fertile region between and surrounding them is known as the Indo-Gangetic Plains, known for its alluvial soils and flood plains. Such a rich water system has allowed for irrigation of these lands for many centuries during which many empires have come and gone; all of them relying on the sacred waters of the Yamuna and Ganga.
Taj Mahal was specifically built along a sharp bend of the Yamuna. Shah Jahan was well aware of the risks posed in constructing his greatest monument upon an alluvial floodplain, so he chose the likeliest spot where the waters would slow as they curved the riverbend. The effect was two-fold; the site would be better protected against erosion and potential flooding, and the dramatic, winding views afforded to dignitaries approaching the site by boat would be spectacular. Especially dramatic floods are nothing new to Taj Mahal. Indeed, Shah Jahan’s son Aurangzeb had a series of reinforcing groin walls built beneath the Chameli Farsh once he began noticing cracks in the walls of the lower chambers. The issue nowadays, however, is compounded by the increasing frequency of hydro-meteorological hazards; eight of which have occurred between 1956 and 2018, with an especially catastrophic flood which took place in 1978. Every time the river swells, submerging the Chameli Farsh and flooding the Charbagh, it erodes more soil, especially along the banks of the river. The acute vulnerability for Taj Mahal, therefore, is that repeated intense flooding has caused concern over the stability of the riverside pilings which may well begin to lean as the substrate erodes further. These concerns are especially well-founded as gradual silt accumulation due to runoff and river pollution has dramatically shallowed the Yamuna, thereby increasing the likelihood of a major occurrence on the scale of the 1978 disaster.
