Tiger’s Nest is the popular name of the Paro Taktsang Monastery.
It’s a prominent Himalayan Buddhist sacred site and temple complex, located in the cliff-side of the upper Paro Valley in Bhutan. The initial temple complex was built in 1692.
The monastery is located 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) to the north of Paro and hangs on a precipitous cliff at 10,240 feet above sea-level, about 3,000 feet above the Paro Valley.
The monastery buildings consist of four main temples and residential buildings. They are ideally designed by adapting to the rock (granite) ledges, the caves and the rocky terrain.
This Lego Model of the Monastery has taken around eight months to build with approximately 200,000 parts.
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.

This build is part of a larger display I’m developing for exhibition next year, where I’ll be revisiting and expanding on the concept of Neo Fabuland—a reinterpretation of the classic Fabuland aesthetic, much like how Neo-Classic Space draws inspiration from the original Classic Space theme. If you’re curious, you can read more about the goals of the project here.
I currently have several builds in progress for this display, and this is the first one to be completed.
While not directly based on any specific Fabuland set, this watermill draws loose inspiration from 3679 Flour Mill and Shop. It features a weathered stone-and-timber structure beside a millpond, complete with a working waterwheel, lily pads, reeds, and rounded rocks. The water cascades over the rocks to form a small waterfall. I’m especially pleased with the textures throughout—the flowing water, the stonework, and the building itself—as well as a custom spreading tree technique I developed for this scene (and will likely reuse in future Neo Fabuland builds).
This build also showcases my approach to Neo Fabuland windows, using brick-built frames with vinyl-cut sticker panes to echo the distinctive charm of original Fabuland designs.
Brookside Mansion
I am very proud to unveil my most challenging work to date, The Brookside Mansion! The mansion was originally constructed in 1889 by the industrialist John H. Bass. It now serves as the administration building for the University of Saint Francis, in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
The Sisters of Saint Francis of Perpetual Adoration acquired the building in 1944 and converted it into a university. Originally the mansion was the only building to house the university but, as the university campus grew, it served in many roles and, as mentioned, now serves as the administration building.
In 2009, the Sisters began a restoration of the building and did an breath taking job of bringing it back to its original glory while modernizing it where needed.
It is truly a spectacular architectural delight and a dream design for any LEGO designer. I was truly honoured to be chosen for such a monumental task.

Stefano Garzya asked me to help him complete his Helm's Deep project. So I got to work and added the Great Hall, Mountain Side, staircases and did some structural work to bring his vision to life.

These buildings are based on certain architectural elements found in NYC. Especially the fire escape in front, a corner deli and neighborhood restaurants.
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.

I'm so proud to present you one of my personal MOC, designed by me and nobody else! :)
This is the faithful model of the Cathedral of Trani, my hometown in Puglia (Italy).
The scale is very similar to the one of Lego Architecture style, as usual.
I designed it in Studio before, and in the end I also managed to build it, with the important help (and tolerance!) of my wife Malwina! :*
Here is the top portion of the "north tower" of my LEGO model of the Guardian Building. The eight pointed star-shaped top two floors proved to be a bit of a challenge to render in LEGO; the LEGO Company does not make all the parts I need in the color tan so I had to substitute some light-blue gray in the meantime. Hopefully it at least conveys the general impression of Wirt Rowland's design.
The model will be almost exactly 8 feet high (2.46 meters) to the roof. The flag pole will add another 1.5 feet (.46 meters) to the height.
I took a hiatus from LEGO building that lasted for most of the summer and into fall; I now have a deadline so I am finally finishing this project up after "only" 22 months!
I am planning on displaying this building at the Henry Ford museum starting the Monday before Thanksgiving.
This temple was dedicated to the goddess Concordia in commemoration of the agreement between the plebeians and patricians which allowed plebs to stand for the consulate!
️ It was rebuilt with a unique transverse cell and rededicated during Tiberius's triumph over the German tribes in 10 CE. ️
✊ Thus, a symbol of aristocratic hegemony reinforced imperial supremacy! ✊
️ The temple was used as a museum, with its interior walls lined with paintings by Zeuxis, Nicias and Theorus. ️
It was also the first public building in Rome to use white travertine as a building material.

Probably the most visited and most photographed bridge in Venice, (Ponte di Rialto) opened in 1591.Connecting the districts of San Polo and San Marco across the Grand Canal in the heart of the city, the Rialto Bridge has always been a busy crossing over the canal.The bridge is formed by two inclined ramps covered by a portico with shops on either side. This area has long been a market place for Venetians and Tourists.
This is how the roof can be removed in order to show the upstairs interior at exhibitions.
Modern living at split levels. Three kinds of sections - striped, brown and olive green.
In Olive Sand House I combine the the desertlike surroundings and olive green/tan colour scheme of Whitebrick Sand House with the striped architecture of for example Green Rock House, Calmwater Cliff House and Vanilla House that has in some way become my trademark.

While the manifold ways in which the use of marble versus sandstone depict hierarchy have been previously reviewed, it remains to be stated just how incredibly fastidious a task it would have been to ensure the complex was perfectly symmetrical down to every last brick and finial. The level of systematization inherent to the bureaucracy of the Mughal Empire is certainly reflected in the entire layout of Taj Mahal. One of the only exceptions to this balance, however, is in the tomb and corresponding cenotaph of Shah Jahan. The emperor’s tomb was placed next to his wife’s in the lower chamber of the mausoleum, while their elaborately adorned cenotaphs were placed directly above in the main chamber. Having already placed the tomb and cenotaph of Mumtaz Mahal at the very center of the Rauza-I Munawwara, Shah Jahan was later interred beside her, symbolizing that only the emperor himself would be allowed to break from the overarching symmetry.

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.
Schantzska huset (red) and Seyfridtzska huset (yellow) are located at Stortorget in the Old Town of Stockholm, Sweden. Schantzska huset was built in 1650 and Seyfridtzska huset was built in 1520. Today, there is a coffeehouse on the ground floor of both houses.
The modular building is constructed in two parts that can be used separately. Total about 4500 bricks. Some bricks have been chosen in colors that are not currently available to make the final result look more like the real buildings. Computer rendering.

The top of my LEGO Fisher Building (Version 3).**
As I tear down my previous version of the Fisher Building, I am constructing a slightly more detailed 3rd version using tan as a primary color. The real Fisher Building appeared to use white marble as a facing material for the facades that faced the two streets. Over the years the facade has gained a more tan colored patina. I utilized some relatively new LEGO pieces "30 degree slope, 1x1x2/3" to create some art deco details above the corner windows. I also made new more detailed gargoyles (the old ones were just 1x3 bricks sticking out of the building).
** The first one sank into the swamp. So I built another one. That one....
