It may come as a surprise to many that a tower so universally beloved for its beauty is actually quite sparse in its aesthetic elements. In point of fact, the only non-structural elements ...

In the end, the design time for the base ended up eclipsing that of the tower. That is not to say it was any less enjoyable ...

This build was for a client (Architecture). While the project remains undisclosed and is temporarily shelved due to COVID-19, I want to share the images before boxing up the model for a while. Hopefully this project will get revealed to the public and built at some point.
A bullet train speeds past the fire station. The fire station is an expanded version of the new CC series LEGO set. It and the nearby buildings were built by Chris Leach.
The MichLTC display runs from November 27, 2009 to January 3, 2010 in conjunction with the LEGO Castle Adventure exhibit at The Henry Ford.
After 22 months of off and on construction, the LEGO Guardian Building is complete. The model is 8 feet (2.46 meters) high to the roof. The building's base measures 136 x 48 LEGO studs.
This model will be displayed for the first time at the Henry Ford Museum starting on November 24, 2014 and ending in early January 2015.
As you can see, the spandrel design alternates every two floors.
These buildings are based on certain architectural elements found in NYC. Especially the fire escape in front, a corner deli and neighborhood restaurants.
The name says it all. These are just facades of buildings done to display at the back of any city layout. Kind of block the 'behind the table space'.

My Lego replica of Detroit's Fisher Building. The other buildings in the foreground are not based on any specific prototypes but were simply attempts to try out different architectural styles.
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.

This build is a LEGO replica of Charing Cross, the very centre of my home town of Bendigo, Victoria, Australia.
Each year for Bendigo Bricks, Bendigo LEGO User Group’s annual brick show, I like to display something from Bendigo built out of LEGO bricks (in the past I have exhibited my Former Bendigo Fire Station and the Shamrock Hotel) and I decided that for Bendigo Bricks 2020 I was going to tackle a streetscape incorporating multiple facades. There are a number of places in Bendigo I could have chosen but I settled on Charing Cross this time as it has a good mix of different building styles.
Charing Cross is the intersection of View Street and Pall Mall and effectively stands at the centre of the city and is one of Bendigo’s busiest and most prominent intersections, check out the real place on Google StreetView here. In my build I wanted to capture Charing Cross on an average day featuring Bendigonian’s going about their daily lives.
My build includes four distinct facades, starting from left to right they are the Former Commercial Bank of Australia which stands at 11 View Point, 13-15 View Point, the beautiful art nouveau Former Royal Bank Building at 17 View Point and the Former Australian Mutual Provident Society Building at 21 View Point. I have tried to show these buildings as they appear today in their current uses.
Other features include Bendigo’s cenotaph, as well as a couple of elements that I built in the past, namely my Bendigo Bus and my Alexandra Fountain (though I have given it a new base in this build, one that is much more representive of its actual location).
I also wanted to include an iconic Bendigo Tram in this build and settled on No. 84. You can find out more about this historic tram here.

A year after its (re)modeling in LEGO on the 3D Stud.io software by BrickLink, it was time to reproduce it in real life !
Here is my faithful replica of the new One World Tarde Center in New York, made up of more than 28,000 LEGO bricks, assembled in more than 60 hours, and illuminated at night with LEDs !
A little bit of history first, One World Trade Center nicknamed “Freedom Tower” and its 541 meters high (1,776 feet, corresponding to the year of the United States Declaration of Independence) is the tallest tower in New York, in the United States and the Western Hemisphere. 🇺🇸
It’s also the most expensive tower in the world, costing nearly $3.9 billion, and is the most technologically advanced and environmentally sustainable skyscraper. 🌟
But now, in LEGO ???
This centerpiece is part of my project consisting of almost faithfully reproducing the new Ground 0 - World Trade Center district in LEGO.
It went through several versions before arriving at this final version which is more geometric, more voluminous and better worked.
Admire these inclined facades !
I won’t be able to describe every detail here since there are a lot, but the main points are :
- More than 28,000 parts.
- The building measures 2.25 m (7.4 ft) with a scale of 1:245 ! 📏
- It includes the almost faithfully reproduced One World Observatory platform as well as all the floors of the tower.
- It’s lit at night with LEDs for the floors, as well as addressable RGB LEDs for the lobby and antenna that can change color individually.💡
I wanted to thank BlueBrixx for providing me with alternative LEGO Trans-Clear plates for the lobby as well as rigid hoses for the metal rings on the roof.
Check my Instagram to see more about my project !

Lego Store and Soap-N-Suds. New Brickton Lego Store Model Citizens can get their uniforms clean in a convenient location, for now.
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.

Outside the House on Striped Pillars bedroom. A chest of drawers. A tea pot.
Modern living inspired by old open-air-bath architecture as the house is standing on pillars in water and is offering an open space for bathing in the middle.
You enter the terrace through the rock on the backside of the house. On the terrace you find a small outdoor kitchen and table with chairs made of ladders and steering wheels. Kitchen, reading corner, livingroom and sauna with shower on first floor.
The house is entered from the terrace. A high plated wall goes though this floor leading from the hallway to the master bedroom and bathroom. Here you sleep with a 180 degrees sea view.
The floor below is reached by a floating staircase attached to the wall. A corridor with a resting chair (made of life preservers) and glass cabinet combines two parts of the house. One of them is hosting a kitchen and dining area. The other one is hosting a livingroom. Here you also find a small sauna and shower room with a ladder leading directly down to the water.
This is my third house built into a rock. The other two are called "Green Rock House" and "Calmwater Cliff House".
The newly restored and substantially redesigned version of my original 2015 piece depicting the Palace of Westminster in London.
For further insights into the Design + Build process - along with extensive historical precedence - check out the accompanying model film over on YouTube!
Troll A is the world’s biggest natural gas platform, built between 1992 and 1995. From the seabed to the tip of the flare boom it measures 472 meters or 1548 feet. If it stood onshore it would surpass New York’s Empire State Building by almost 30 meters! While it is currently situated 65 kilometers (40 miles) off the coast of Norway, it was constructed in the safety of Vats fjord and then towed to the Troll gas field. It is the tallest and, at 656,000 tons, the heaviest structure ever moved. Since it started operation in 1996, the platform was extended several times to be able to further exploit the draining supplies of natural gas and crude oil under the North Sea, extracting around 100,000 m3 or 3,300,000 ft3 per day, together with Troll B and Troll C.
The model consists of 3,150 pieces, is built in scale 1:650, and features a blue whale for scale.
