This was my entry for the Rebrick Mini Building Madness contest where the goal was to build a mini modular building of your own design. This was a fun challenge.
"This is the office building of a cutting edge architect firm. The firm is known for it's grand buildings with heavy concrete look mixed with beatiful and odd shapes. Their own office building is a great example of their unique style. This style gathered also a lot of negative reactions from the public and the building received a not so flattering name of "Car Park". It's the type of building that at first sticks out like a sore thumb but over time becomes a major landmark of the area."
One of my three contributions to the Archbrick/BriXtar Skyscraper Challenge. Computer rendering but buildable if you have the bricks.
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".
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.
Spencer's recently constructed 1/650 scale model of the World Trade Center (WTC) of New York City (circa 2016?) with all five completed towers. The reality as of March 2012, is that WTC7 is complete and the other towers are in various stages of construction . WTC2 and WTC3 will only progress to the base unless major tenants are signed.

This is my personal version of a MOC of Pyramids of Gyza in Egypt in Lego Architecture style.
I know... It is not so difficult to build a pyramid in LEGO :)
So I tried to imagine its context in the desert, with a little oasis and other little pyramids really existing in Gyza.
In truth, the oasis is my wife's contribution! :)
For the addiction of the Sphinx, I have to thank Kristi, a MOCcer here on Flickr, who enlightened me about how to build it in an amazing way!

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.
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.
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.

This building is based loosely on one of the buildings depicted in the Brickbuilderspro commercial aftermarket instructions -
"Town Street," (www.brickbuilderspro.com/shop-instructions/?sort=featured...).
I tried to keep most of the styling elements, but expand the building to actually accommodate the idea that a minifig(s) could actually live in the structure, rather than just a box that was more facade than structure.

⛲ The imperial domūs that once stood lavishly atop the Palatine Hill are the reason we have the word "Palace"! ⛲
📜 Perhaps none described it better than Roman court poets Statius and Martial when they recalled the splendor of the Imperial Palace on the Palatine:
"The Domus Augustiana must have been magnificent, foremost for its size. It extended over such an area that one's eyes would grow weary from looking at it, like the infinity of the sky, except in gold. There were columns enough to hold up the universe if Atlas had decided to rest. It was so tall that the pyramids of Egypt seemed ridiculous in comparison: it appeared as if the seven hills of Rome had been stacked, rising to the height of the stars, beyond the clouds."

The Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge is a bridge that spans over the Trinity River just west of Downtown Dallas. The bridge is designed by world renowned architect Santiago Calatrava, The cable-stayed bridge supports its 1870 ft length and 1197 ft main span with a steel arch whose peak's height is 400 ft. An array of twisting cables connect the underside of the arch's curved pylon to the bridge's platform. Fifty eight white steel cables descend from the arch and secure themselves along the centerline of the platform.
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 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.
