Whitebrick Sand House is characterized by straight lines, glass and sandy colours. Placed in desertlike environment, yet close to civilization. Somewhere to relax.
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.
Building: The Majestic Theatre Ipoh (1940 - 19 June 2012)
Location: No.2 Chamberlain Road, Ipoh (Jalan Chamberlain Hulu)
Building style: Art Deco
Danish Architect: Berthel Michael Iversen (1906-1976)
再見大華
承載幾代人的集體回憶
怡保大華大戲院
(The Majestic Theatre Ipoh)
大華大戲院建於上世紀40年代，與怡保巿內麗都戲院 (Lido)，國泰戲院 (Cathey)與麗士戲院 (Rex) 皆出自丹麥的建築師艾弗爾森 (Berthel Michael Iversen 1906-1976) 之手, 全以藝術裝飾風格打造。
藝術裝飾建築 (Art Deco) 流行於1920-1939年，特徵為簡單幾何造型，流線式的水平或垂直線條，其窗戶有水平出挑的遮陽板等等，象徵當時鋼筋混凝土結構運用已達到成熟階段。
大華大戲院於1940年末完工，上下兩層共可以容納867席(一樓626席，二樓241席) 觀眾。1998年2月25日在時代洪流衝擊下結束營業，並被怡保市政廳列為古蹟建築之一。後期曾經改為夜店和家私店等。
但很可惜, 在2012年6月19日突然被發展商拆除，並在該地段建起21層樓高的現代公寓。在發展洪流下，很多舊建築隨時消失在無聲的歷史長河裡。

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!

My first attempt at modern-ish architecture. The house is designed with a bachelor pad in mind, more specifically a guitarist/musician (hence the guitar collection and piano).
Lego modular fashion store inspired by Furla store in Ginza, Tokyo, Japan. About 4500 bricks. Computer rendering but only existing bricks/colors were used.
I am thrilled to present Sydney Harbour, a 90x90cm cityscape model of Sydney's famous harbour at a 1:2200 Lego scale
the model has roughly 10,000 pieces and sits on four square segments for easier transport to and from exhibitions.
Landmarks to look out for include:
- Harbour Bridge
- Opera House
- The Rocks
- Circular Quay
- Barangaroo (Crown Towers)
- Goverment house & Botanic Gardens
- Blues Point
- Sydney Observatory
- Museum of Contemporary art
- Customs House
& many more recognizable buildings!
This build took overall 30 hours to create over the space of 4 months.
please feel free to share this around! i'll be posting plenty of content over the next weeks.

If you think about retro gas station you probably think about something really cool and stylish: modernist architecture, art deco gas pumps and other outstanding car stuff displayed outside the station.
You can find all this in the elegant gas station designed in 1953 by the Dutch architect Willem Marinus Dudok. Here made of LEGO bricks.
The design of Dudok was simple and brilliant simultaneously. According to the mission he received from ESSO Netherlands, the station had to be functional and inexpensive to produce.
It was just after World War II and raw materials were scarce.
At the same time the road network grew and pumping stations had to be placed anywhere.
112 Dudok Esso stations were placed along the Dutch highways.
My LEGO Dudok Esso gas station has the same features of the real one: an elegant design, a v-shaped roof on both sides, two gas pumps on a dark grey platform, different advertising signs and other stuff.
The shop is on the front of the station; a detailed service garage is located at the back (you probably find out something familiar with my previous garage and workshop).
There are a lot of details both outside and inside the building, let's take a look.
In the shop you can find a big desk with a vintage phone, a cash register and a architect lamp. A big clock is positioned on the wall close to the shelves where you can see the oil cans and an old radio. Two neon lights and a fan are hung on the ceiling support.
The garage at the back features a lot of utensils, advertising signs and other stuff. Take a look at the Michelin Man (Bibendum).
My VW Type 2 T1 decked up in Esso livery fits perfectly in this scene.
You can see the real Esso station looking at the last picture of this album, photographed at the National Automobile Museum Collection Louwman (The Netherlands) where was placed in 2004.
I built this brand new MOC last winter and I’m particularly fond of it.

Hey guys! I haven't uploaded anything in a while here. Still wanted to show you some WIPs of recent builds, in case you haven't seen them on Insta already. Enjoy.
Exterior.
Whitebrick Sand House is characterized by straight lines, glass and sandy colours. Placed in desertlike environment, yet close to civilization. Somewhere to relax.
Inspired by a canal house in Amsterdam from 1627 I built this microscale house with a crow-stepped gable. The base of the house is 10x11 studs and 875 bricks were used. Computer rendering but only existing bricks/colors were used.
"Gathered friends... Listen again to the Legend of the BIONICLE."
A microscale landscape build with a central location from the island of Mata Nui, with a minifigure trophy part representing Takanuva, Toa of Light.
Taking inspiration from different depictions of Kini Nui temple from three separate BIONICLE media: the temple hidden in the jungle as depicted in commercials for the first BIONICLE sets, the four-spired temple in Mata Nui Online Game, and the area across the stream with the sand pit and the giant Toa head carving that features prominently in BIONICLE: Mask of Light.
Main temple structure was originally built for New Elementary Parts Fest
Two townhouses inspired by houses in Washington, D.C.. Each house is build as a separate 16x32 modular house. Fully furnished. Computer rendering but buildable if you have the bricks.
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.
“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!
Oh, finally I can upload photos of my MOC about a Trullo of Alberobello!
I know, a model of Trulli already exists and it was uploaded on Lego Ideas too by Renato Renna. Unfortunately I'm fast in designing a new MOC, but very slow in buying pieces and building... this project was born in summer 2020, but however only now I can show it to the world!
By the way, I think that our two MOCs are very different, both for dimensions, scale and building techniques! I love Architecture scale and designing every building in small dimensions!
For people who don't know it, this is a kind of rural and ancient building typical of Apulian country, in the south of Italy. There is also a small town, Alberobello, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage, built with a lot of Trulli!

Lego bookstore modular inspired by A.Masow Architects concept store. There are four apartments above the bookstore. The modular house can be opened at the back and is fully furnished. About 6500 bricks. Computer rendering but only existing bricks/colors were used. Reference images.

This is a Lego modular of the F-town Building located in Sendai, Japan by architect Atelier Hitoshi Abe. About 8500 bricks of which over 3000 are white 1x1 plates. 😂 Computer rendering but only existing bricks were used. Reference images.
This Lego clock tower modular is inspired by Prague Astronomical Clock in Prague, Czech Republic. Besides the clock tower there are also three small houses. Total width of all buildings is 48 studs and about 4100 bricks were used. Computer rendering but only existing bricks were used.
My first attempt at modern-ish architecture. The house is designed with a bachelor pad in mind, more specifically a guitarist/musician (hence the guitar collection and piano).
This little something is a memorial in my home town to remember the first finding of salt, the city's reason for great wealth in the middle ages.

The white flowers surround this split-level house inspired by 20th Century modernist architecture. The SNOT windows along the livingroom and bedroom started this build and it is almost a little brother to my previous Artsand House MOC. As always, I've spent a lot of time working on the interiors and I'm pretty fond of the combined kitchen and livingroom myself. I hope you like it too!

“… and the hanging gardens, …”
Nabopolassar, king of Babylon, concluded peace with the mighty ruler of Media, Cyaxares, after centuries of skirmishes and wars. This alliance proved to be the most powerful force the Middle East had hitherto seen. Together, they crushed the Assyrian empire and ruled from today’s Syria to Pakistan and India.
To seal this pact, Nabopolassar’s son, Nebuchadnezzar II, was to marry Cyaxares daughter, Amytis. For Amytis this meant to leave her home and family behind in Media’s mountainous Ecbatana for a life in the vast valley of the Euphrates. Amytis must have suffered under the separation from her loved ones because of this arranged marriage. But love between the Babylonian prince and Median princess may have been real. Nebuchadnezzar had a garden built for his wife, that shall remind her of her home in the Persian mountains. This paradise of precious fruit bearing palm trees and exotic flowers was laid out in tiers to mimic valleys and hills. Water was brought up to the highest level to run down in cataracts and quench the paradise’s thirst.
The might and prosperity of the kingdoms of Babylon and Media should vanish soon after Nebuchadnezzar and Cyaxares’ son, Astyages, have died. Their cultures, rites, and riches went down in the tumultuous rise of the Achaemenid Empire, and with it the king’s great gift to his queen.
Most likely, all of this is based upon myths and tales, spread by not very accurate ancient historians, and romanticized over the course of millennia. No one knows how such a structure could have been built in the sixth century BCE, or where it could have been located, as there are no traces of it among the ruins of the city of Babylon.
The model consists of 1,256 pieces and is built in scale 1:650. It is modelled after Herodotus’ descriptions of the gardens as a three-tiered complex, with columns, statues, and exotic plants. He further described that no mechanism to transport the water to the highest level was visible from the outside.
