My mum wanted a Christmas House for her little scene she and my sister built.
In order for it to be done in time for Christmas, I had to rush it near the end so it's far from perfect, but I still like its overall design.
I'm back with my newest moc, the Red London Telephone Box.
The model contains 1856 pieces and features lots of interesting details. The door can be opened to reveal an authentic detailed interior, complete with an old fashioned telephone.
As well as the phone box I've also included a British pillar box and a street lamp complete with hanging flower baskets.
I think the iconic London Telephone Box would be a great subject for a LEGO IDEAS set so I've uploaded it to the LEGO IDEAS website. If you like the model I'd be really grateful if you could head over and give the model your support. 10,000 votes and it could become a real set.
Thanks very much.
For further insights into the Design + Build process - along with extensive historical precedence - check out the accompanying model film over on YouTube!
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.

I have been doing a lot of instruction work this week for Winterfell.
Here is a little preview of what the instructions will look like :)

Two townhouses inspired by houses located on Upper East Side, Manhattan, New York. Each house is build as a separate 16x32 modular house. In total about 4800 bricks. Computer renderings but only existing bricks were used.
Court house 13905 Lego® Bricks Design by Stefano Mapelli ©2021 Stebrick www.stebrick.com Video:
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".
With this building I wanted to create a single-color house and instead of colors using a lot of structure on the facade. The building can be opened at the back and when fully opened, the two parts of the back expands the facade on the front and it becomes a 64 studs wide building. On the ground floor there is an architecture office and above that a large apartment. About 9700 bricks. Computer rendering but only existing bricks/colors were used.
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.
In the nearly 400 years since its construction, Taj Mahal has risen to the status of “Crown of All Palaces.” Loosely etymologized from the Persian تاج “tāj” (meaning “crown”) and محل “maħall” (meaning “palace”), the epithet is entirely befitting this, the most refined edifice of all Mughal architecture. The entire 42-acre (17 hectares) complex was commissioned in 1632 and completed more than twenty years later in 1653. Defined by its red sandstone crenellated walls, the entire complex measures approximately 1,900 ft (580 m) in length and 1,000 ft (305 m) wide. It is oriented in a north-south direction with the mausoleum platform situated along the southern bank of the River Yamuna, just east of the city of Agra in Uttar Pradesh; India’s most populous state.
Taj Mahal is both exquisitely adorned in its refinement and manifestly representative of the achievements of the Mughal Empire. Its construction took place during the reign of Shah Jahan - fifth Mughal emperor from 1628 to 1658 – at a time when the Mughal Empire reached its zenith of cultural splendor. Shah Jahan commissioned numerous works during his reign, ushering in the golden age of Mughal architecture during which many of the greatest Indo-Islamic monuments were built. Crowning them all was the symmetrical, tripartite Taj Mahal complex; demonstrated by its at once vastly impressive scale and intricately adorned surfaces, including paving stones, inlaid precious stones and everything in between. It is for these reasons that UNESCO described Taj Mahal as “the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage” when it was designated a World Heritage Site in 1983.
I always had a soft spot for those beautiful Victorian jubilee clocks which were a big inspiration here. The ornamentation is meant to honor the four pillars of the empire: engineering, aviation, seafaring and conquest. I purposely decided to use this „oldschool“ color scheme with only primary colors, black, white and grey to highlight its historic significance (in Lego terms of course).
I have finally finished this Mid-Century Modern (MCM) house MOC. The building process has been slow due to struggles in "real" life and that is one reason I decided to call it Endeavour House. Another reason is that the television series Endeavour (a prequel of Inspector Morse) has provided good insight in 1960's interior design.
I've tried to include MCM characteristics such as large windows, a low sloping roof, natural colours, patios and a green garden. The interiors are also inspired by MCM design.
Almost finished with the porch :) Just have to clean a few gaps and work on the internal structure a bit.
I thought this was going to be a very tough section to do, but it went rather smooth, although there was a lot of geometry to figure to create the right shapes.

Built for New Elementary Parts Festival, inspired by the Duomos of Florence and Milan.
See here for details on parts usage and build process.
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!
LEGO scale model of three medieval towers and their surroundings in Ghent, Belgium. Featuring the Saint Nicholas church, medieval Belfry tower and Saint Bavo’s Cathedral.
Scale 1:500
Combined dimensions: 116 x 32 cm
~10.000 parts in total
Moving on up! Got the second story started :D
I see I am going to have to go back through the tower and give it come more texture to match the other walls.

My entry to Swebrick Brick Challenge for March 2018. The challenge was to use the minifig flipper footgear in a MOC. This part doesn´t come in that many colours and that made it even more challenging.
I came up with this small health center building. Lime green flippers are used as tree foliage and red flippers are used as awnings.

A short summary of the passing year.
Unfortunately, as usual, I managed to finish less projects than I planned.
But at the same time I built some previously unplanned models for collab LUG projects and for LEGO Poland.
Additionally I worked on the backstage of Lego Masters production which was a very interesting experience.
Happy new year!
The Lego goat became a rare element for a few years. Once Lego produced a collectable minifig of the goatherd I decided to build him a tranquil farm to live on.
There are a few stories added to the model for intrest and intrigue
I always thought a minifig hand upside down reminded me of the Eiffel Tower, so I just had to see what it would look like to replace the original model in this set.
(More of my MOCs can be seen at my Instagram account)
On a recent trip to the coast, I noticed the many ways in which Land meets Water.
This MOC is an attempt to mimic rockwork as arches using plates. The result was a bowl shaped island which I made into a self sustained island village.
Here goes the first part of incoming typical (or not so typical) Soviet tower block building series - from the mighty Stalinist style to COPE panel "hives", starting with the usual Khrushchyovkas and ending with the individual projects like this one I'll show you today.
A vivid representation of the Soviet modernist architecture — four houses supported by pilotis, located on Novosmolenskaya Naberezhnaya in Saint-Petersburg, were erected from 1986 to 1993 by "LenNIIproekt" under Vitaly Sokhin's guidance. Twenty two floors of monolithic reinforced concrete (nineteen of them made for residential purposes) are held by sixteen pilotis and central column.
Worth mentioning that there's one more fascinating building on the other side of Smolenka river, but it's another story.
