Modular S-curve. For a complete 3x6 baseplate table: add a row of three blank baseplates to the top to give the left half; rotate by 180 deg and add a row of three blank baseplates to the bottom to give the right half. This table will need to be mirrored to make a modular set that is compliant with the standard.
For those interested, the "inner" curve is ~R200 and the "outer" curve is ~R216. At 1:45 scale, these correspond to curve radii of 72.0 m and 77.76 m, respectively. For comparison, on VR broad gauge the minimum radius is 160 m. On the North American rail network, the absolute minimum radius (87.8 m) (according to Wikipedia).

Following the standards commonly used for LEGO® modular buildings, the Police Station is a modular building in a 32-stud-wide format with 4 distinct sections.
- Ground Floor featuring payphones, a large desk, waiting area, and holding cell.
- Main Floor featuring the many desks of the precinct's detectives, file storage, a bathroom and a caged armory.
- Top Floor featuring the chief's office, an evidence room, and crime lab.
- Roof featuring communication equipment and the station's air conditioner.

I came up with the variation on the left after a student in a class came up with yet another variation (not shown here). The original design is mine.
Modular Christmas wreath, folded using 4 squares of paper (no glue). Designed and folded by Matthew Green.
The back has a modern looking expansion to the building.

MOC: Modular LEGO Store.
Not too much detail in the back, as it's a corner building, but there's a bench where the employees can seek refuge once the crowd inside gets too demanding. And judging from how it's been from time to time in the LEGO stores I've visited, it's needed.
Note the surveillance camera ;)

A New Update to the Kingdoms Modular Castle Creator Set on Lego Ideas. ideas.lego.com/projects/148797
I have a new and exciting update to the Kingdoms Modular Castle Creator system. Now, to keep brick count and cost down, I am introducing a whole new set of room and roof modules that are half the width of the original modules at 4 x 8. This new set of Narrow or “Half” modules could act as replacements for the original set of 8 x 8 rooms or increase the Creator capability by simply including instructions for the additional modules This would significantly increases the number of unique castles you could build with this set. It is a big win whichever direction Lego choses to go. Of course, these new modules have been designed and tested to fit perfectly with every other module already described in the set. The top of the modules are 4 x 8, which hold a half battlement yielding a play space of 3 x 8 which is pretty standard for most castle sets. There are Lego Technic pin holes just like before for connecting the rooms or hanging other modules off of them. The only difference is that the short, 4 stud side has only one pin hole centered in the middle. This single pin hole, lines up perfectly with either of the two holes on a whole or 8x8 room. Two narrow rooms can be connected to make a single standard 8 x 8 room. Our you could connect them to make an “L” shape. With this set and your imagination, you can build these, and many more unique castles of your own design by simply rearranging the universally configurable modules.

Our LUG's next building challenge is a modular standard building but only 8 studs wide. I randomly picked a blue and dark gray 8x16 so I thought it'd be neat to have a lake house. Of course, now I have to hope it'll eventually be displayed next to some water.
I kept the masonry bricks out of this because while it might look like it needs more detail on the outside, typical lake/beach houses are long slats. I thought it might look better.
Next step is to order all the parts I don't already have. I'm really happy with this one, so I hope it holds up IRL.

Variations of this star. Not very good though:)) Too many layers in the center.
Celebrating my 9th piece of modern architecture in the archiBRICKture series, the modular LEGO Store is a colorful and clean building where both adults and kids will find all the joy with the LEGO bricks!
The design rips off all colors except on the front door, above where you can find all the different colors of LEGO bricks, the signature of this brand. Next to the door is the giant wooden sculpture of minifigure, and people will have no difficulty to locate the store!
The new building introduces different curves and round corners to soften the block massing, giving the facade a subtle but interesting look. The curves also go around the facade cut-out for the minifigure statue and the glass wall behind it, which allows sunlight to enter the shop.
There are 3 floors and a rooftop. Inside, you can find all the popular box sets including the latest ones, a Pick-A-Brick corner, a children play area and a LEGO factory machine display. On the rooftop, you can have some refreshments, or share ideas if there is any MOC event.
So now you have a new place to haunt, what are you waiting for?
A couple of weeks ago, I got my hands on a 1592 Town Square set (Dutch version). I had to restore it a little, and then I got the idea to make a building for my modular street inspired by this set. So this is the result. A corner house, built in the middle ages, the last in its sort, next to the last remaining part of the city walls. Maybe it was the house of the gatekeeper. Today the space behind the gate isn't used as road any more, but houses a little snack corner, where you can eat 'soep en worst' (as in the original 1983 set).
Next to another modular MOC it looks very small, but that is to be expected from a little mediaeval house.
I haven't yet remade the statue and the parade from set 1592.

As it turned out there is a flower by Michael LaFosse which is similar but not quite the same:)

This was one of the most challenging facades I ever built, but I‘m quite happy how it turned out. Inside you can find also an architect‘s office. This gave me the chance to try some microscale building for the first time.

If there were a hotel on the Moon, what would it look like ? You get to decide with the Modular Moon Hotel !
The model is made of 8 layers, that you can arrange the way you want ! To assemble the Hotel, simly slide each floor on the two Technic axles. You can also use longer Technic axles and create your own floors to make an even bigger hotel !
It also features a miniature rendition of my flying taxi.
You can see the 3D model on Mecabricks : www.mecabricks.com/en/models/eDa5nYm32zg
This model was built for the Exploring the Cosmos Challenge on LEGO Ideas. You can see my entry here : ideas.lego.com/s/ca:8b0f140c18694d47ba0bb2348b48d27a
