I always wanted to try making a modular using 1x2 plates in mixed colours, but have never had enough plates in the right colours to do a full size modular building. Then I saw the LEGO Ideas contest to celebrate 90 years of TLG and the idea formed to try and do a midi-scale version (somewhere between minifigure and micro scale). The base for this build is 8x16 studs, so it is one-quarter of the baseplate used for a standard 16-stud wide modular building.
It is modular as the floors come apart. However, the way I did the windows for this version means that it's not so pretty on the inside.
I would love to do a row of townhouses like this in different colours. Once I can accumulate a few more plates!
PS: Sarah Beyer (@betweenbrickwalls) has mastered the use of mixed plates in her gorgeous buildings, but I want to also do a shout out to Jan M. (@wooootles) whose “Avenue Residences” is one of the first buildings that I recall that used this technique (and which is still one of my all time favourite builds).
Modular Origami Star (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 6 units, no glue
Front and reverse sides.
Similar to these ones:
Modular Origami Stars (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 6 units, no glue
4 different sizes, all stars are folded with 5 cm squares
Origami Modulars (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 4 units, no glue
The unit on the right is 60° and the unit on the left turned out to be 60-something upon closer inspection:) Oh well.
I wish I could do this in real bricks (with some variety added, of course). It would mean having to order a couple thousand 1x1 plates and headlight bricks, though.
I've refined the modular building quite a lot. The corner pieces are solid to provide bracing but all others components are totally modular.
60° Origami Modular (Maria Sinayskaya)
rectangles (1:2), 4 units, no glue
Some other variations of this unit.
Modular Origami Stars (Maria Sinayskaya)
The bigger stars are folded from double bronze rectangles (2:sqrt3) and the smaller one from bronze (1:sqrt3). Similar designs to the previous ones, with more interesting reverse sides.
6 units for each, no glue

I have to say, it's a great idea to keep the number of colors per pack limited to just 5 or 6. This way you have a nice palette with colors that work together and you have enough sheets of each color per pack. Ideal for modular origami!
A small storage/garage for the city. The ground floor of the green building was inspired by another one that I found around, but I can't find the photo or the author to sign the "credits".
Something simple to "cut" with the usual modular buildings design.
I wanted to see how the Ollivanders section of the official Diagon Alley (75978) would look if it were beefed up to a modular size. The most obvious change is the addition of the third floor of Ollivanders, but obviously the interiors of all floors have been updated. I will probably be tinkering with them in the future.

60° Origami Modulars (Maria Sinayskaya)
rectangles (3:4), double bronze, 12 units, no glue
Other rectangles are also possible with this folding sequence.
Modular Origami Stars (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 6 units, no glue
Fronts are exactly the same (on the top).
Below are 3 different reverses. The central one is somewhat flimsy, other two work better.

3x3 cm. Double tissue paper.
One of the latest.
I really really have bad times when it comes to finding high quality paper here in Mexico, and bring paper in from overseas is painfully expensive.
It may not have the vivid colors as Maria original ones, but I really hope to refold these stars with a better quality paper.
For most of the stars I keep the same color Maria is using, it seems she is unbeatable at the mixtures she uses for every star.
I don't have proper lighting equipment and I'm finding quite difficult to photograph tissue paper because some times is a bit reflective and you get reflections all over the model.
This photos will be a little weird when it comes to lighting and colors.
Modular origami wall art by Christine Kirk. She tells about her process in this blog post: www.allthingspaper.net/2021/04/modular-origami-wreath.html
Modular Origami Stars (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 6 units, no glue
Out of these three stars one features just a single pattern (star), another shows two (star+star) and the third combines 3 patterns (star+pinwheel+wreath).
Other stars with a single pattern (pinwheel, wreath):

Other stars with two elements combined (star+wreath, star+pinwheel, pinwheel+wreath):

There are some other combinations and with big enough squares one can go even deeper, adding more elements on top.
I used 7.5 cm kami paper by Peter Keller. Same pack as here:
This is a new version of my Modular Railway Station. The model consists of a main building and three platform sections.
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.
Modular Origami Coaster (Maria Sinayskaya)
circles, 6 units, no glue
One fold less than here and a star becomes a round coaster!
60° Origami Modulars (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 12, 5, 4 units, no glue
The units in the top picture are of different sizes (the farthest is the biggest). I have 5 such units actually, but folding all of those does not make much sense:)
This is a modular castle wall that can be expanded to your own liking. The main modules include the gate, the wall section and the corner section.
Each of them is connected to the other by technic pins.
If you wish to build these please check out the tutorials bellow:

A second row of petals can be found in the left unit on this photo.
Welcome to the home of the nerds! For my entry for the Nerdly Strikes Back Contest, I built Nerdly as a modular building that is not only the headquarters of the Bricknerds, but is also inhabited by all kinds of pop culture icons. So, in a way, all of these nerdy franchises are living inside of Nerdly's head. The ground level has the comic book & baseball card shop from The Simpsons and Bricknerd Studios. In the front, you can see Tommy handing off the keys to the studio to Dave. Meanwhile, Minecraft's Steve comes across a strange creature in a cave under the stairs. and a Ninja turtle pokes his head out of the sewers to see at a certain Police Box. Doc Brown puts himself in danger trying to capture lightning again and Spider-Man swings in to save him, while several more characters hang out on the roof. It's a nerd's dream house, and like all modulars, it has a fully detailed interior, so check out the other pictures in my photostream!
My latest experiment in something other than standard modular buildings. The alley features a dead end, some boxes and a dumpster.
MOC: Modular LEGO Store. Based on the LEGO Brand Retail Store set that has been used as a giveaway at store openings over the past couple of years, but blown up to minifig scale.
And yes, I know that the original set isn't a corner building, but I just hadn't built one yet and needed one for a layout I was working on :)
Make your very own Test Chamber out of LEGO, in any way that you want! First build the modular frame to the dimensions you choose, and then fill the walls and floor with tiles, platforms, buttons and more! Finally, add accessories such as turrets, cubes, small buttons, signs, cameras and most importantly, test subjects!
Includes four minifigures, Chell and 3 Aperture Science Sentry Turrets.
Completely modular design allows you to redesign the chamber for different tests.
Solve button puzzles with the Weighted Storage Cube, or dodge the laser sights of an array of turrets!
Use the 4 different pattern tiles to create any 2 digit number for the level sign.
Discover a hidden Ratman den behind the testing chamber walls.
Standard Testing Chamber arrangement is over 10" (25cm) long, 5" (12cm) deep and 6" (15cm) tall!
Combine multiple Modular Testing Chamber sets and your own module designs for unlimited variations. The possibilities are endless!
Parts Count: ???
Thanks to the awesome staff at Cuusoo who gave Portal a second look, this project is now on Cuusoo and 100% suportalable! If you'd like to see Portal LEGO sets become a reality, support it now at the Cuusoo project page!
These are my modular buildings I've created several years ago. Most of these are already on Brickshelf but since I'm not able to access that account anymore I decided to upload them onto my Flickr account as well.
I still didn't have the heart to take them apart. I've even upgraded most of them over the years. Here's a little back story on all of them (from left to right)
The Bank is actually the fifth building I've created back in 2010. It does not contain an interior yet (altough I have plans to make one in the future).
The Ice saloon is the third building I've built (2009). I wanted to do something different with the facade and the floor. It worked out almost as what I had in mind.
The Pizzeria was the first MOC I ever created. It was build in 2008. I've upgraded it a bit over the years.
The florist I build directly after I built the pizzeria in 2008. It has a interior on the first floor.
The Book shop is adapted from a moc from somebody else. I've created it in 2009.
The left building is supposed to be a post office/restaurant in a typical Dutch style. It has no interior yet but I plan to create one. I've built this one in 2011.
If you want any detail photo's, just ask. I'd be happy to post them.
The Modular Assault Gauntlet (MAG) is a wearable combat system. The MAG operates with a plug-in firing system connected to a touch-activated trigger on the palm of the glove. Weapon systems are then attached to the wrist of the gauntlet via a mounted picatinny rail. One of the currently available variants; the MAG-GL, utilizes a modified M203 grenade launcher along with a laser sight so a soldier is not required to have a grenade launcher attached to their rifle; thus freeing up their rifle for other potential combat systems. Other additional weapon systems are currently in research, such as a taser attachment for law enforcement.

This was a concept I've been thinking up for a the past few weeks. I'm still not sure how practical this would be irl but it's cool as hell.
Made from; a SI-DAN wrist watch, a Brickarms M203 grenade launcher, a Brickarms Tactical PDW, and a lego hand.

Maybe not the very best option to showcase the design but I had to fold these stars AND I wanted to test the paper, so there you go:)
