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.
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).
Origami Modular, 60° at the tip (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 12, 4 units, no glue
Folded in between game drives in Kruger Park:)
My latest experiment in something other than standard modular buildings. The alley features a dead end, some boxes and a dumpster.
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.

I was fiddling around with buildings today. The ultra modular system pictured here was a total but very lucky accident.

Folded from a sheet of crumpled (VOG) paper glued to a sheet of Japanese origami foil.
Test shot of my big project, a 50s/60s era boardwalk set on the moon that I like to call the Moonwalk. :)
Every building has some type of animated feature and is built on a modular base that can be repeated.
Currently working on the BIG addition as well as customizing some minifigs for set dressing, stay tuned.
I designed this with the Parisian Restaurant in mind, but it is made to be totally modular and used with any Modular from Lego or custom built.
The central part of my idea is the park, which in turn can be used as a larger park or two smaller ones, on the likes of the Lego Pet Shop modular.
But there’s more! It can be connected to extra pavements and these can also be used with your modulars, to create squares, make a standard modular look like a corner one, or create your own and unique combination. Did I mention that there's also a colorful mosaic?
There's a bunch of accessories, from a fire hydrant to a comfy bench, and some of them are used to disguise the standard Technic brick used to connect modulars.
And if that was not enough, you will get a lot of accessories to make your city stem to life!
There's a newspaper kiosk, designed to remind the Parisian ones, a crepes rickshaw, a trash trolley, a monumental statue, two wonderfully flowered trees and a big oak tree to give some shade in the park.
And then several other smaller accessories that can be used with this set or all over your modular town.
And, last but not least, there’s 7 minifigs (and a dog) to animate the town!
If you are a Lego Modulars fan, you will want to have all of these in your Lego town.

Some other variations of this unit.
I've refined the modular building quite a lot. The corner pieces are solid to provide bracing but all others components are totally modular.
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.
Well, town is a strong word for it. Small street would be abetter description. So, this is my current project, a modular road. Ignore the random citizens in the actual road bit, they belong to the other side which isn't quite finished yet, due to a severe lack of parts.
So, we've currently got (on this side at least) a modded pet shop, the florist, which is still a work in progress, and the detectives office.
When I first started this, the pavement (or 'sidewalk' for the Americans), spanned the entirety of the studded part of the baseplates. However, in a moment of inspiration, I decided to fill the sides of the road with raised flower beds (flowers yet to be added). Quite a nice solution really.
So, that's it for now. At some point I'll upload a picture of the horror that is, the other side.
Paper: Hexagons cutted from 20 cm, 15 cm, 10 cm, 7.5 cm and 5 cm Glassine
Modules: 5
Based on a Model by Tomoko Fuse
Wanted to redo this star for some time with more layers. To fit one hexagon into the other, I had to fold the other tips outside too and couldn't use Tomoko Fuse's locking mechanism. Depending on the size of the inner hexagon, the layers are moving a bit.
8x8 mini-modular designed for the Rebrick Mini-building Madness 2017 contest (3D model, no restriction on part colors).
The Selfish Shellfish Self-Service Seafood Restaurant. Pick fresh seafood on the first floor, take it home or eat it in a cozy room on the second floor.
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.

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.
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):
www.flickr.com/photos/goorigami/26481623896/in/photostream/
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:
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:)
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 new version of my Modular Railway Station. The model consists of a main building and three platform sections.

Modular Origami Coaster (Maria Sinayskaya)
circles, 6 units, no glue
One fold less than here and a star becomes a round coaster!
"Star of the Sea" by Ivan Morison (UK)
location: beach at Zeedijk 35, Zeebrugge, Belgium
(Beaufort24)
La Triennale Beaufort en est à sa huitième édition. Beaufort24 présente 18 nouvelles œuvres d'art dans le cadre unique de la Côte Belge.
Conçu pour la plage de Zeebrugge, Star of the Sea attire l'attention de loin par sa structure étendue et ses cheminées remarquables. La présence étrange et monumentale dans la station balnéaire explore l'interaction entre l'art, l'industrie, la nature et l'écologie. (...)
Cette imposante structure en béton est un croisement entre une sculpture et un bâtiment. Elle est construite à partir de tubes cylindriques, de chambres d'inspection triangulaires et de composants modulaires. Les matériaux font référence aux activités industrielles de la région et aux infrastructures urbaines cachées (...)
Quiconque entre par les entrées circulaires se retrouve dans un tunnel et découvre les jeux changeants de la lumière et de l'ombre, des sons et des odeurs. Le visiteur et le passant sont invités à explorer l'espace : s'allonger, réfléchir, s'asseoir, jouer et interagir entre eux et avec l'environnement. Les ouvertures fournissent des images « périscopiques » des sites radicalement contrastés du port industriel, des dunes, de la mer, des villas le long du sentier pédestre... Elles sont atypiques pour la côte belge et appartiennent au paysage polyvalent de Zeebrugge. Star of the Sea s'inscrit dans la longue exploration de l'artiste sur la façon dont l'art dans l'espace public répond aux situations. (...)
Le temple en béton – entouré de sable – reflète le temps et l'éphémère. L'Étoile de la Mer (Star of the Sea) comme baromètre du changement.

De Beaufort Triënnale is aan zijn achtste editie toe. Beaufort24 presenteert 18 nieuwe kunstwerken in het unieke kader van de Belgische Kust.
Ontworpen voor het strand van Zeebrugge trekt Star of the Sea met zijn omvangrijke structuur en opmerkelijke schoorstenen al van ver de aandacht. De bevreemdende, monumentale aanwezigheid in de badplaats verkent de wisselwerking tussen kunst, industrie, natuur en ecologie. (...)
Deze imposante structuur uit beton houdt het midden tussen een beeldhouwwerk en een gebouw. Het is opgebouwd uit cilindrische buizen, driehoekige inspectiekamers en modulaire onderdelen. De materialen verwijzen naar de industriële activiteiten in de streek en verborgen stadsinfrastructuur (...)
Wie door de circulaire ingangen naar binnen stapt, bevindt zich in een tunnel en ervaart het wisselende spel van licht en schaduw, geluiden en geuren. De bezoeker en de passant worden uitgenodigd om de ruimte te verkennen: te liggen, te reflecteren, te zitten, te spelen en in interactie te gaan met elkaar en met de omgeving. De openingen zorgen voor 'periscopische' beelden van de radicaal contrasterende sites in de industriële haven, de duinen, de zee, de villa's langs de wandelweg ... Ze zijn atypisch voor de Belgische Kust en behoren tot het veelzijdige landschap van Zeebrugge. Star of the Sea past in de lange verkenningstocht van de kunstenaar die nagaat hoe kunst in de openbare ruimte op situaties reageert. (...)
De betonnen tempel – omgeven door zand – weerspiegelt tijd en vergankelijkheid. Star of the Sea als barometer voor verandering.

The Beaufort Triennale is in its eighth edition. Beaufort24 presents 18 new works of art in the unique setting of the Belgian Coast.
Designed for the beach of Zeebrugge, Star of the Sea attracts attention from afar with its extensive structure and remarkable chimneys. The strange, monumental presence in the seaside resort explores the interaction between art, industry, nature and ecology. (...)
This imposing concrete structure is a cross between a sculpture and a building. It is constructed from cylindrical tubes, triangular inspection chambers and modular components. The materials refer to the industrial activities in the region and hidden city infrastructure (...)
Anyone who enters through the circular entrances finds himself in a tunnel and experiences the changing play of light and shadow, sounds and smells. The visitor and passer-by are invited to explore the space: to lie down, reflect, sit, play and interact with each other and the environment. The openings provide 'periscopic' images of the radically contrasting sites in the industrial port, the dunes, the sea, the villas along the walking path ... They are atypical for the Belgian Coast and belong to the versatile landscape of Zeebrugge. Star of the Sea fits into the artist's long exploration of how art in public space responds to situations. (...)
The concrete temple – surrounded by sand – reflects time and transience. Star of the Sea as a barometer for change.
