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.

32 8x8 mini-modulars designed over 2 months for the 2017 Rebrick Mini Building Madness contest. All purely 3D, no real build, parts in unavailable colors were allowed.
This modular building (32 x 32 studs) was inspired by The First Church of Springfield from "The Simpsons."
The interior features six full pews which can accommodate three minifigures each - for a total of 18 parishioners. Using the pipe organ you can sing along to "In the Garden of Eden" by I. Ron Butterfly or you may choose instead to use lectern to advertise for Mr. Plow.
In addition to high-quality, easy-to-follow PDF instructions, I also provide a series of PNG files that give you options to create stickers/custom prints for the church's infamous marquee sign.

The facade of this hospital is modelled after Ullevål Universitetssykehus, which is a hospital in Oslo, Norway.
Made for the Modular Madness contest on Eurobricks.
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.
A Greek meander pattern folded as modular origami. The bent frame technique is the “Thoki Yenn style” which I also employed in a number of other models.
Each of the five full loops of the curve is a single unit, folded from a 1:5 rectangle, so that the whole model can be made from five pieces cut from a single square. Of course, it is possible to add as many units as required to make a longer model.
In theory, one could fold the whole thing (or even arbitrarily many turns of the curve) from a single long strip of paper, but such long strips are not very practical to fold with. For those who do not like even 1:5 ratio paper, it is possible to make each segment a separate unit, thus exchanging the ease of folding for much more measuring and cutting.
Name: 6 modular cubes placed one inside the other

God, this photo's terrible. Anywho, I thought I may as well pop a WIP shot of some stuff I've been working on. The building on the left is supposed to be a florist. I'll have to take more detailed and, quite frankly, way better, photos of the inside to show off a technique I used on the wall. Might be new, might not be. You can also see a sliver of the pet shop, which has undergone some re-modelling.
On the right is a coffee shop. So far, I'm quite happy with it. Like the florist, I'll have to take better shots of the inside.
Now, don't go expecting frequent WIP uploads. The reason this is all there is is, well, I've run out of bricks (yet i was still somehow able to build the next floor base and the roof). Really gotta order some in, particularly sand green. Out of interest, does anyone have an idea of the existence of 1X1 plates in sand green? Also what set they come in if they do exist. Cheers :D

This is the smallest configuration - a 32 x 32 sized landing pad for small ships. The best part is I can expand it like a rectangle if I want.
8x8 mini-modular designed for the Rebrick Mini-building Madness 2017 contest (3D model, no restriction on part colors).
Not exactly built "in a tree", rather emerging from the bark of a large sequoia, this house is accessed from an elevator hidden inside the supporting shaft, its entrance being in a secret cave inside the hill.

Something I ended up with after some fiddling with this modular.
A bit too much fiddling, probably...

I think this one has a better layer contribution... or maybe not :)

The future is now! Except it was yesterday. And it didn't happen. Welcome to the museum of the amazing science fiction of the 50's, the crazy predictions for the future, flying cars and cheesy robots. May contain traces of radiation, do not stay in for prolonged periods of time.
Bring a hint of magic to your LEGO city with a Modular 12 Grimmauld Place!
This modular building (32 x 32 studs) was designed with two of the official sets (76408); however additional pieces will be necessary. Perhaps you'd like to sell the minifigures from a second copy of the set to finance the additional pieces. ;)
Find the instructions for both builds here and on Rebrickable.com!

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.

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).

This unit can be either a star or a frame. Or both simultaneously :)
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 xueren . 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.
a modular model taught by Julia Schönhuber in Vienna. folded from 6 sheets of her paper. she didn't know the designer, though.

A modular sushi bar.
The lower level features the sushi bar including a 和室 (japanese room) which is currently packed with a lot of salary men and woman which have been invited by their boss for after hour drinks. Within the restaurant you can choose to either dine the traditional way at the bar where the itamae is serving you directly or sit down with a group of people at one of the tables. The middle and upper level features an apartment.
It took me a while to get a new build done due to lack of time and inspiration but once I started again it was quite a breeze. I enjoyed using some new pieces, especially all the new tiles which are round or partially round. Also finally I could build windows using the new double jumper tile as a base. The biggest challenge from an architectural standpoint was the topmost corner of the building which took me quite a few tries until I was happy with it (I fell in love with the new semi cut 1x2 round slope!).
