Modular Origami Star (Maria Sinayskaya)

Almost the same as the previous model but slightly bigger.
Folded with paper from "Zen Origami" book.
If you still have some of this paper left and want to replicate – let me know :)
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.

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:

8-unit modular, designed and folded by me. The butterfly is supposed to look like the traditional origami butterfly, although the structure is different.
A modular school.
Building instruction is available at: rebrickable.com/users/peedeejay/mocs/
Every city needs a school! The build spans among 3 baseplates and consists of 10 modules. The baseplates can be separated from each other for easy transportation. The complete model weighs about 10kg and has 14417 parts.
The front part contains the main entrance, some trees and a bus stop. The roof areas contain the ventilation units, photovoltaics and the clock.
The ground floor contains the main entrance hall with washrooms for boys and girls. The right wing of the ground floor contains a standard classroom for maths and literature. The left wing of the ground floor contains the music classroom, featuring a piano, drums and some other instruments.
The middle floor contains a cafeteria, where the students can get a quick bite and some refreshments. The left wing of the middle floor contains an IT-classroom and it seems the students are well stocked on mobile devices. The right wing of the middle floor contains the science classroom. At the moment some experiments are ongoing in the chemistry class.
The upper floor contains the library.
A modular castle MOC that I've built recently as a present for my six years old pal that I use to play with quite a lot (or just my nephew if you will ;) ). It includes a main gate with working drawbridge and portcullis, foldable walls and lots of space to place and pose the minifigures. As much as I could, I was trying to achieve the look and feel of the old LEGO castles that I played with as a kid back in the 80s and 90s.
Design of the battlements modules for the towers and the main gate was heavily inspired by the Kingdoms Modular Castle Creator LEGO Ideas project by Michael Kalkwarf (www.flickr.com/photos/michaelkalkwarf/).

I am not sure that I am the first one to design this, please tell me if this is designed earlier by someone.
LDD WIP image. This pair of LEGO modular buildings are built on a 32x32 baseplate and are inspired by LEGO Bricksburgs buildings featured in the Video Game and Movie. Currently no interiors and planning a colour change on the narrow building.
Render (Using LDD2PovRay) of the mini modulars with the three add ons: Mini Haunted House (flic.kr/p/dxRZXT), Mini Townhouse (flic.kr/p/dxXr4j) and Mini Townhall (flic.kr/p/bTC3Qv)
Some details not changed since they are not allowed on LDD.
Early work in progress on a MOC you can see finished here. This is basically a "sketch in LEGO" I think.
I started a modular cross-section standard and here you see the modular sections waiting to be filled in. By the end I widened a few sections but for the most part this was the final blueprint.

Modular Vegetable Garden created as a central MOC for my city. Playing around with NPU building techniques en cool references.
This is a little bit of something I'm doing for The Studio, a yarn shop where I work. (www.thestudiokc.com) This was an interesting experiment. It's hard photographing with an emphasis on the garment when you're used to the emphasis being on the person. I hope not too much got lost in translation.
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.

There are four pieces missing from the LXF. You have to imagine four 1x1 Technic Brick with pin hole placed there. (Pin holes have restrictions in LDD)

As the sun drops, the shadows align into a strict pattern of alternating dark and bright planes. The repetition becomes almost architectural music, precise yet alive with the remnants of daylight.

Lego modular inspired by rococo architecture. Computer rendering but only existing bricks were used.
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).
