This is a Lego modular of the F-town Building located in Sendai, Japan by architect Atelier Hitoshi Abe. About 8500 bricks of which over 3000 are white 1x1 plates. 😂 Computer rendering but only existing bricks were used. Reference images.
"No infected for almost five years. Compared to back then, the streets feel even more so empty.
I am the natural resistance in this time of isolation and doubt. With every change mankind achieved, even more stayed the same. A new identity past the war, a new life and never the less the unaltered destiny of the deserter. Those in the shadows still hide behind their false safety; they deny the unwritten history of their regime. The hunt is on and they will find me, for the sole reason that I want to be found.
No infected, but one."
This installment follows the protagonist as he is about to turn himself in to the state he once served for, a point central to his plan for vengeance. The half stud offset stairs and the plate stone texture was strongly influenced by Tayasuune.

“An old knight is enjoying his retirement and pursuing his hobbies after years of battles and quests.” Howdy flickr! I’ve built with Lego for as long as I can remember, but I’ve only recently gotten back into it, and this is the first castle MOC I’ve built in a long time. I would appreciate any comments or feedback, hope you enjoy!
With this building I wanted to create a single-color house and instead of colors using a lot of structure on the facade. The building can be opened at the back and when fully opened, the two parts of the back expands the facade on the front and it becomes a 64 studs wide building. On the ground floor there is an architecture office and above that a large apartment. About 9700 bricks. Computer rendering but only existing bricks/colors were used.
The house is a calm and silent place to call home. The livingroom is hovering above the still water of the swimming pool. The living area is divided into different floor levels. Kitchen and toilet are located on ground floor. Landing, livingroom, bedroom and bathroom can be found on next level. A combined music and reading corner is hosted on the highest level. A friend of mine told me that she imagined this house to be located in Italy. I think that Italy is a very good guess.

My LEGO replica of the Detroit Public Library, Main Branch is part of the Michigan Lego User Group (MichLUG) display in the Henry Ford museum from Nov. 20, 2016 to early January 2017.
This is the first time my complete model of the Cass Gilbert designed Detroit Public Library has been on display. I have not modeled the 1960s additions with the exception of the Cass ave. entrance.
The Lutheran Baroque church was completed in 1743 after a mere 17 years of construction. The dome, measuring 26 meters in diameter, was – and still is – the largest brick-built dome north of the Alps. But in relatively recent years, the building has become famous for a tragedy that affected many of its kind. During a bombing raid on the night of February 13, 1945, in the last months of the war in Europe, the church caught fire and collapsed two days later. The GDR administration kept the ruins as a memorial against the war. While many other destroyed historic buildings in Dresden were reconstructed, plans to rebuild the church were put on hold.
Reconstruction of the weathered sandstone ruins was commenced during the mid-1990s and funded by national and international trusts. Every piece of debris was cataloged and evaluated, and original materials used wherever possible. In 2005, the project was completed and the rebuilt Frauenkirche stands in central Dresden as it has since its original completion three hundred years ago.
The model consists of 591 pieces and is built in scale 1:650. The use of dark tan pieces across the façade pictures the use of weathered original materials and newly sourced sandstone bricks, as was done during the reconstruction.
With this building I wanted to create a single-color house and instead of colors using a lot of structure on the facade. The building can be opened at the back and when fully opened, the two parts of the back expands the facade on the front and it becomes a 64 studs wide building. On the ground floor there is an architecture office and above that a large apartment. About 9700 bricks. Computer rendering but only existing bricks/colors were used.

The left section showcases some intense damage. An intact version of it would probably look like a large window over the two storeys of the building, only separated by the dark tan stripe.
This project was equally focused on modern architecture and believable damage. That sort of focus has already been the leading theme of my Raid diorama and it once again proved to be a fun thing to make. I also intended to work primarily with slightly less common colors here, namely a lot of dark tan and dark orange. The base is 24x32 studs large.
This is my personal version of Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany in Architecture style!
I love this castle, since my childhood. It has a magical charm, like it comes from a fantasy novel...
It is said that even Walt Disney was inspired by it in the concepting Sleeping Beauty's Castle for his parks!
So I tried to capture its original composition in relatively few pieces.
If you want, I added its instructions on Rebrickable!

One thing I love about exploring new cities is the refreshing feeling of wanting to know more about its history and the landmarks which have weathered it all. Philadelphia was no exception for me in this regard after spending a full day scouring its streets last September. What was exceptional, however, is that I took enough inspiration with me to channel into not just one, but TWO all-new works depicting some of the city's most historical sites!
You can be the first to see both of those new works, and get access to exclusive rewards when you become a patron on my Patreon page!
Barrel vault for roof still not done yet, but station is almost 7 feet long and more than 3 feet wide.
UPDATE: The "wagon wheel" window has been replaced by something much better.

⛲ This ENORMOUS Nymphaeum featured astral motifs in its seven niches, while covering the unsightly substructure of the Palatine Hill.
Name any of the decorative stones preferred by the Romans, the Septizodium likely featured it!
💎 Built on the orders of Septimius Severus, the lavish materials included porphyry, portasanto rosato and cippolino marbles, as well as gilded aspects.

This one has been done in media form, as an old BBC TV serial. Most of my direct inspiration comes from the illustrations in the book.

The third LEGO skyscraper goes up in Wasabi District! At just over 3 feet tall and over 5000 pieces, this 10-storey building is the first office skyscraper in Wasabi District!
The white flowers surround this split-level house inspired by 20th Century modernist architecture. The SNOT windows along the livingroom and bedroom started this build and it is almost a little brother to my previous Artsand House MOC. As always, I've spent a lot of time working on the interiors and I'm pretty fond of the combined kitchen and livingroom myself. I hope you like it too!
Second photo shoot.
Skyscraper inspired by the Lego House in Billund, Denmark. Computer rendering but buildable if you have the bricks.
A modern tree house inspired by a house by A.Masow Architects. About 4500 bricks. Computer rendering but only existing bricks/colors were used. Reference images.
So I won a place in the LEGOLAND Billund Gallery and the entry I chose was actually too big to fit. Ever tried shrinking a model? Yeah, you better start from scratch. At least that’s what I did. I laid out the size it can have, so that I could transport it in a box and within that frame I started to build the base again. The build is now in a cabinet at LEGOLAND for the season 2022.
This modular building is inspired by the modern Scandinavian architecture of the Rosendal neighborhood in Uppsala, Sweden. The wooden house consists of two parts, a cafe and apartments. About 3500 bricks. Computer rendering but only existing bricks were used.
\\The use of words among the flanking group happened sporadically as they pushed their way through the battle-dirty streets.
The focus on the fight left mainly the sounds of blaster fire and explosions to fill the city surroundings.
The small capital city of Garang, home to a simple people that sought a peaceful life, had become a battle ground that extended its destruction from the inside-out.
This tactic by the battle droids resulted in many buildings un-touched, but others, sometimes only meters away, laid in waste as blaster and mortar fire pummeled them.
It is up to Havoc's attack force to flank the droid forces and navigate through the city to bring a swift recovery to the CIS invasion.//
A modern home filled with Technic parts experiments and hinged roof designs. The colours and geometry are inspired by a small bird - the Wagtail - a common sight where I live in Sweden.

Downtown Records is a modular record shop, ready and waiting to take it’s place in your LEGO city, I have packed it with brick built detail as well as custom printed parts (two of my favourite things about LEGO sets). I will gradually be revealing more of this project over time, but to start with I have revealed images of the building from the front, the side and the record store interior.
In total, Downtown Records contains about 3000 bricks and is divided into three sections. The bottom section includes a street scape including traffic light and crossing, leafy tree (I am particularly happy with how the tree turned out – I only had to rebuild it four times!) and a small news stand. Inside on the ground floor of the building there is the record store itself with shelves bulging with custom printed records on 2×2 tiles, a bathroom, and access to the staircase leading upstairs.
My aim with the design of the facade was to create a believable downtown two storey brick-faced building with stucco detailing and ornate architectural cornicing.
So if you would like to help make Downtown Records a real LEGO set, it’s free to support, all you need to do is head on over to LEGO Ideas, sign up for an account and hit that blue support button!

This tower was designed by Adrian Smith in 1999, who later came up with skyscrapers such as the Jin Mao Tower or Burj Khalifa, the highest building in the world. 7 South Dearborn, located in Chicago, would have been the highest building in the world of its time as well. Standing exactly 2000 feet or 610 meters tall, including antennas (which would have been part of the architectural design), it would have surpassed Petronas Towers by more than 150 meters. But the tower was cancelled, obviously, due to financial concerns. Nonetheless, its slender design, forced by the narrow lot, was way ahead of its time; residential buildings grew as tall in New York or Dubai a decade later. 7 South Dearborn's design cues live on in the city, though, through Trump International Hotel and Tower, which is heavily inspired by the tower's proposed facade.
The building consists of 3,526 pieces and is built in scale 1:650.
