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.

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!

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.

In November 2019, immediately after I had finished designing SPQR, I took a trip to Italy and spent a few days in the Eternal City to see the ruins of Imperial Rome for myself. After a full day of walking through the Colosseum and Forum, then around the Palatine Hill, I made my way on foot to St. Peter’s Square a mile-and-a-half away to see the piazza at night in anticipation of the next morning’s tour. Perhaps in a similar vein of anticipation, I quickly knew that Vatican City would be my next foray into Italian architecture. The formidable impression of walking beneath the city’s tall outer walls in contrast with the accessibility to a rich diversity of world heritage within the corridors of the Musei Vaticani were more than enough to cement this inception with imagined Italian Carrara marble.
One year later, my fully realized landscape piece of Vatican City comes in at approximately 67,000 parts; only about 1,000 parts more than SPQR. With more than 500 hours of design time over the course of seventy days, this piece far surpasses that of SPQR and even my Forbidden City piece of earlier this year, despite the latter coming in considerably larger at roughly 84,000 pieces. To attribute this to any one factor – be it diverseness in style or such an irregular layout – might speciously overlook the experiential order in which I went about designing the layout.
The design process began, fittingly, with St. Peter’s Basilica and St. Peter’s Square, pictured west to east from the lower-middle. Next up were the various administrative buildings roughly on the site of the original Circus of Caligula just south of the Basilica, including the sacristy and the wedge-shaped Paul VI Audience Hall. From there, I continued with much of the other largely obscure smaller buildings in the northeast corner of the city, followed by the St. Peter’s Square-adjacent Apostolic Palace, situated at an angle of roughly thirty degrees to the rather outwardly inconspicuous Sistine Chapel (nearly parallel with the Basilica itself). Then came the long rectangular corridors and courtyards of the Vatican Museums, running north from the Basilica at a slight angle. This difference in alignment is maintained throughout much of the remaining gardens, which themselves were also designed sequentially in four additional separate stages. All in all, the landscape consists of fifteen pieces of base with the Basilica acting as the keystone to which seven other pieces of the base attach.
Lego Star Wars Moc
On the frozen world of Orto Plutonia, Rebels uncovered an Imperial outpost, only to find it was a secret ISB laboratory. Determined to expose its purpose, they launched a daring infiltration, hoping to uncover the dark secrets buried beneath the ice.
\\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.
Vanilla House is a modern home with two floors. The ground floor house body is tan coloured and shaped like an "L". This is cut through by an inverted "L" consisting of many small plates in tan, dark tan, DBG, LBG and black.
Downstairs you find a kitchen, TV-lounge and bathroom. A black, floating staircase leads to the bedroom upstairs. The bedroom has glass walls to let in the light. The roof offers shadow.
The geometrical shapes inspired me to start building this MOC. In some way it is like a puzzle game.
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.
The construction of Eiffel Tower was largely overseen by French civil engineer, Alexandre Gustave Eiffel, whose name has lived on as synonymous with the tower he was determined to build and who ran a successful practice known as Compagnie des Établissements Eiffel ...

Throwback to a moc that I created two years ago. New renderings and some minor changes from the original moc. Väven is a cultural center in Umeå, Sweden located next to Ume River. Väven was built in 2011-2014 and next to Väven is the hotel Stora Hotellet. Architects are Norwegian Snøhetta and White arkitekter. Computer rendering but only existing bricks were used.
About one year ago I published pictures of this MOC for the first time. My first modern home. Since then I've built many and it has become "my thing". A couple of days ago I looked at my old photos of Green Rock House and wasn't really satisfied with them. That is the reason I now publish some shots with better light setting.

Uppsala City Hall was first built 1957. However, it was only partially built according to the original drawings. This year the shape of the building was completed by Henning Larsen Architects. LEGO model has about 9300 bricks and is about 50x50 cm. If you want, you can visit Uppsala City Hall to see this model built ”non-digital” by Daniel Eggens.

Västmanlands-Dala Nation is one of the 13 student nations at Uppsala University in Sweden. The house of Västmanlands-Dala Nation drawn by the Finnish architect Alvar Aalto was built in 1965. Lego microscale model consists of about 950 bricks. Computer rendering but buildable if you have the bricks.
This build is a large castle/landscape display featuring The Knights of the Black Falcon and The Forest Guard.
First and foremost the aim of this build was to showcase what I love about those classic mid-80s Castle sets and specifically my two favourite factions. I have drawn inspiration from the original sets featuring each faction, specifically what I loved about them as a child and aimed to contrast that with what appeals to me as an adult builder.
The build features two fortresses side by side, Falkenholt Castle, the fortress of the Knights of the Black Falcon and an underground network of caves and tunnels that comprise the fortress of the Forest Guard.
Some of the elements that I am most happy with in this build are the level of detail and texture, the cross-section style cutaway on the edges of the build showing the internal structure of the castle as well as the geological layers of rock, clay and soil.

Two townhouses inspired by houses located on Upper East Side, Manhattan, New York. Each house is build as a separate 16x32 modular house. In total about 4800 bricks. Computer renderings but only existing bricks were used.
I always had a soft spot for those beautiful Victorian jubilee clocks which were a big inspiration here. The ornamentation is meant to honor the four pillars of the empire: engineering, aviation, seafaring and conquest. I purposely decided to use this „oldschool“ color scheme with only primary colors, black, white and grey to highlight its historic significance (in Lego terms of course).

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.
These gates marked the starting point for chariot racers and were slightly curved, indicating precise alignment of equal starting positions.

Etemenanki (what can be translated as “House of the Platform between Heaven and Earth”) was a giant temple in ancient Babylon. Babylonian or Sumerian temples are known as ziggurats (“to build high”) and were built in the Mesopotamian region of today’s Iraq and Iran, the earliest even before Egyptians began to erect their tombs into the sky. They comprise of a tiered pyramid structure with a flat top, where the holy shrine was located. Etemenanki was built over the course of three to seven centuries, beginning around 1000 BCE, to honor the city’s patron deity, Marduk. It was subject of constant construction and expansion. Slowly, the temple has risen into the sky, featuring indigo and gold façades at the very top, where only the highest priests were allowed to go. But it was heavily damaged by Assyrian invaders in the seventh century BCE and deteriorated over the next three hundred years. Alexander the Great, astonished by its still awe-inspiring presence, ordered its destruction and complete rebuild. But his death in 323 BCE crossed these plans. Today, only foundations are still visible.
Etemenanki’s influence on the contemporary ancient peoples was immense, so that it is presumed to be the earthly origin of the Biblical tale of the Tower of Babel; such buildings were massive undertakings, which required enormous amounts of resources and influenced the lives of tens of thousands of people.
The model consists of 1,042 pieces, is built in scale 1:650, and is created after descriptions on the Esagila Tablet, which was written during the reign of Nebuchadnezzar II around 600 BCE. According to this, Etemenanki measured 91 meters in width, length and height, though recent studies suggest, that these figures might be exaggerated.
