This build is created exclusively with parts from the LEGO Architecture set Las Vegas (21047). I got that set from my husband as a Christmas gift and couldn't help experimenting a bit...
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.
👨💻 We begin with the Forum of Caesar, the first of FIVE Imperial Fora designed over the course of a month.
📜 The Imperial Fora were built over the course of three centuries. The first was ordered by Julius Caesar: and the other four by either four or five successive emperors; each vying to outdo the previous, both in opulence and in scale!
Don't miss the very first DESIGN Insights post highlighting Phase II of my ongoing efforts to build all of Ancient Rome, circa mid-4th century CE!
😎 These insights are EXCLUSIVE to Corinthian patrons, and peel back the curtain months before these designs will be shared publicly. The renderings, on the other hand, are shared with patrons of all tiers.

Alexander Twilight Hall, Middlebury College
Built in 1867 to serve as the town’s elementary school, it was purchased by Middlebury College in 1984. Following extensive renovations, it was renamed Alexander Twilight Hall after the first African American college graduate in the United States, Middlebury College class of 1823. Twilight was an educator, minister, and politician. In fact, he was the first African American elected to a state legislature before the Civil War.
Battell Bridge, Downtown Middlebury
After 106 years and five wooden bridges, the citizens of Middlebury, Vermont finally decided to build a permanent stone bridge across the Otter Creek in the heart of town. Modeled after Rome’s Ponte Sant’Angelo which has spanned the Tiber since 130 A.D., the town allocated $12,000 for the project, with Joseph and Phillip Battell offering to pay anything over that amount. It was completed in 1893, $19,000 over budget.
First Congregational Church of Middlebury
The First Congregational Church of Middlebury is widely considered to be one of the finest examples of its kind in New England. Designed by Lavius Fillmore, it was completed in 1809. Fillmore took a unique approach to the Middlebury church design, modeling the tower for the edifice after Joseph Brown’s First Baptist Church in Providence, Rhode Island, which was itself inspired by a design completed by architect James Gibbs. A special construction feature was a flexible frame and rocking steeple that could withstand strong winds, such as the 1938 and 1950 hurricanes which destroyed most of the other spires in town.
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 resting chair under the stairs in the corridor between the social kitchen area and the bedroom.
Modern living inspired by old open-air-bath architecture as the house is standing on pillars in water and is offering an open space for bathing in the middle.
You enter the terrace through the rock on the backside of the house. On the terrace you find a small outdoor kitchen and table with chairs made of ladders and steering wheels. Kitchen, reading corner, livingroom and sauna with shower on first floor.
The house is entered from the terrace. A high plated wall goes though this floor leading from the hallway to the master bedroom and bathroom. Here you sleep with a 180 degrees sea view.
The floor below is reached by a floating staircase attached to the wall. A corridor with a resting chair (made of life preservers) and glass cabinet combines two parts of the house. One of them is hosting a kitchen and dining area. The other one is hosting a livingroom. Here you also find a small sauna and shower room with a ladder leading directly down to the water.
This is my third house built into a rock. The other two are called "Green Rock House" and "Calmwater Cliff House".
The north tower of my LEGO model of the Guardian Building has now reached the 32nd story of it full the 40 story height. It is currently 6.5 feet (2 meters) high and the eight modular sections currently weight in aggregate 147 pounds (66.8 Kg).
I am now reaching the very detailed top stories. Unfortunately, I have had to simplify the number of brick-built setbacks at this scale. This model has taken far longer than any other LEGO building. Nevertheless I should have it done for this fall's display at the Henry Ford Museum.
🎪 This week's DESIGN Insights covering the most iconic landmark in Roman history are available to ALL patrons on my Patreon page, not just the top tier Corinthians! 🎪
️ The Colosseum was built both to cement the Flavian dynasty firmly in the hearts & minds of Roman citizens, and to return a portion of Rome back to its people after so much had been swallowed up by Nero's personal residence. ️
🗽 It was the proximity of the enormous bronze Colossus that gave the Flavian Amphitheatre its colloquial name during the middle ages. 🗽

As you can see, the micropolis is split into four equal sections which are specially build to split up without having to take anything apart for transport.
The SV-Hochhaus is the newly built headquarters of the Süddeutsche Verlag after the company moved out of the city center. It was initially planned as 145-meter-tall landmark in Munich’s industrial east. But the same citizens’ initiative stopping many other high-rise projects in Munich brought this to a halt, too. Following the referendum, the roof height was set to 100 meters, forcing GKK+Architekten to completely rethink their concept. Nonetheless, it was opened in July 2007, after just over one year of construction.
The complex features an intricate façade with sharply angled windowpanes creating a diamond-like effect on the surface. Unfortunately, it was not possible to recreate this mesmerizing effect at this scale.
The model consists of 1,101 pieces and is built in scale 1:650. It features a detailed rendition of the “Atrium”, the building's impressive lobby, which is accessible through a removable roof.
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.

A simple build showing a classic front door entranceway with some stylish planters and a nice Holiday wreath. Happy Holidays everyone!
I've build this interlude especially for a LUG venue in about 1,5 months.
From what you see 95% is new. I only reused the fountain, the gondolas and the street lighting from my previous Venice moc. The rest is new and build from the ground up.
Even the water had to be rebuild because it fell apart when i broke down venice part 1 in 23'
I hope you enjoy what you see, and if you have any technique breakdown requests. Let me know

Central Park West Facade
Over the last 6 weeks, I had the amazing opportunity to design and build my largest LEGO creation yet. When the National Building Museum announced they were expanding their exhibit on LEGO architecture and invited Robert A.M. Stern Architects to submit a model, I jumped at the chance. There were a lot of long hours and sleepless nights as a result, but I am very happy with the end result and am honored to have something that can be enjoyed by thousands rather than just anyone who happens to be in my living room. Here are some facts and statistics:
Project: 15 Central Park West
Architect: Robert A.M. Stern Architects, LLP
Location: New York, New York
Building Height: 548 ft (35 stories)
Scale of Model: 1” = 16’-0”
Height of Model: 36”
Number of Pieces Used: over 30,000
Time to Create: 200 hours (100 hours to design; 100 hours to build)
This model is now on display in the National Building Museum in Washington, DC as part of the expanded exhibit LEGO Architecture: Towering Ambition from now until September 3, 2012. It is in the company of 15 models by LEGO certified professional builder Adam Reed Tucker, so I did my best to create something deserving of sharing the floor with them.
My entry for a competition to build a famous building on 8x8. I was one of the happy winers and got published in Bricks magazine. =)
️ The circus-shaped gardens of the Domus Augustana were enclosed by a long, double-height portico.
✍️ The gardens were designed by Roman architect, Rabirius, who also designed many other aspects of the Flavian palace.

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.
The newly restored and substantially redesigned version of my original 2015 piece depicting the Palace of Westminster in London.

On a recent trip to the coast, I noticed the many ways in which Land meets Water.
This MOC is an attempt to mimic rockwork as arches using plates. The result was a bowl shaped island which I made into a self sustained island village.
This is one of my last MOC about famous architectural landmark: Secession Building in Vienna.
It is particoularly difficult and funny create the correct form for the enormous ball of golden foliage! :)
I have wanted to build this house in Lego for a long time. However, the house is too big for minifig scale and a lot of details would be lost in micro scale. But when I saw this recently taken photo of the house, with the beautiful pink flowering tree in front of the house, it felt like a perfect alternative to build the tree with the house in the background.
A year ago I decided to only use existing bricks for my digital MOCs. But this time I really wanted to capture the original color of the house together with the color of the tree. Therefore this build is an exception from my rule. However, if you look at next/previous image you can see how this house would look if only existing bricks were used.
Here's some WIP images of my latest project. I have been working on this the past month or so. Please check @wooootles on Instagram, as I tend to put more WIP images there (whereas my Flickr has more finished images)
(Remodeled version of Buckingham Palace). Includes statues of Alexander J. Brickenburg and Sir George DePlates.

The dense amalgamation of interconnected corridors and chapels around a central courtyard are known collectively as the Apostolic Palace. The palace in its current state is the result of numerous structural additions under more than a century’s worth of popes; beginning with Pope Nicholas V in 1447, progressing significantly toward its current state during the papacy of Sixtus V, and modified further by Sixtus’ later successors, Pope Urban VII, Pope Innocent XI, and Pope Clement VIII. At its center is the Cortile di San Damaso where Pope Francis has recently held smaller than usual weekly General Audiences outdoors in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The adjacent multi-story square building directly east (pictured center-right) houses various administrative offices of the Holy See, as well as the Papal Apartments on the third floor. Although, as aforementioned, Pope Francis has bucked tradition by not residing here, he continues to use the apartments as his office and, on occasion, greets crowds gathered in St. Peter’s Square from the second-to-last window on the right – denoted by a dark red tile in the model. Overall, the consolidation of several state offices here has led to the use of “Apostolic Palaces” as a broader reference to the government of Vatican City in much the same way that “White House” is a metonym for the US Presidential administration rather than the building complex itself.
The rule of TV seems to be that every show needs to have a Christmas episode at some point. I guess this is what’s going on here… ;-)
Merry Christmas to all you builders out there who’s builds have been inspirational presents each and every day for the past years as well as to everyone who takes interest in what I’ve been doing here.
The „Full Steam 2“ series with LOTS of new builds will be my present under YOUR trees. I hope you’ll enjoy it.
In this month's article over on Patreon, I highlight one image from each of the 50 BrickUniverse events to date! These moments capture everything from my own growth on this whirlwind journey, and - more importantly - the hundreds of thousands of lives we've touched as a result!
