Brickish LUG selected me to represent them in a build challenge using 100 LEGO Star Wars Magazine foil bags provided by Fairy Bricks Charity.
A MOC using the limited parts of 10 different Star Wars minibuilds, and using about three-quarters of the total ~3000 parts.
The build itself had no planning, it just happened out of tinkering and tablescrapping with the parts provided. I challenged myself to not build Star Wars or anything space, so I went to the next best thing that I’m familiar with: microscale architecture.
The building was inspired by the LEGO 10232 Palace Cinema modular building, which in turn was based off the famous Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, and I also built a boat. I cheated with not doing anything space-y by plonking some greebly engines on the boat, and that inspired me to put the palace on a floating island with freeform landscaping and surround it with clouds. Only in the end did I realise that this MOC resembles the Sky Pirates storyline from LEGO NinjaGo.
LEGO model of the Detroit Life Building. This 10 story (128 foot / 39 meter high) building was the former home of the Detroit Life Insurance company. Designed by architects Arnold & Shreve, the building opened in 1923 and closed in 1977. Recently the building has undergone a restoration with the hope of reuse.
The LEGO model is 39 inches (1 meter) high (36 inches to the main roof) and is 90 studs wide (28.5 inches / 0,724 meters),
Rock done with plates only.
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.
Second build of the serie entitled Concept House.
Contemporary style and clean shapes.
Enjoy it!

I went for a more vertical design focus on this house compared to some of my others, while still keeping it small. Building small things and trying to decrease the overall size of creations is again still increasingly growing on me. It might be related to the overall slow paste of building that I experience recently, though I will get back to making large scale things once I find the time, at least that´s what I hope for. None the less, I hope you enjoy this for the moment.

A build based on a vision of a sustainable and modern home close to nature.
Green Rock House is divided into three parts connected with hinges and technic pins. The roof of each floor can be taken off.
The house has full interior with a living room, kitchen, bedroom, music corner, bathroom and gym.
This sequence has always stood out to me as one of the most memorable in the Pirates of the Caribbean series, largely due to how the entire church structure is used as an active stage for the swordfight — from the sanctuary interior to the rafters, bell tower, and ultimately transitioning into the jungle and mill sequence. It’s a dynamic, layered setting that blends architecture, choreography, and environment, making it a perfect subject to capture in LEGO.
My design process began by studying the scale and layout of the church. After several rewatches of the scene, I was able to determine the number of distinct levels inside the structure and focused first on modeling the more prominent bell tower. From there, I mapped out the path of the action — starting from the sanctuary, moving across wooden beams and through the deteriorating roof, and culminating in the runaway water mill barreling into the jungle.
The church itself is a decayed Spanish colonial building, marked by crumbling stonework, collapsed archways, and remnants of once-detailed masonry. I wanted to maintain its recognizable silhouette while embracing the chaos of its ruined state. Starting from the interior action layout helped me define the core proportions and then branch outward, layering in debris, broken tiles, and ornamental details now eroded by time and the jungle’s return.
When revisiting the build later, I incorporated newer foliage elements, including updated fern pieces and custom-built palm trees. These additions helped enrich the setting, emphasizing the lush, tropical jungle pressing in beyond the church’s ruined stone fences — creating a strong visual contrast between the structured decay of the church and the wild vitality of the surrounding environment.

These are the Five Constant Virtues of China; values on which the Chinese people have formed their moral code and looked to for guidance in social development and progress throughout the centuries. Predicated on the ancient tenets of Confucianism, the Five Constant Virtues have retained their fundamentally humanistic role in the broader Chinese culture and have been passed down to modern society. While the state is and has always been overseen by law, law can only restrain. It is incumbent upon individuals, therefore, to pursue virtuosity and civil progress by observing a moral code which encompasses benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, & integrity.
600 years ago, these as well as other fundamental Chinese principles beyond count, were implemented at an unprecedented scale in the construction of a new capital city, now known as Beijing. The entire city was planned along a single north-south axis. Emperor Yongle of the newly established Ming Dynasty ordered the construction of an Imperial Palace at its center. The undertaking would last fifteen years, resulting in the conscription of numerous soldiers, 100,000 skilled artisans, and one million civilian laborers. By 1420, they had created the largest palatial complex the world has ever known, covering an entire square kilometer with nearly a thousand palace structures consisting of a fabled 9,999 rooms. Such a monumental feat of construction was indicative of imperial supremacy in ancient Chinese culture and, indeed, befitting for the official residence of the Ming and Qing Dynasty emperors, each of whom were known as the “Son of Heaven” in their own times. To the everyday Chinese person, however, the Imperial Palace was little more than the occasional glimpse of yellow rooftops above the ten-meters-high walls and fifty-meters-wide moat surrounding the perimeter, and was known as the Forbidden City as unpermitted entry was punishable by death.
Today in 2020, at a time when typical daily life has been thrown into disarray, it might seem somewhat imperceptive to personally commit to realizing an 84,000-parts landscape; especially when that commission has been put on hold indefinitely; especially when the principle architectural hierarchy of that piece is based on balance and order; and especially when that landscape would turn out to be my largest yet by a margin of 20,000 parts. Eccentric artistic impulses aside, I rest more easily on these uncertain nights grateful for an audience who perhaps find themselves just as much in need of the inspiration beneath Forbidden City’s imperial yellow of the tile roofs and the elegant red of the endless brick corridors, as I certainly was at the bleak mid-March outset of this undertaking. Ultimately, I consider this piece an exercise in virtue- the five most constant of which would be the benevolence not to expect perfect circumstances in order to create, the righteousness to recognize and remain steadfast in the pursuit of growth, the propriety to sometimes take a risk in such pursuits without promise of reward, the wisdom to seek positive influences while recognizing the profound lack of access many face, and the integrity to uphold the other four while striving to remain true and honest in intention.

________________________________________________
On this day in 69 CE, the accomplished military commander Vespasian entered Rome to claim the title of Imperator, establishing the Flavian Dynasty and overseeing the largest empire the world had ever seen. At the time, the city of Rome was the preeminent bustling metropolis of the ancient world and was home to more than a million people. It would be nearly a half-century before the Empire reached its greatest territorial extents under Trajan I in 117 CE, spanning the entire Mediterranean from modern-day Iberia to Iraq and Scotland to Egypt.
As decorated as Vespasian became, and as incredibly vast as the empire was for its time, both came from humble beginnings. Vespasian was the first Roman Emperor to ascend from the level of commoner through a series of increasing senatorial ranks coupled masterfully with a distinguished military career. Similarly, Rome was once a lowly tribal settlement atop the Capitoline Hill which, over the centuries, grew to cover seven hills and served as the seat of the Roman Republic, and later the vast Roman Empire.
After being commissioned by the Museu da Imaginação to design and build ‘a large, 1m x 2m historical layout of Ancient Rome’ with little more to go off than said prompt, I immediately dove headfirst into the incredibly vast rabbit hole that is Ancient Roman history. Quite early on, I realized the approach to designing something so mindbogglingly vast in such a relatively small window of time would critically depend on having a strict schedule of target deadlines by which to design compartmentalized stages of the overall layout. After all, considering Vespasian or the Roman Empire at the heights of their power would be such an inconceivable notion without having also studied the respective contexts and timeline of events leading to each of their zeniths.
For this reason, the design of the layout was subdivided into eight regional stages and executed over the course of about five weeks between September and November 2019. Not only did this subdivision ease my sleepless nights of nearly being overwhelmed by the commitment, it was also my crossing-the-Rubicon moment when I truly considered this to be something I could commit to accomplishing within the timeframe, without sacrificing any of my signature design rigor. It has always been a creative dream of mine to design a vast, comprehensive city layout in which individual landmarks can be appreciated as integral parts of a much broader historical and cultural landscape. That is why I am immensely grateful to the Museu da Imaginação for commissioning this piece. Not only has it been an incredibly humbling and educational collaboration for myself, but I can rest more easily knowing our efforts will inspire countless guests and museum patrons for years to come. No time to rest on my laurels though! The question now is, “What comes after the Eternal City?”

It is often said that from the darkness of the greatest tragedies, far greater triumphs may come to light. Perhaps nowhere else on Earth has this proverb materialized more profoundly than in the tragic death of Mumtaz Mahal rousing a grief-stricken Shah Jahan to commemorate his undying devotion to his late wife in a mausoleum and garden complex matched only in beauty and splendor by the radiant visage of the empress herself. The Taj Mahal is the physical manifestation of this transcendent love and is indisputably one of the finest examples of Mughal and Islamic architecture in South Asia – to say nothing of its level of instant recognizability as an icon of India the world over.
Taj Mahal was commissioned in 1632 and was built along the southern bank of the River Yamuna over the course of twenty years. It is said that its construction enlisted a workforce of no fewer than 22,000 laborers, some 1,000 elephants, and numerous skilled craftsmen from across Asia and Europe. The central white marble mausoleum – with its signature iwan and pishtaqs (vaulted rectangular opening and arch-shaped portals, respectively, of Indo-Islamic architecture) and iconic amrud (guava-shaped) dome – is the primary feature of the Taj Mahal and the axial center of the prevailing bilateral symmetry. Unbeknownst to most casual observers, however, the mausoleum is just one small aspect of a much larger, 42-acre complex. The broader compound is built mostly of red sandstone and consists of a tripartite layout; a forecourt with servants' quarters and royal tombs amidst a quadrangle before the Darwaza-I Rauza (main gate); a central Mughal Garden known as a Charbagh; and finally, the platform with an identical mosque and guesthouse on either side of the marble mausoleum.
If one thing is for certain, it is that the mausoleum at Taj Mahal has a rather ubiquitous status when it comes to LEGO representations. For myself, inspiration goes hand-in-hand with intrinsic motivation. As a result, I always need to find my own reasons for taking the time to design and build projects of this scale. In recent years, my work has taken on much more of a heritage-first outlook, in which I seek to highlight particular landmarks or landscapes that may be at risk due to any number of factors. Taj Mahal first came across my radar when I learned that much of the sandstone and marble structures are in constant need of repair, requiring a full-time restoration team mostly made up of the descendants of the original builders. In addition, environmental factors such as pollution and acid rain have weathered many of the ornamental details more quickly than usual. Meanwhile, the river Yamuna bursts its banks more frequently than it has in the past several centuries, raising concerns over the stability of the riverside platform foundations. While this is likely the first-ever LEGO diorama of the entire complex, I think the more relevant superlatives going forward will be those aforementioned facts. Whenever this piece is exhibited, it will always be presented alongside infographics which celebrate the story of triumph out of tribulation behind the realization of this masterpiece of Mughal architecture, including biographies of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal. Just as well, it will always remain important to cite the very clear and present concerns over the site's long-term preservation, and the vital daily roles that those descendants of the original builders play in accomplishing that goal.
Autumn Stream House MOC is a modern home lying among the trees coloured by autumn. Underneath a small stream is living its own life.
My mum wanted a Christmas House for her little scene she and my sister built so I decided to go for a brick-built version of last year's digital build.
In order for it to be done in time for Christmas, I had to rush it near the end so it's far from perfect, but I still like its overall design.

Lego modular fashion store inspired by Furla store in Ginza, Tokyo, Japan. About 4500 bricks. Computer rendering but only existing bricks/colors were used.
Here we are! Maybe this is my most difficult MOC I ever did! Saint Basil's Cathedral in Moscow!
I'm honest, I had two different inspirations: one was a model found on Bricklink, designed by Jacob Harper, but the most important one was Markus Rollbühler's MOC, which has always fascinated me for its amazing techniques!
The latter, moreover, was so kind to reveal me some secret techniques used in his MOC for the domes! Thank you Markus! :)
However, as you can see, my MOC is also different from the former MOCs: it maintains the dimensions typical of Architecture series, but the most difficult part was to find the correct pieces in the correct available colors...
And talking about my techniques: I'm not so crazy and skilled like Markus! :P
Celebrating 10K followers on Instagram with a small throwback to three different houses and facade techniques that I’ve built. Computer rendering but only existing bricks/colors were used.
Bonnstan ("The Farmers Town") in Skellefteå, northern Sweden.
In a time when going to church was mandatory, churchgoers with a long way to travel could own a room and sleep for the night here, next to the church. Bonnstan was built during the 1600s, but the buildings standing there today were built in the 1830s, after a devastating fire.
Here I have built a few houses as a tiny little coulisse. I have used plates and tiles to get structure in the wooden walls, and jumper plates, tiles and masonry bricks to get structure in the wooden doors.
I present to you, my latest MOC! The story of this MOC is simple. I wanted a big building, I built a yellow wall, I built around the yellow wall.
It's one of the biggest single structures I've ever built as well as the tallest. I tried many experimental techniques, like using pneumatic hoses as wall piping. It's not that futuristic, but it's definitely cyberpunk.
Hopefully I'll build more of these in the future! Let me know what you guys think!!!
You can watch my YouTube video for an in depth look!
Here is an architectural concept of contemporary house. The style is very clean and the lines are very geometric. To achieve this result I mainly used classic bricks (1x1, 2x1, 3x1, 4x1) as well as plates and tiles.
This may inspire you to build your own concept house ?
Enjoy it !
