The city has grown around the railroad and the Brickester City Council has decided to expand the station, preserving and restoring the old facade and covering the old hall with a new iron and glass structure.
This newly-restored station has quickly become the most important meeting point in the city. Thousands of people pass through every day. Some patiently await the journey home, others rush by to get to work on time, some people-watch with curiosity, whilst some anxiously anticipate the too-slow arrival of a loved one. Yet others carry all their worldly belongings in a suitcase ready to embark the train to a new life.

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.

________________________________________________
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!
