Here is my nearly finished model of the old Union Depot on Fort Street in Detroit. The original station (designed by Isaac S Taylor of St.Louis) was under construction from 1891 to 1893 and operated until 1971. It was torn down in 1974. My LEGO replica is a scaled down version of the most prominent section of the original station.
This building, like all of my structures, uses 100% LEGO parts and employs no glue, no decals, no paint, and like almost all of my buildings has no user-modified parts (at train shows, I get asked questions like this every time!)
I may modify the tower to make it a bit taller since it looks a bit squat compared to the prototype.
This historic precedent of Colonial Georgian Architecture sits at the heart of Philadelphia's old city center. Independence Hall also played a crucial role in the founding of the United States, as its storied assembly rooms witnessed the signing of both the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and the Constitution in 1787.
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.
🎪 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. 🗽
Find out SO MUCH MORE and see all the behind-the-scenes design insights when you become a patron today!
The name says it all. These are just facades of buildings done to display at the back of any city layout. Kind of block the 'behind the table space'.

Cuboid Garden House MOC living room with a glimpse of the kitchen.
This house has a number of cuboid bodies linked together by a dark blue tiled hallway hosting a spiral staircase. Large glass windows offer a view of the ground floor and roof garden. Solar panels and home grown vegetables contribute to a sustainable way of living.
A build based on a vision of a sustainable and modern home close to nature.
Green Rock House is divided into Three parts connected by hinges and technic pins. The roof of each level can be removed easily.
The house has full interior with a living room, kitchen, bedroom, Music corner, bathroom and gym.
Here´s the kitchen.
Modern living at split levels. Three kinds of sections - striped, brown and olive green.
In Olive Sand House I combine the desertlike surroundings and olive green/tan colour scheme of Whitebrick Sand House with the striped architecture of for example Green Rock House, Calmwater Cliff House and Vanilla House that has in some way become my trademark.
My new Guardian Building model made its debut as part of the annual Michigan LEGO Train Club (MichLTC) display at the Henry Ford Museum on November 23rd, 2014.

Sometimes you start a MOC and it takes several years to complete it, and then another year to take proper photos of it. This is one of those MOCs.
This is my deep dive into modular buildings. So far I really like it? It is fun to create buildings that are made of all these bits of inspiration of Portland locations. The art store is a love letter to the now defunct Art Media in downtown Portland.
The Empire marches on it stomach

Gustave Eiffel put pen to paper and signed a construction contract with the French government on January 8, 1887, little more than two years before the tower would be inaugurated ...

Looking into the laundromat.
Fully separated building from the Brick Bank.
This building features many of the normal type of amenities that you would find in a downtown building. The laundromat has a fair amount of equipment for customers to use, a bathroom if needed, and an on site manager in case a washer or dryer tries to eat your favorite shirt.
Upstairs, you'll find two more businesses in separate offices. A Travel Agent, and a Certified Brick Accountant.

The sacristy of St. Peter’s Basilica (pictured top-center) was built as an addition under Pope Pius VI in 1776. Designed by Carlo Marchionni, the sacristy houses the Treasury Museum and several notable chapels. The interior of the central octagonal hall is framed by eight antique columns from Hadrian’s Villa in Tivoli, while the exterior is topped by a small dome represented in sand blue elements in the model.
Directly adjacent (pictured middle) lies Santa Maria della Pietà in Camposanto dei Teutonici, or the Church of Our Lady of Mercy in the Teutonic Cemetery. This formal mouthful is named for the Teutonic cemetery within its enclosing walls which dates all the way back to 796 when Charlemagne founded a hospice and cemetery on this spot. Here, the subjects of Charlemagne living in Rome were laid to rest. Ever since, the German nation, in one form or another, was represented here. Today, the church within is considered the National Church in Rome of Austria, Germany, and the Netherlands.
Lego modular fashion store inspired by Furla store in Ginza, Tokyo, Japan. About 4500 bricks. Computer rendering but only existing bricks/colors were used.
Outside the House on Striped Pillars bedroom. A chest of drawers. A tea pot.
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".
Two townhouses inspired by houses in Washington, D.C.. Each house is build as a separate 16x32 modular house. Fully furnished. Computer rendering but buildable if you have the bricks.
The tessellated reddish-brown and white designs of the floor immediately encircling the marble plinth are especially emblematic of more widely used geometric patterns among Islamic works. In keeping with the theme of novel flooring techniques, I opted for a method in which 3-stud length brown Technic axles are buried within the Chameli Farsh and capped off with white Technic bush elements. The diameter of each individual component being slightly less than a full brick’s width leant itself nicely to increasing the overall density of the design while allowing for a relatively coherent tessellation overall. I also like to imagine how each brown axle stretches into the substructure, unseen from the outside and unbeknownst to all but the most learned LEGO builders. This grouping of sunken columns also visually reminds me of the timber framed piling system that the builders of Taj Mahal implemented to stabilize the Chameli Farsh upon the riverside sands.
The newly restored and substantially redesigned version of my original 2015 piece depicting the Palace of Westminster in London.

In my opinion, from this side of the river, the view is the best to admire the bridge! There is a small terrace where you have a breathtaking view. It appears at the top of the model.
This side of the bank was a bit harder to design compared to the other side. Indeed, this section is smaller, so building at an angle required a bit of thinking.
Modern living at split levels. Three kinds of sections - striped, brown and olive green.
In Olive Sand House I combine the desertlike surroundings and olive green/tan colour scheme of Whitebrick Sand House with the striped architecture of for example Green Rock House, Calmwater Cliff House and Vanilla House that has in some way become my trademark.

Eiffel was very much a product of his times; a student of the sciences who had the rare ability to both envision a project of ambitious scope and to successfully finance its realization in such a way it seems almost inevitable in hindsight ...

The Harold Washington Library, located in Chicago, is a striking example of postmodernism. The library was completed in 1991, and the LEGO version uses 407 pieces.
Tiger’s Nest is the popular name of the Paro Taktsang Monastery.
It’s a prominent Himalayan Buddhist sacred site and temple complex, located in the cliff-side of the upper Paro Valley in Bhutan. The initial temple complex was built in 1692.
The monastery is located 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) to the north of Paro and hangs on a precipitous cliff at 10,240 feet above sea-level, about 3,000 feet above the Paro Valley.
The monastery buildings consist of four main temples and residential buildings. They are ideally designed by adapting to the rock (granite) ledges, the caves and the rocky terrain.
This Lego Model of the Monastery has taken around eight months to build with approximately 200,000 parts.
This is just the 21023 set of Flatiron Building in New York City from Lego Architecture series... :)
Kitchen of Calmwater Cliff House MOC. Open plan with dining area and kitchen.
Calmwater Cliff House is located on a cliff by the beach. Two floors with a terrace on each floor. Downstairs you find a spacious kitchen and dining area, a bathroom and home office. Upstairs you find a music corner with sea view, a bedroom and the main entrance.
As you see it´s a LEGO house and I´ve mainly used the colours black, dark tan, tan and reddish brown.
I wanted to make a modern home - in some way inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and the colours of the 20th century - updated to 21st century lifestyle.
This is very experimental and may change in the near future. The initial building has 816 1x2 trans clear plates and 36 trans clear cheese slopes. Currently the building would be the third tallest in Brickville.
This will be the ONLY all trans skyscraper. Ever.
