Modular buildings, based (loosely) on the free plans, provided by Kristel, on the Rebrickable site (rebrickable.com/mocs/kjw010/white-picket-fences), as well as on Kristel's site, (<a href="https://modularsbykristel.com/"
Cuboid Garden House MOC living room next to the stairs in the middle of the home. Low evening light coming in through large windows facing the wooden deck and garden.
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.
Oh, finally I can upload photos of my MOC about a Trullo of Alberobello!
I know, a model of Trulli already exists and it was uploaded on Lego Ideas too by Renato Renna. Unfortunately I'm fast in designing a new MOC, but very slow in buying pieces and building... this project was born in summer 2020, but however only now I can show it to the world!
By the way, I think that our two MOCs are very different, both for dimensions, scale and building techniques! I love Architecture scale and designing every building in small dimensions!
For people who don't know it, this is a kind of rural and ancient building typical of Apulian country, in the south of Italy. There is also a small town, Alberobello, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage, built with a lot of Trulli!

This build is part of a larger display I’m developing for exhibition next year, where I’ll be revisiting and expanding on the concept of Neo Fabuland—a reinterpretation of the classic Fabuland aesthetic, much like how Neo-Classic Space draws inspiration from the original Classic Space theme. If you’re curious, you can read more about the goals of the project here.
I currently have several builds in progress for this display, and this is the first one to be completed.
While not directly based on any specific Fabuland set, this watermill draws loose inspiration from 3679 Flour Mill and Shop. It features a weathered stone-and-timber structure beside a millpond, complete with a working waterwheel, lily pads, reeds, and rounded rocks. The water cascades over the rocks to form a small waterfall. I’m especially pleased with the textures throughout—the flowing water, the stonework, and the building itself—as well as a custom spreading tree technique I developed for this scene (and will likely reuse in future Neo Fabuland builds).
This build also showcases my approach to Neo Fabuland windows, using brick-built frames with vinyl-cut sticker panes to echo the distinctive charm of original Fabuland designs.
My first 32x32 modular MOC ever! This modern ramen restaurant building features a condo on its upper floors.
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! :)
Fiserv Forum is located in Milwaukee, WI, US and is home to the Milwaukee Bucks and Marquette Golden Eagles. The arena opened in 2018.
This is my first original build in over 18 months. The model uses 112 parts, though one brown curved slope is unconnected.

The Magnolias on 10th --- The newest luxury development at Wasabi District!
Here's a sample interior of a 1 bedroom/1 bathroom apartment.
Check out @wooootles on Instagram to find some WIP/under construction pics!
History:
The Pont du Gard is an ancient Roman aqueduct that crosses the Gardon River near the town of Vers-Pont-du-Gard in southern France. The Pont du Gard, built as three tiers of archways to bring water to the city of Nîmes, is the highest of all elevated Roman aqueducts, and one of the best preserved. It was added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1985 because of its historical importance.
The bridge has three tiers of arches, stands 48.8 m (160 ft) high, and descends a mere 2.5 centimetres (1 in) – a gradient of only 1 in 18,241 – while the whole aqueduct descends in height by only 12.6 m (41 ft) over its entire length, which is indicative of the great precision that Roman engineers were able to achieve using simple technology. The Nîmes aqueduct was built to channel water from the springs of the Fontaine d'Eure near Uzès to the castellum divisorum (repartition basin) in Nimes
Model Info:
The model has 2097 pieces and measures 65.92 x 16.16 x 20.48 (x,y,z) centimeters, (25.95 x 6.36 x 8,06 inches). The idea is try to respect the real proportion of the aqueduct.
Motivation:
As a fan of the LEGO Architecture series, I was surprised there were no official sets of this monument one of the most important sturcture of the ancient Roman Empire a collossal engineer structure.
I have visit this monument when I was child and I was entranced by his immensity.

This build is part of a larger display I'm developing for exhibition next year, where I'll be revisiting and expanding on the concept of Neo Fabuland—a reinterpretation of the classic Fabuland aesthetic, much like how Neo-Classic Space draws inspiration from the original Classic Space theme.
I currently have several builds in progress for this display, and this is the second one to be completed.
This build is not inspired by an existing Fabuland set. It features a stucco rendered brick train station building with a tiled roof on a stone platform perched on a hilltop. The build includes a cutaway bridge underpass and rounded rocks as well as my spreading tree technique.
The train in this build is based on the engine from 910035 Logging Railway and also showcases my approach to Neo Fabuland windows, using brick-built frames with vinyl-cut sticker panes to echo the distinctive charm of original Fabuland designs.
Lego version of Sugamo Shinkin Bank, Nakaaoki Branch. The building is located in Kawaguchi, Japan and is designed by the French architect Emmanuelle Moureaux. It was built 2014 and concept was "rainbow melody".
Modern living at split levels. Three kinds of sections - striped, brown and olive green.
In Olive Sand House I combine the 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.
I explain how to create, edit and use submodels in your builds, to make your designs much easier to work with.
If you have any video suggestions I would be happy to hear them. Any feedback is welcome.

The formality of the French Gardens (pictured front and center) stand in playful juxtaposition to the angles they assume relative to the surrounding landscape. The formal garden on the right (with its tall hedges and grid layout) face the direction of the Vatican Radio Tower: while the formal garden on the left (with its decorative arbors and topiaries) runs parallel with the Medieval wall behind it. This interplay between the original Leonine walls and the various gardens which have been strategically added ever since is characteristic of the western half of the Vatican Gardens. The remnants of the walls which run through the gardens serve not merely as reminders of the former city defenses, but as active elements in the manicured landscape across the sprawling Vatican Hill. Similarly, the tower at the vertex of these two walls serves as a radio transmission tower for Radio Vaticana. Radio Vaticana was established in 1931 under independent operation. Since it was set up by Guglielmo Marconi (yes, that Marconi), it remained an independent voice for eighty-five years, until 2017 when it was absorbed into the Roman Curia with the creation of a new office to oversee operations.

New Brickton Library started life as the Lego 10224 Town Hall set. It has been remodeled and revamped to serve as the town's library. The design is based on the idea that it is one of many Carnegie Endowment Libraries, and features a working time piece in the upper facade.
New Brickton Hardware. Based on the BCD after-market instructions, this MOC features a roll up door for the delivery/loading dock, an expanded deck for the residence above, and an additional floor of living area.
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.
This MOC was created using 2 - 31050 Corner Deli sets, plus additional acquired parts from my collection. Features include a full deli sandwich creation station, a full bathroom inside the deli, and courtyard seating. Also on the first floor, the space is divided to allow a second establishment to conduct business (a small overpriced coffee shop). The patrons of either establishment can use either amenity that the Deli has (bathroom - courtyard seating).
Residence access is on the street side.
The entire second floor has a small efficiency/studio apartment, complete with a full (but very small) galley kitchen, a full (shower only) bathroom and a living/sleeping area. The Murphy bed design has once again come in handy here. The residence also has a nice expanded balcony for the residents with the sandwich sign hanging off the railing.
Access to the roof is through the skylight (as per the set) and there are 2 HVAC systems located there - one for the establishments below, and one for the apartment.
I have finally finished this Mid-Century Modern (MCM) house MOC. The building process has been slow due to struggles in "real" life and that is one reason I decided to call it Endeavour House. Another reason is that the television series Endeavour (a prequel of Inspector Morse) has provided good insight in 1960's interior design.
I've tried to include MCM characteristics such as large windows, a low sloping roof, natural colours, patios and a green garden. The interiors are also inspired by MCM design.
