Construction of this 190-meter-tall Frankfurt skyscraper designed by Danish Bjarke Ingels Group started in 2016 and lasted until September 2019, when the first tenants moved in. It is since Frankfurt’s seventh-tallest structure, altering the city’s skyline in a major way. Omniturm offers not only office space but also condominiums at a previously unreachable point in the city, 100 meters above ground amidst the Frankfurt skyline, adjacent to iconic skyscrapers such as Sir Norman Foster’s Commerzbank Tower or SAA Schweger Architekten’s Main Tower. The floors containing the apartments are offset from the building’s core in a spiral shape to accommodate balconies, resulting in the Omniturm’s signature “hip swing”. The lower floors are open to the public while a roof terrace is accessible for tenants or inhabitants.
This model consists of 1,739 parts and is built in scale 1:650.
Schantzska huset (red) and Seyfridtzska huset (yellow) are located at Stortorget in the Old Town of Stockholm, Sweden. Schantzska huset was built in 1650 and Seyfridtzska huset was built in 1520. Today, there is a coffeehouse on the ground floor of both houses.
The modular building is constructed in two parts that can be used separately. Total about 4500 bricks. Some bricks have been chosen in colors that are not currently available to make the final result look more like the real buildings. Computer rendering.

I have decided to remake my Bilbo's library Moc so that it can fit in the big Lego showcase (best way to fight against the dust 😅).
It was also a way to reduce the floor that was a bit too massive in the previous version. We have lost the woodbeam but they were very fragile.
I hope you will like this version too .

The micro city that led to Brickville. I have decided to give up my LEGO collection, however I will commemorate each of my past cities with a skyline.
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.

Troll A is the world’s biggest natural gas platform, built between 1992 and 1995. From the seabed to the tip of the flare boom it measures 472 meters or 1548 feet. If it stood onshore it would surpass New York’s Empire State Building by almost 30 meters! While it is currently situated 65 kilometers (40 miles) off the coast of Norway, it was constructed in the safety of Vats fjord and then towed to the Troll gas field. It is the tallest and, at 656,000 tons, the heaviest structure ever moved. Since it started operation in 1996, the platform was extended several times to be able to further exploit the draining supplies of natural gas and crude oil under the North Sea, extracting around 100,000 m3 or 3,300,000 ft3 per day, together with Troll B and Troll C.
The model consists of 3,150 pieces, is built in scale 1:650, and features a blue whale for scale.
This building is based loosely on one of the buildings depicted in the Brickbuilderspro commercial aftermarket instructions -
"Town Street," (www.brickbuilderspro.com/shop-instructions/?sort=featured...).
I tried to keep most of the styling elements, but expand the building to actually accommodate the idea that a minifig(s) could actually live in the structure, rather than just a box that was more facade than structure.

The front wall has no floating tiles, its all attached together. The window on the side is just tiles stuck between plates.
This is a replica of a Detroit building. Guess which one.
OK, game over, its the Savoyard Center, the former People's State Bank.
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.
With no shortage of novelties in its pioneering design, the existing framework of the Charbagh typology was reworked specifically for Taj Mahal. Traditionally, the mausoleum would have been located at the center of the Charbagh; as expressed in the central position of Humayun’s Tomb in Delhi, built nearly a century earlier than Taj Mahal. The reasons for this break from tradition are not precisely known and, understandably, are the subject of considerable controversy among scholars. One of the more widely accepted theories is that this type of Charbagh is the result of considerable Indian influence over Mughal architecture. Specifically, the Charbagh were adapted as more secular waterfront gardens which were both more conducive to religious purposes as well as the conditions of the Indian plains where slow-flowing rivers were the primary water source. Another theory suggests that the little-known Midnight Garden on the opposite bank of the river Yamuna may have been part of the overall scheme, which would have resulted in the mausoleum being centered after all, among a complex that includes the width of the river. Whatever the case, it is clear that the eccentric placement of Mumtaz Mahal’s tomb is ultimately one more way in which the Taj Mahal is singular in the annals of Mughal architecture.

️ CAPITOLINE HILL ️
In 155 CE, Greek writer Aristides Quintilianus compared the way in which the buildings of Rome covered its hills to a snowfall, writing "Wherever one stands, it is all around you." This analogy was more deeply felt in the roughly ten days spent redesigning the Capitoline Hill than at any other point thus far in my redesign efforts.

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.

As lamp I´ve used a paint roller handle.
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.
The Tripoli Shrine Center is located in Milwaukee, WI. The non-religious building opened in 1928 and is heavily inspired from the Taj Mahal.

Visitors to Vatican City have the option of climbing between the double walls of the dome to the lantern at its summit. The view from above captures the silhouettes of the thirteen statues adorning Maderno’s façade against the expansive St. Peter’s Square. In reality, this view extends down the 500-meters long Via della Conciliazione to Castel Sant’Angelo at the edge of the Tiber River.
