A modular sporting goods store inspired by Mikimoto Building in Tokyo, Japan. Front facade is removable. About 3250 pieces. Computer rendering but buildable if you have the bricks.
The rule of TV seems to be that every show needs to have a Christmas episode at some point. I guess this is what’s going on here… ;-)
Merry Christmas to all you builders out there who’s builds have been inspirational presents each and every day for the past years as well as to everyone who takes interest in what I’ve been doing here.
The „Full Steam 2“ series with LOTS of new builds will be my present under YOUR trees. I hope you’ll enjoy it.
The house is a calm and silent place to call home. The livingroom is hovering above the still water of the swimming pool. The living area is divided into different floor levels. Kitchen and toilet are located on ground floor. Landing, livingroom, bedroom and bathroom can be found on next level. A combined music and reading corner is hosted on the highest level. A friend of mine told me that she imagined this house to be located in Italy. I think that Italy is a very good guess.
Lego build of Mak Residence by Lars Langberg Architects. The house can be divided into several parts and is fully furnished. About 6600 bricks. Computer rendering but only existing bricks/colors were used.
Building something using only pieces from the Pick-a-Brick wall at your local LEGO Store can be fun, but building something that looks good is quite difficult. The limited palette of basic bricks, plates, very few SNOT pieces, and almost no slopes or wedges made this a challenge.
I'm just happy the Pick-a-Brick wall always has a few really useful pieces for advanced building, such as plates with clips which made the tail, fins, and mouth able to move.

During a brief stint in Washington D.C. in 2023, I spent the better part of a summer evening exploring the grounds of Capitol Hill. Few landscapes invite as much inquiry along winding paths paired with plenty of moments for quiet introspection on marble benches; all in picturesque view of the Capitol dome. These on-site experiences are exactly the form of anecdotal justification I seek when considering whether to recreate such monumental places in the first place.
In tackling any work of such storied precedence as the US Capitol, I always seek to expand the conversation beyond existing works in the medium of plastic bricks. While the consistent 1:650 scale among my works has always ensured some level of originality, it is no guarantee of further insight that cannot already be gleaned from existing works by other artists. With this in mind, I set out to capture the full 100-acre site currently maintained by The Architect of the Capitol. What's more, the diorama depicts a particular time of year - specifically late March to early April - as illustrated by the iconic presence of hundreds of cherry blossoms rendered in two shades of light pink.
The diorama starts downhill at the trapezoidal Capitol Reflecting Pool, with the Grant Memorial taking pride of place along its eastern edge and the US Botanic Garden across the street to the south. The diorama expands from there, capturing the radiating pathways meandering uphill, as designed by Frederick Law Olmsted within the parcels laid out in the city plan by Pierre Charles L'Enfant. The piece culminates with the widely imitated US Capitol Building, perched atop a plinth projecting from the Capitol Visitor Center on the opposite side.
Topping everything off is a custom-made representation of the Statue of Freedom (as designed by Thomas Crawford), steadfastly overlooking the National Mall from atop the dome. The statue was designed in collaboration with BigKidBrix and was sized comparably to the minifigure statuette / trophy element.
The piece was designed over the course of about two months: first in December 2023 through January 2024, paused during the build-out of SPQR - Phase II, then resumed between March and April. The build-out lasted from July through August and was completed by September. The piece will soon be added to my personal gallery of works, now available for touring exhibitions.

A lone structure stands against the dawn. Familiar and alien at the same time. A building waiting for a story to unfold.
Hidden Home Park is an underground modern, sustainable home hidden in a green park. Trees, bushes and flowers. A roof and an atrium garden. Kitchen garden with herbs. Three patios with lots of windows. Two ponds and a bench where you can meditate. Two bee hives symbolize the symbiosis of animals, plants and humans.
It is my entry to the Swebrick contest Master Builder of the Year 2017 ending on March 1st 2018.
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.
A simple build showing a classic front door entranceway with some stylish planters and a nice Holiday wreath. Happy Holidays everyone!

Whitebrick Sand House is characterized by straight lines, glass and sandy colours. Placed in desertlike environment, yet close to civilization. Somewhere to relax.
Building: The Majestic Theatre Ipoh (1940 - 19 June 2012)
Location: No.2 Chamberlain Road, Ipoh (Jalan Chamberlain Hulu)
Building style: Art Deco
Danish Architect: Berthel Michael Iversen (1906-1976)
再見大華
承載幾代人的集體回憶
怡保大華大戲院
(The Majestic Theatre Ipoh)
大華大戲院建於上世紀40年代，與怡保巿內麗都戲院 (Lido)，國泰戲院 (Cathey)與麗士戲院 (Rex) 皆出自丹麥的建築師艾弗爾森 (Berthel Michael Iversen 1906-1976) 之手, 全以藝術裝飾風格打造。
藝術裝飾建築 (Art Deco) 流行於1920-1939年，特徵為簡單幾何造型，流線式的水平或垂直線條，其窗戶有水平出挑的遮陽板等等，象徵當時鋼筋混凝土結構運用已達到成熟階段。
大華大戲院於1940年末完工，上下兩層共可以容納867席(一樓626席，二樓241席) 觀眾。1998年2月25日在時代洪流衝擊下結束營業，並被怡保市政廳列為古蹟建築之一。後期曾經改為夜店和家私店等。
但很可惜, 在2012年6月19日突然被發展商拆除，並在該地段建起21層樓高的現代公寓。在發展洪流下，很多舊建築隨時消失在無聲的歷史長河裡。

Downtown Records is a modular record shop, ready and waiting to take it’s place in your LEGO city, I have packed it with brick built detail as well as custom printed parts (two of my favourite things about LEGO sets). I will gradually be revealing more of this project over time, but to start with I have revealed images of the building from the front, the side and the record store interior.
In total, Downtown Records contains about 3000 bricks and is divided into three sections. The bottom section includes a street scape including traffic light and crossing, leafy tree (I am particularly happy with how the tree turned out – I only had to rebuild it four times!) and a small news stand. Inside on the ground floor of the building there is the record store itself with shelves bulging with custom printed records on 2×2 tiles, a bathroom, and access to the staircase leading upstairs.
My aim with the design of the facade was to create a believable downtown two storey brick-faced building with stucco detailing and ornate architectural cornicing.
So if you would like to help make Downtown Records a real LEGO set, it’s free to support, all you need to do is head on over to LEGO Ideas, sign up for an account and hit that blue support button!

Thank you for your support!
My first attempt at modern-ish architecture. The house is designed with a bachelor pad in mind, more specifically a guitarist/musician (hence the guitar collection and piano).
Lego modular fashion store inspired by Furla store in Ginza, Tokyo, Japan. About 4500 bricks. Computer rendering but only existing bricks/colors were used.
I am thrilled to present Sydney Harbour, a 90x90cm cityscape model of Sydney's famous harbour at a 1:2200 Lego scale
the model has roughly 10,000 pieces and sits on four square segments for easier transport to and from exhibitions.
Landmarks to look out for include:
- Harbour Bridge
- Opera House
- The Rocks
- Circular Quay
- Barangaroo (Crown Towers)
- Goverment house & Botanic Gardens
- Blues Point
- Sydney Observatory
- Museum of Contemporary art
- Customs House
& many more recognizable buildings!
This build took overall 30 hours to create over the space of 4 months.
please feel free to share this around! i'll be posting plenty of content over the next weeks.

Put a tiger in your tank - Part 2*
If you think about retro gas station you probably think about something really cool and stylish: modernist architecture, art deco gas pumps and other outstanding car stuff displayed outside the station.
You can find all this in the elegant gas station designed in 1953 by the Dutch architect Willem Marinus Dudok. Here made of LEGO bricks.
The design of Dudok was simple and brilliant simultaneously. According to the mission he received from ESSO Netherlands, the station had to be functional and inexpensive to produce.
It was just after World War II and raw materials were scarce.
At the same time the road network grew and pumping stations had to be placed anywhere.
112 Dudok Esso stations were placed along the Dutch highways.
My LEGO Dudok Esso gas station has the same features of the real one: an elegant design, a v-shaped roof on both sides, two gas pumps on a dark grey platform, different advertising signs and other stuff.
The shop is on the front of the station; a detailed service garage is located at the back (you probably find out something familiar with my previous garage and workshop).
There are a lot of details both outside and inside the building, let's take a look.
In the shop you can find a big desk with a vintage phone, a cash register and a architect lamp. A big clock is positioned on the wall close to the shelves where you can see the oil cans and an old radio. Two neon lights and a fan are hung on the ceiling support.
The garage at the back features a lot of utensils, advertising signs and other stuff. Take a look at the Michelin Man (Bibendum).
My VW Type 2 T1 decked up in Esso livery fits perfectly in this scene.
You can see the real Esso station looking at the last picture of this album, photographed at the National Automobile Museum Collection Louwman (The Netherlands) where was placed in 2004.
I built this brand new MOC last winter and I’m particularly fond of it.

Hey guys! I haven't uploaded anything in a while here. Still wanted to show you some WIPs of recent builds, in case you haven't seen them on Insta already. Enjoy.
Exterior.
Whitebrick Sand House is characterized by straight lines, glass and sandy colours. Placed in desertlike environment, yet close to civilization. Somewhere to relax.
Inspired by a canal house in Amsterdam from 1627 I built this microscale house with a crow-stepped gable. The base of the house is 10x11 studs and 875 bricks were used. Computer rendering but only existing bricks/colors were used.
"Gathered friends... Listen again to the Legend of the BIONICLE."
A microscale landscape build with a central location from the island of Mata Nui, with a minifigure trophy part representing Takanuva, Toa of Light.
Taking inspiration from different depictions of Kini Nui temple from three separate BIONICLE media: the temple hidden in the jungle as depicted in commercials for the first BIONICLE sets, the four-spired temple in Mata Nui Online Game, and the area across the stream with the sand pit and the giant Toa head carving that features prominently in BIONICLE: Mask of Light.
Main temple structure was originally built for New Elementary Parts Fest
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.
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.
“An old knight is enjoying his retirement and pursuing his hobbies after years of battles and quests.” Howdy flickr! I’ve built with Lego for as long as I can remember, but I’ve only recently gotten back into it, and this is the first castle MOC I’ve built in a long time. I would appreciate any comments or feedback, hope you enjoy!
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!
