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.
Sign on the Model Installed at the National Building Museum
Over the last 6 weeks, I had the amazing opportunity to design and build my largest LEGO creation yet. When the National Building Museum announced they were expanding their exhibit on LEGO architecture and invited Robert A.M. Stern Architects to submit a model, I jumped at the chance. There were a lot of long hours and sleepless nights as a result, but I am very happy with the end result and am honored to have something that can be enjoyed by thousands rather than just anyone who happens to be in my living room. Here are some facts and statistics:
Project: 15 Central Park West
Architect: Robert A.M. Stern Architects, LLP
Location: New York, New York
Building Height: 548 ft (35 stories)
Scale of Model: 1” = 16’-0”
Height of Model: 36”
Number of Pieces Used: over 30,000
Time to Create: 200 hours (100 hours to design; 100 hours to build)
This model is now on display in the National Building Museum in Washington, DC as part of the expanded exhibit LEGO Architecture: Towering Ambition from now until September 3, 2012. It is in the company of 15 models by LEGO certified professional builder Adam Reed Tucker, so I did my best to create something deserving of sharing the floor with them.
Yes, this is the Beast's castle! So dark, so baroque, so majestic! It's a MOC created by me starting from another one, the one by jm_rkuhtect that you can find and download from Rebrickable website. I fell in love with it at first sight! I modified it in colors and dimensions, shrinking it and bringing it back to the same Architecture scale of the other sets and castles.
Check out the other MOC on jm_rkuhtect's page! He is so talented!

Converted from the Palace Cinema, this is the establishment that it was yearning to be. With elements from Ninjago and a kitchen stocked from an extra Parisian Cafe, this restaurant has had it's footprint expanded to allow easy dining for all minifigs who want a nice asian meal.
Well I have waited a while to post these, but here are the HD expansive photos of my Church Dream MOC from Summer of 2022. I went with natural lighting for the photos this time around and saw an incredible turn out. Little editing was required on the tale end of shooting. As for the slides the first five show the MOC in larger detail while the later five examine aspects of the free-form landscape and architecture better. At some point in the next few months I will either do a techniques post or a story Q&A. Thank you to any and all who supported this project along the way. I am incredibly happy with the result. If you have any feedback, it is greatly appreciated and as always, enjoy.

This is the consolidation of Lego sets 40178, 40305, 60097, and 5005358 into one Modular Building Lego Store.
First floor includes the pick a brick wall, the "Cash Wrap," shelves of product, and other displays. The Second floor has additional shelves of products and displays. The Third floor holds the Manager's office area, the stock room, the employee's bathroom, and the minifig factory assembly station.

👨💻 We begin with the Forum of Caesar, the first of FIVE Imperial Fora designed over the course of a month.
📜 The Imperial Fora were built over the course of three centuries. The first was ordered by Julius Caesar: and the other four by either four or five successive emperors; each vying to outdo the previous, both in opulence and in scale!
Don't miss the very first DESIGN Insights post highlighting Phase II of my ongoing efforts to build all of Ancient Rome, circa mid-4th century CE!
😎 These insights are EXCLUSIVE to Corinthian patrons, and peel back the curtain months before these designs will be shared publicly. The renderings, on the other hand, are shared with patrons of all tiers.
⏳ If you subscribe by August 1st, you'll qualify for the Phase I Commemorative Plaque, as well as the next all-new buildable kit! The Corinthian tier is the MOST COST-EFFECTIVE way of supporting my work and collecting all the exclusive merch!

A detail shot of my Lego model of the Griswold Building showing the banded design used by Albert Kahn on the top story to add interest to one of his less prominent commissions. Unforntunately Lego does not make a banded arch piece (I may have to find a brown Lego sticker that I can slice up to add that level of detail).
Update:
In 2014, the real building was revamped and renamed "The Albert". The former residents were asked to leave and the newly renovated apartments are being marketed to young professionals who can afford the $1,200 to $2,300 monthly rent.
