Lego bookstore modular inspired by A.Masow Architects concept store. There are four apartments above the bookstore. The modular house can be opened at the back and is fully furnished. About 6500 bricks. Computer rendering but only existing bricks/colors were used. Reference images.
I was fiddling around with buildings today. The ultra modular system pictured here was a total but very lucky accident.
This Lego clock tower modular is inspired by Prague Astronomical Clock in Prague, Czech Republic. Besides the clock tower there are also three small houses. Total width of all buildings is 48 studs and about 4100 bricks were used. Computer rendering but only existing bricks were used.

After 3 attempts I made a decent looking modular building for my city. I do need to do more on the exterior, and currently the interior doesn't exsists yet.
Funny thing is I went for a modern looking building but somehow ended up with this
My latest experiment in something other than standard modular buildings. The alley features a dead end, some boxes and a dumpster.
Origami Modular, 60° at the tip (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 12, 4 units, no glue
Folded in between game drives in Kruger Park:)
I always wanted to try making a modular using 1x2 plates in mixed colours, but have never had enough plates in the right colours to do a full size modular building. Then I saw the LEGO Ideas contest to celebrate 90 years of TLG and the idea formed to try and do a midi-scale version (somewhere between minifigure and micro scale). The base for this build is 8x16 studs, so it is one-quarter of the baseplate used for a standard 16-stud wide modular building.
It is modular as the floors come apart. However, the way I did the windows for this version means that it's not so pretty on the inside.
I would love to do a row of townhouses like this in different colours. Once I can accumulate a few more plates!
PS: Sarah Beyer (@betweenbrickwalls) has mastered the use of mixed plates in her gorgeous buildings, but I want to also do a shout out to Jan M. (@wooootles) whose “Avenue Residences” is one of the first buildings that I recall that used this technique (and which is still one of my all time favourite builds).
Modular Origami Star (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 6 units, no glue
Folded from a sheet of crumpled (VOG) paper glued to a sheet of Japanese origami foil.
Modular Origami Star (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 6 units, no glue
Front and reverse sides.
Similar to these ones:
Modular Origami Stars (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 6 units, no glue
4 different sizes, all stars are folded with 5 cm squares
Origami Modulars (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 4 units, no glue
The unit on the right is 60° and the unit on the left turned out to be 60-something upon closer inspection:) Oh well.
I've refined the modular building quite a lot. The corner pieces are solid to provide bracing but all others components are totally modular.
A small storage/garage for the city. The ground floor of the green building was inspired by another one that I found around, but I can't find the photo or the author to sign the "credits".
Something simple to "cut" with the usual modular buildings design.
60° Origami Modular (Maria Sinayskaya)
rectangles (1:2), 4 units, no glue
Some other variations of this unit.
I wish I could do this in real bricks (with some variety added, of course). It would mean having to order a couple thousand 1x1 plates and headlight bricks, though.
Modular Origami Stars (Maria Sinayskaya)
The bigger stars are folded from double bronze rectangles (2:sqrt3) and the smaller one from bronze (1:sqrt3). Similar designs to the previous ones, with more interesting reverse sides.
6 units for each, no glue

Here are some other folds made with paper from the same pack:

I have to say, it's a great idea to keep the number of colors per pack limited to just 5 or 6. This way you have a nice palette with colors that work together and you have enough sheets of each color per pack. Ideal for modular origami!

rectangles (3:4), double bronze, 12 units, no glue
Other rectangles are also possible with this folding sequence.
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!

I wanted to see how the Ollivanders section of the official Diagon Alley (75978) would look if it were beefed up to a modular size. The most obvious change is the addition of the third floor of Ollivanders, but obviously the interiors of all floors have been updated. I will probably be tinkering with them in the future.

Paper: Hexagons cutted from 20 cm, 15 cm, 10 cm, 7.5 cm and 5 cm Glassine
Modules: 5
Based on a Model by Tomoko Fuse
Wanted to redo this star for some time with more layers. To fit one hexagon into the other, I had to fold the other tips outside too and couldn't use Tomoko Fuse's locking mechanism. Depending on the size of the inner hexagon, the layers are moving a bit.

Modular Origami Stars (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 6 units, no glue
Out of these three stars one features just a single pattern (star), another shows two (star+star) and the third combines 3 patterns (star+pinwheel+wreath).
Other stars with a single pattern (pinwheel, wreath):

Other stars with two elements combined (star+wreath, star+pinwheel, pinwheel+wreath):
www.flickr.com/photos/goorigami/26481623896/in/photostream/
There are some other combinations and with big enough squares one can go even deeper, adding more elements on top.
I used 7.5 cm kami paper by Peter Keller. Same pack as here:

3x3 cm. Double tissue paper.
One of the latest.
I really really have bad times when it comes to finding high quality paper here in Mexico, and bring paper in from overseas is painfully expensive.
It may not have the vivid colors as Maria original ones, but I really hope to refold these stars with a better quality paper.
For most of the stars I keep the same color Maria is using, it seems she is unbeatable at the mixtures she uses for every star.
I don't have proper lighting equipment and I'm finding quite difficult to photograph tissue paper because some times is a bit reflective and you get reflections all over the model.
This photos will be a little weird when it comes to lighting and colors.

This is a new version of my Modular Railway Station. The model consists of a main building and three platform sections.

60° Origami Modulars (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 12, 5, 4 units, no glue
The units in the top picture are of different sizes (the farthest is the biggest). I have 5 such units actually, but folding all of those does not make much sense:)
Modular Origami Coaster (Maria Sinayskaya)
circles, 6 units, no glue
One fold less than here and a star becomes a round coaster!
This miniature city is created with (mostly) 4x4 modular segments that each can be rearranged to create different cities with unique infrastructures. Cars can drive on the roads, boats can navigate through the canals and underneath the functional bridges and the train follows the railway simply by pushing it!
