I've refined the modular building quite a lot. The corner pieces are solid to provide bracing but all others components are totally modular.
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!
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.

I'm happy with the way that the asymmetric frontage worked out - it's something you see occasionally around here. Minifig make up applied by Robert Smith of The Cure
60° Origami Modulars (Maria Sinayskaya)
rectangles (3:4), double bronze, 12 units, no glue
Other rectangles are also possible with this folding sequence.
Well, town is a strong word for it. Small street would be abetter description. So, this is my current project, a modular road. Ignore the random citizens in the actual road bit, they belong to the other side which isn't quite finished yet, due to a severe lack of parts.
So, we've currently got (on this side at least) a modded pet shop, the florist, which is still a work in progress, and the detectives office.
When I first started this, the pavement (or 'sidewalk' for the Americans), spanned the entirety of the studded part of the baseplates. However, in a moment of inspiration, I decided to fill the sides of the road with raised flower beds (flowers yet to be added). Quite a nice solution really.
So, that's it for now. At some point I'll upload a picture of the horror that is, the other side.
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.

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.

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):

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:
This is a new version of my Modular Railway Station. The model consists of a main building and three platform sections.
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.
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:)
This is a modular castle wall that can be expanded to your own liking. The main modules include the gate, the wall section and the corner section.
Each of them is connected to the other by technic pins.
If you wish to build these please check out the tutorials bellow:

Corner section: youtu.be/eLtpEeupXUs
Gate: youtu.be/dQxpJUcwIUA
I designed this with the Parisian Restaurant in mind, but it is made to be totally modular and used with any Modular from Lego or custom built.
The central part of my idea is the park, which in turn can be used as a larger park or two smaller ones, on the likes of the Lego Pet Shop modular.
But there’s more! It can be connected to extra pavements and these can also be used with your modulars, to create squares, make a standard modular look like a corner one, or create your own and unique combination. Did I mention that there's also a colorful mosaic?
There's a bunch of accessories, from a fire hydrant to a comfy bench, and some of them are used to disguise the standard Technic brick used to connect modulars.
And if that was not enough, you will get a lot of accessories to make your city stem to life!
There's a newspaper kiosk, designed to remind the Parisian ones, a crepes rickshaw, a trash trolley, a monumental statue, two wonderfully flowered trees and a big oak tree to give some shade in the park.
And then several other smaller accessories that can be used with this set or all over your modular town.
And, last but not least, there’s 7 minifigs (and a dog) to animate the town!
If you are a Lego Modulars fan, you will want to have all of these in your Lego town.

Paper: Flieder by Peter Keller
This one is disappointing because it doesn't seem to want to form a 30 unit model. At least not with 5 pointed stars and 12 of them. I haven't yet tried a dodecahedron assembly. Hopefully the structure is apparent, this is an octahedron and the stars go past each other which I quite like, I just need to work on the angles a bit more to get a 30 unit modular perhaps.
My latest experiment in something other than standard modular buildings. The alley features a dead end, some boxes and a dumpster.
MOC: Modular LEGO Store. Based on the LEGO Brand Retail Store set that has been used as a giveaway at store openings over the past couple of years, but blown up to minifig scale.
And yes, I know that the original set isn't a corner building, but I just hadn't built one yet and needed one for a layout I was working on :)
Make your very own Test Chamber out of LEGO, in any way that you want! First build the modular frame to the dimensions you choose, and then fill the walls and floor with tiles, platforms, buttons and more! Finally, add accessories such as turrets, cubes, small buttons, signs, cameras and most importantly, test subjects!
Includes four minifigures, Chell and 3 Aperture Science Sentry Turrets.
Completely modular design allows you to redesign the chamber for different tests.
Solve button puzzles with the Weighted Storage Cube, or dodge the laser sights of an array of turrets!
Use the 4 different pattern tiles to create any 2 digit number for the level sign.
Discover a hidden Ratman den behind the testing chamber walls.
Standard Testing Chamber arrangement is over 10" (25cm) long, 5" (12cm) deep and 6" (15cm) tall!
Combine multiple Modular Testing Chamber sets and your own module designs for unlimited variations. The possibilities are endless!
Parts Count: ???

A couple of weeks ago, I got my hands on a 1592 Town Square set (Dutch version). I had to restore it a little, and then I got the idea to make a building for my modular street inspired by this set. So this is the result. A corner house, built in the middle ages, the last in its sort, next to the last remaining part of the city walls. Maybe it was the house of the gatekeeper. Today the space behind the gate isn't used as road any more, but houses a little snack corner, where you can eat 'soep en worst' (as in the original 1983 set).
Next to another modular MOC it looks very small, but that is to be expected from a little mediaeval house.
I haven't yet remade the statue and the parade from set 1592.
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!

These are my modular buildings I've created several years ago. Most of these are already on Brickshelf but since I'm not able to access that account anymore I decided to upload them onto my Flickr account as well.
I still didn't have the heart to take them apart. I've even upgraded most of them over the years. Here's a little back story on all of them (from left to right)
The Bank is actually the fifth building I've created back in 2010. It does not contain an interior yet (altough I have plans to make one in the future).
The Ice saloon is the third building I've built (2009). I wanted to do something different with the facade and the floor. It worked out almost as what I had in mind.
The Pizzeria was the first MOC I ever created. It was build in 2008. I've upgraded it a bit over the years.
The florist I build directly after I built the pizzeria in 2008. It has a interior on the first floor.
The Book shop is adapted from a moc from somebody else. I've created it in 2009.
The left building is supposed to be a post office/restaurant in a typical Dutch style. It has no interior yet but I plan to create one. I've built this one in 2011.
If you want any detail photo's, just ask. I'd be happy to post them.
The Modular Assault Gauntlet (MAG) is a wearable combat system. The MAG operates with a plug-in firing system connected to a touch-activated trigger on the palm of the glove. Weapon systems are then attached to the wrist of the gauntlet via a mounted picatinny rail. One of the currently available variants; the MAG-GL, utilizes a modified M203 grenade launcher along with a laser sight so a soldier is not required to have a grenade launcher attached to their rifle; thus freeing up their rifle for other potential combat systems. Other additional weapon systems are currently in research, such as a taser attachment for law enforcement.

This was a concept I've been thinking up for a the past few weeks. I'm still not sure how practical this would be irl but it's cool as hell.
Made from; a SI-DAN wrist watch, a Brickarms M203 grenade launcher, a Brickarms Tactical PDW, and a lego hand.

Maybe not the very best option to showcase the design but I had to fold these stars AND I wanted to test the paper, so there you go:)
Here is another section of modular terrain. This time I chose to do a stream, since water is one of the areas where I think modular terrain standards could benefit from an update.
Here are the two modules connected together. I intentionally built the second without looking at the first, and remarkably enough they look pretty good when connected. If this were for a real MOC or display, I would add a rock or two to the road and a few more bits of grass to the river to blend the edges, but even as-is I'm pretty happy with how they connect.
