A collaborative project between my partner and me. They design buildings in sketches on paper, I iterate them into LEGO designs matching the LEGO/Bricktober Mini Modular standard, and together we go looking for parts in local secondhand stores' bulk bins and then Bricklink the rest. We've done 4 so far! The pizza place is an official set, 40181.
Lego modular inspired by rococo architecture. Computer rendering but only existing bricks were used.
A simple star from waterbomb bases, folded from circles.
Or one can say it's made from preliminary bases - on a circle they are the same thing.

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 :)
After 3 years Con'ing - and watching the likes of Pepa Quinn and Mark Larson pack down their layouts, I set off to try to add some modularity and build more collapsible. So when I was building the Mechhanest I did put some thought to how to compact this down as much as possible.
I also thought about modularizing the system a bit to be able to make this hangar expandable - Though I'll probably make the next section be a single mech bay, instead of two scrawny ones :D
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.
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.
A simple modular star from circles (6 units, no glue)
It looks the same way on the other side.

Building the highlands castle, really stimulated my mind, and I was left wondering what would these techniques and styles look like if they were incorporated into the modular castle system.
This is my first attempt at the gatehouse. There is definately a lot i'd like to change, but i like it enough for an innitial upload.
As always if you are interested in the project, go to my lego ideas castle, and support it, so it can become a real set!
For a long time I wanted to build/design a railway station, but it had to be designed upon the following conditions:
- only cheap parts to be used while still having a good looking design
- fit in with the modular buildings
- the station being modular as well
To achieve the first point I tried to use mostly parts that are often available in Lego stores. Therefore most of the station building can be built with only 1x2 and 1x1 tan bricks (not considering bricks for snot). Also the 1x4x3 white windows are often offered on the PaB wall, so I decided to build a glass canopy for the facade and the platforms as well. The masonry bricks used for the platforms can be changed with normal bricks, therefore only very few pieces might be costly (or not).
The second goal wasn't hard to fulfill: the building is 32 bricks long and 16 bricks wide. The second floor can be added several times to make it higher. Therefore you can put it next to Lego's modular buildings and it will fit nicely.
The station is modular as well: You don't have to build the canopy above the platforms, but it's a nice addition. The platform is divided into several sections, which results in the station being able to be enlarged in width and length.
The station design is simple but effective and isn't based on any real building. The small towers aren't really necessary, but they are a nice addition. I got the idea for these as I recently got a Bionicle polybag with 4 of these pieces: www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=20252&ccName=6106738
Any suggestions? I'd be happy to hear what you think of it!!!

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.
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.
Modular Origami Stars (Maria Sinayskaya)
rectangles (1:3), 8 units, no glue
All these are folded from 1:3 rectangles of the same size (2.5*7.5 cm). The smallest stars will work better from 2:5 though.

A Greek meander pattern folded as modular origami. The bent frame technique is the “Thoki Yenn style” which I also employed in a number of other models.
Each of the five full loops of the curve is a single unit, folded from a 1:5 rectangle, so that the whole model can be made from five pieces cut from a single square. Of course, it is possible to add as many units as required to make a longer model.
In theory, one could fold the whole thing (or even arbitrarily many turns of the curve) from a single long strip of paper, but such long strips are not very practical to fold with. For those who do not like even 1:5 ratio paper, it is possible to make each segment a separate unit, thus exchanging the ease of folding for much more measuring and cutting.
