Interior of the bank with over-the-top Nouveau sconces. On the right behind the tellers you would normally see a row of safes and a security door in position when the building is fully assembled.
60° Origami Modulars (Maria Sinayskaya)
rectangles 1:2 (the central one), 2:3 (two small ones), no glue
Some shorter/longer rectangles will work too with this folding sequence.

I'm back baby! After a bit of a mini dark ages, I've been getting back into Lego, and now that I have my own computer, LDD is more promising an option than ever. So a project I'd wanted to do for a while is designing and making a modular police station that takes cues from 7744. So, after many hours of mood boarding, sketching, and actually building the thing in LDD, I present to you the first iteration of my Modular Police station. No furnishings as of yet besides stairs, but I want to adjust the foundation first before designing the inside.

Bauhaus masters' houses Dessau Germany / Walter Gropius - 1926
Parallel to the Bauhaus Building, the city of Dessau commissioned Walter Gropius to construct three pairs of identical semi-detached houses for the Bauhaus masters and a detached house for the director. These were built in a small pine wood near the Bauhaus school building. Gropius planned to build the complex based on a modular principle, using industrially prefabricated components. With this he wished to realise the principles of rational construction, both in the architecture and in the process of building. In view of the technical resources available at the time, his plan was only partially realised. The buildings take the form of interlocking cubic structures of various heights. Towards the street the semi-detached houses are distinguished by generously glazed studios; vertical strip windows on the sides let light into the staircases. Only the director’s house featured an asymmetric arrangement of windows. The light-coloured houses have generously-sized terraces and balconies and feature colourful accents on the window reveals, the undersides of the balconies and the drainpipes.
Walter Gropius and László Moholy-Nagy furnished their houses entirely with furniture by Marcel Breuer, while other masters brought their own furniture with them. All of the houses were fitted with built-in cupboards and modern household appliances. The list of residents reads like a ‘Who’s Who’ of modernists: László Moholy-Nagy, Lyonel Feininger, Georg Muche, Oskar Schlemmer, Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee, along with their families. Others lived here later, including Hannes Meyer, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Josef Albers, Hinnerk Scheper and Alfred Arndt. For the colour design of the interiors, artists such as Klee and Kandinsky developed own ideas that were closely related to their works. After the closure of the Bauhaus in 1932 the houses were let to third parties. The director’s house was destroyed in the war. Work on its reconstruction began just a few years ago. The rest of the complex was extensively renovated in 1992. The house that Kandinsky and Klee originally lived in and decorated is particularly fascinating on account of its colourfulness.
The Kandinsky/Klee Master House was reopened to visitors in 2019 after extensive restoration work. After the restoration, the Kandinsky/Klee Master House will give visitors the opportunity to experience with all their senses the life of Bauhaus masters in the surroundings they created themselves. Colours and furnishings depict the artistically shaped living and working environment, which was in contrast to Walter Gropius' design, especially in the Kandinsky/Klee Master House.
After the Bauhauslers moved out in 1932, the Masters’ Houses were radically transformed by modifications. Gropius House and Moholy-Nagy House were destroyed in an air raid in the final days of WWII. In the GDR era a single-family home with a pitched roof was erected on the foundations of Gropius House, but this was demolished again later. The gaps left behind in the ensemble of buildings were closed in 2014. A historically accurate reconstruction was rejected; Berlin-based architects Bruno Fioretti Marquez (BFM) created an ‘architecture of imprecision’ for the two demolished buildings. This evokes a deliberate sense of oscillation between specific historic state and reinterpretation. Emerging from the residential architecture designed by Walter Gropius in 1926 is an open spatial structure, which is used for exhibitions. Artist Olaf Nicolai has designed an installation for both buildings, which is inspired by Moholy-Nagy’s theories and in which abstraction and figuration interact. The Colour of Light (2014) links the texture of the render with the effects of daylight.
Well I can't remember how to make Flickr put photos in the order I want, which is annoying. Anyway check through the next four or five photos to see how this is expandable. I've got 8 x 16 internals now, but it can be easily expanded to an arbitrary size using 16 x 16 plates or 8 x 16 plates.
In response to a discussion started by AK_Brickster on www.classic-castle.com, I've been inspired to reimagine modular terrain standards like base8 and the Classic-Castle City standard. Here are some shots of a road I've built with some ideas of my own.

LEGO modular post office.
6455 parts.
Building instruction is available at: rebrickable.com/users/peedeejay/mocs/
This was one of the most challenging facades I ever built, but I‘m quite happy how it turned out. Inside you can find also an architect‘s office. This gave me the chance to try some microscale building for the first time.

My modular flower made from Peter Keller's origami paper (colour scheme "Herbst", Pack Autumn/Fall at etsy).
Peter Keller asked me to test his new paper for modular origami. Sheets are 5*5 cm. It is a bit small for me. I prefer size larger than 7*7 cm for my kusudamas from squares. However, this paper is very well suited to modular flowers or modular stars. For starters, I have chosen flowers.
The paper folds very well and has no damage on the creases.

Modular Origami Star (Maria Sinayskaya)
rectangles (2:sqrt3), 6 units, no glue
The star looks the same on both sides.
Nice pattern in the middle, but I'm not entirely happy with the layer distribution, the points are a bit too thick.
Killing time while waiting for parts.
If i ever manage to complete those models, i'll provide 4 separate part lists:
- 1 for the TIE/LN Starfighter.
- 1 for the TIE/IN Interceptor.
> Both models have the cockpit pod and wing spars in common.
- 1 for the TIE Experimental M1.
> It can be built mostly from the TIE/LN Starfighter + cannon pod + 1 x technic axle 16.
- 1 to be able to build any model (minimum needed combination of submodels to build all 3 models).
This modularity means that you can build a huge variety of keeps- part of the goal here is that if you want, just by buying multiple copies of this set you could easily create your own theme, complete with wizards towers, palaces, fortresses and who knows what else!

A little modular building or you.
A two-story book store, tool shop, studio apartment, and two-story condo. It comes in just over 3,000 pieces. And as with all modular, it has its own play story. I will be working to make instructions for Rebrickable.
A book store serves as the cover for two spies. They live above the book store in a studio-apartment. But is the tool store owner innocent in this crime?
Features include:
-Three separating floors (with roof)
-An open two-story books store
-Hidden rotating wall
-Sliding ladder
-Spiral stair case
-Multiple hidden compartments
-Working fire escape
-Murphy bed
A modular school.
Building instruction is available at: rebrickable.com/users/peedeejay/mocs/
Every city needs a school! The build spans among 3 baseplates and consists of 10 modules. The baseplates can be separated from each other for easy transportation. The complete model weighs about 10kg and has 14417 parts.
The front part contains the main entrance, some trees and a bus stop. The roof areas contain the ventilation units, photovoltaics and the clock.
The ground floor contains the main entrance hall with washrooms for boys and girls. The right wing of the ground floor contains a standard classroom for maths and literature. The left wing of the ground floor contains the music classroom, featuring a piano, drums and some other instruments.
The middle floor contains a cafeteria, where the students can get a quick bite and some refreshments. The left wing of the middle floor contains an IT-classroom and it seems the students are well stocked on mobile devices. The right wing of the middle floor contains the science classroom. At the moment some experiments are ongoing in the chemistry class.
The upper floor contains the library.

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.

For the STG (Starfighter Telephone Game). Though I am still not sure who this should ship to, and we are ironing that out, I wanted to post the images.
The goal was to make it modular like the original Blacktron line and this build is exactly what I hoped it would be when I signed up for this round like three years ago. Lol.
It has ten different, completely interchangeable modules, which can combine in a ridiculously high number of ways.
I am extremely proud of this build and it will be very difficult to part with, but I believe whoever ends up with it will be very very pleased.

Remember those how-many-triangles-can-you-see quizzes? :)
I have had the Pepe's Pizzeria sticker laying around since I bought LEGO 76108 to build my own Sanctum Sanctorum. I finally got around to building out the modular pizza shop to go with the sticker!
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 :)

As the sun drops, the shadows align into a strict pattern of alternating dark and bright planes. The repetition becomes almost architectural music, precise yet alive with the remnants of daylight.

Inspired by some beautiful examples of painted paper I saw recently, I decided to give it a go too!
So here is my first attempts to paint tant paper. Two sheets are colored with liquid acrylic paint (gold), one with cream acrylic (silver) and one with spray paint (bronze). Worked out quite nicely! :)
