Benches

Here are a few examples of different benches and a bus shelter.

36 Chapter 4

Park Bench

Your city needs stoplights to help control the flow of traffic. You can build a simple light on the side of the street or go more elaborate and have one that hangs over the street.

I’m starting to think that “Push to Cross” button is a placebo just like the “Close Doors” button in an elevator.

You aren’t limited to the simple lamp post that LEGO provides; there are many unique lamp posts out there that are begging to be made in LEGO scale. Take a look at some of these examples and see if you can figure out how they were made.

Street Light

Furnishing the inside of your building can really help complete the overall look of your creation. In this chapter, we will go through each room of a house and show some furniture examples to help you get started. We hope these designs will inspire you to tinker and create your own versions for your building.

Living Room

Let’s start with the living room. Try copying the furniture in your own house as a jumping-off point.

The console table shown here features some nice fringed table lamps for a retro look.

TVs

Your minifigs need entertainment, right? Give them a TV appropriate to the time period of your city.

Seating

Using the same color for sofas and chairs creates the look of a matching set.

There are so many ways to make chairs that each house could have something unique.

I would love to recline on that sofa.

Appliances

These ovens vary only slightly in style, but you can customize the stove by making one of the burners red-hot or putting a pan on top.

Try creating some items similar to these for your kitchen. A dishwasher, coffee­maker, microwave, island, and toaster are just some of the items that make up the overall look of the kitchen.

King Bed

Dressers and Nightstands

Let’s look at a few examples of dressers and nightstands. Nightstands are like bookends for the bed. To add detail, place objects on them such as alarm clocks, lamps, or books.

Kids’ Rooms

A child’s bedroom typically looks really different from an adult’s bedroom and should have furniture and knickknacks to reflect that.

A race car bed, toys, and bright colors can help show that it is a child’s bedroom right away.

Kid’s Race Car Bed

These sinks all use the same bowl but differ underneath. A simple sink with exposed
plumbing, a sink with an attached
cabinet, and a pedestal sink all provide unique looks.

Rounding out the bathroom is the toilet.

Bathtub

These stand-alone tubs are great for larger bathrooms.

You can choose between this tub with a shower or a stall shower depending on the size of the bathroom.

You could put your minifig’s upper half in the tub to make it look like he is submerged in water.

Commercial Buildings

Homes are certainly not the only style of modular building. Here are some examples of furniture from different commercial buildings.

Bank

This group of office furniture was used in our National Bank model.

Restaurant

Here are some examples of items foun in a restaurant kitchen. A larger sink, prep table, and shelves of ingredient help fill up the kitchen fast.

The dining area of the restauran usually has booths, tables, chairs, a ba and some decorative elements like plant or pictures on the walls.

Hotel

Check out these examples of furniture that you would find in a hotel room.

The mailbox, flower pedestal, ke machine, and front desk could be foun in the lobby area.

modular buildings

Have a look at some of the modular buildings that we’ve created. If you haven’t yet created an original LEGO build, we encourage you to give it a try. Get inspired by the models in this chapter, as well as those created by the LEGO Group.

City Restaurant has a great sign, as well as a facade with some creative stonework. It has a full kitchen in the back.

These houses represent two of the many styles that line the canals in Amsterdam. The skinny apartment building with steeply sloped roofs and the posts next to the canal make this scene unmistakably Dutch.

Modular Building Gallery 75

This architecture firm has an open lobby on the first floor that extends up to the third floor. The top floor features a commanding view of the city that surrounds it.

The National Bank was inspired by a bank in Richmond, Virginia, and features neoclassical architecture.

Mini Modulars

These are smaller-scale versions of some of our models. The size for these builds is $8\times 8$ , rather than $32\times 32$ . Building small is

Corner Drugstore

The corner drugstore re-creates an icon of classic Americana. You can almost see the soda jerk behind the counter. The drugstore has a small shop area as well as a back room for deliveries. Stairs lead to the second floor apartment, which has a fully furnished interior for the owner of the store. An apothe­ cary’s mortar-and-pestle sign, as well as the “SODA” billboard on the roof, make the building instantly identifiable even before you look inside.

We encourage you to experiment and customize our creations. We’ll give you some ideas as you build!

While you’re there, you can also find building instructions for a delivery truck that fits perfectly in the stockroom.

First Floor

Roof

These three residential designs use the same base model as a starting point, which you’ll build first. The exposed studs on the face of the building allow you to connect various facades.

Assembling the structural elements of your building separate from the decorative parts lets you really experiment with new techniques.

With the base complete, you’ll see instructions for the Parisian Apartment (page 169) and Colonial Row House (page 177), which use the complete base structure in two very different styles. The Canal Ring House (page 184), built in the style of Amsterdam’s Canal Ring district, uses the first two levels of the residential building but has a completely different third story and roof.

THE LEGOARCHITECTUREIDEABOOK

Iremember building with basic LEGO bricks as a child.My natural tendency,eventhen,wastobuildarchitectural structures.My dad is a generalcontractor,soI grew up around the building process, surrounded by unusual woodworking projects like a convexfrontdoor.I suspect my early exposure to buildingprojects trainedme to seethe littledetails in architectureeverywhere.WhenItravel,Ialwayshaveacamerain hand to capture interesting and often quirky designs.Maybe I’ll getafew odd lookswhen snapping a photo of what appears to be a boringwall,but if there’s an interesting detail,I want to documentit.

Identifying Parts

Therearethousandsof different LEGOparts andmany different online catalogs and references. Unfortunately,the naming andpartnumbering systemsusedby thesecatalogsarenot universal, obvious, or logical.Ihave tried to find ahappy medium when identifying parts used in the models,using the following convention:

Size: Some catalogs reverse the size formatfor certain parts.Forexample,BrickLink（https://www.bricklink.com/） listsslopesas4x2insteadof2x4.If thesizedoesn’t seem to make sense,try reversing it.

In additiontofinding inspiration in real-world architecture,I am motivated by the LEGO communityandthe modelsI see atconventions,in workshops, and on blog posts.There are somanyphenomenalbuilderswhostretchtherepertoireof howbricks can be used,not just in architectural modelsbut in theLEGO world as a whole.It’s important to acknowledge the influence of other people’s ideas, even when they may beunconsciously absorbed.So to allthebuildersout there, thankyou for contributing to the collective creative wisdom of this community.I am grateful to everyone who may have contributed,even inthe slightestway,toalight-bulb moment. It is the collective creativity of us allthatkeeps this hobby fresh and inspiring.

Part Name: Names are made as concise and clear as possible.Printed parts and stickers have extremely long names, so manyarereferencedbywhat setsthey come in.

Part Number: Some catalogs differentiate between many differentversionsofapart.Moldshavechangedoverthe decades, so sometimes a part will have identifiers like a, b,orc atthe end of the number.I omit these identifiers,as itusuallydoesn’tmatterwhichversionit is.Whenitdoes matter, I make a note of it.

AboutThisBook

Brickwork

Simple Brick Walls

Use modified bricks to create wall variations and patterns.Texture can make a monochromatic wall more interesting without using more-complicated techniques.

1x2 modified brick with masonry profile #98283

1x2 modified brick with grill #2877

1x2 jumperplate 15573

1x2 modified log brick #30136

1x2 modified brick with groove #4216

2x2 modified brickwith sloped end #47457

DecorativeRelief

Raised tiles, hinge bricks, and hinge plates add texture to plain surfaces, creating decorative relief patterns.

Raised tiles add interest to a monochromatic wall.The wall can be set back on jumper plates (left) or flush (right).

Raised 1x2 tiles (#3069) add texture to 1x2 modified bricks with masonry profile (#98283), and a subtle color contrast adds interest.

The bump of the hinge bricks (#3830 with #3831) creates the look of irregular bricks that can be arranged randomly or in a pattern.

Hinge plates (#2429 with #2430) create a similar texture.

Quoins

A quoin is an architectural element used to accentuate masonry blocks at exterior corners of a wall. They can be overlapping or non-overlapping.

You can also build quoins using textured bricks or even gold bar pieces (#99563).

Alternating 1x1 bricks (#3005)with 1x1 round bricks (#3062) creates a subtle quoin.

How To: Overlapping Quoins

Because 1x2 tiles (#3069) do not have any stud holders,you can slide the tile over to cover the depth of the 1x1 tile (#3070).

You can use either a 1x1 brick with studs on 2 adjacent sides (#26604), as shown on the left, or a 1x1 brick with studs on 4 sides (#4733) placed next to a 1x1 Technic brick (#6541), as shown on the right.

Stone Facade Walls

Use tiles on a background wallto create a raised facade.The background wall can be a solid color, creating a grout effect, or mixed to look aged and mossy.

Mix colors to make a mottled background.

How To

The back of the wall shows how the Technic half pins are arranged.To offset the $2\times 4$ tiles,three different types of bricks are used on the front of the wall.

1 1x4 brick with 4 studs on side #30414 (or two 1x2 bricks with 2 studs on side #11211)
2 1x2 brick with 2 studs on side #11211 (or 1x2 brick with 2 studs on 2 sides #52107)
3 1x2 Technic brick #3700
4 Technic half pin #4274

Alternate a brick and a stud to create a pattern with 1x2 tiles. Using contrasting colors makes the bricks behind the tiles look like grout.

1 1x1 brick with stud on side #87087
$\bullet$ 1x2 tile #3069

Attach 1x1 tiles to headlight bricks. Offset the headlights by a plate for a nice alternating pattern.

1x1 headlight brick #4070 2 1x1 tile #3070

For a wider grout line or to allow tiles or plates to sit at an angle, space the studs out.

1 1x1 brick with stud on side #87087
2 1x2 plate #3023

Weathered Walls

Use several shades of small plates to mimic discoloration from age and weather.
As plates are smaller than bricks, they show changes in color more gradually.

Different colorfamiliesprovide different weathering effects. Use green plates to mimic an old wall covered in moss.

Arrange 1x2 tiles (#3069) and
1x2 jumper plates (#3794/#15573)
by recessing some and pushing
others out tovary the color
and texture.

How To: Choosing the Right Colors

Use a variety of bricks from the same color family to make a simple weathered wall.

1 Dark orange, medium dark flesh, tan, dark tan, reddish brown, darkbrown 2 Dark blue,sand blue,white,light gray, dark gray, black ? Sand green,dark green, olive green

Mix 1x2 jumper plates (#3794/#15573) and 1x2 plates with rail (#32028)for very subtle texture on the front (top) or exaggerated texture on the back (bottom).

Combine a variety of pieces to build a deteriorating wall.

0 1x2 plate with rail #32028
2 1x1 plate #3024
③ 1x1 round plate #4073
? 1x2 tile #3069
? 1x1 round tile #98138
6 1x2 modified brick with masonry profile
#98283

Stacking 1x1 round plates (#4073) makes a pebbled wall. A mix of the natural colors creates variegation,and a few well-spaced 1x2 plates (#3023) hold it all together.

Add 2x2x2 slopes (#3688) to reinforce and emphasize the corners of a pebbled wall.

Crumbling Walls

Crumbling stucco or plaster can reveal the exposed rebar or the masonry underneath.

Attachtilesto brickswith studson sidesetbackon a jumperplate.Attachthe tile with one stud if you want it tilted or two studs if you want it straight.

Integratewith vegetation when a building is being reclaimedby thewildorto show climbing vines.

How To: Exposed Rebar

Connecthorizontal barsto 1x2Technicbricks with axle holes (#32064),and fit vertical bars into the open studs of jumper plates on the back row of bricks.The irregular opening created with slopes emphasizes the look.

Or use a combination of #2 axle and pin connectors,Technic bushes,and 3L or 4L axles, bars, or other similar pieces to create the exposed rebar look.

1 #2 axle and pin connector #32034 3L axle #4519
? Technic bush #3713

Wall Cladding and Shingles

Simple Siding

Tiles have a subtle groove at the bottom that you can use to emphasize gaps between the pieces.Mixing in curved slopes creates even more texture.

Textured Siding

Wood-grain tiles come in a variety of lengths and colors. You can use the same wood-grain tiles to add wainscoting to a particular area of a wall.

Gold bar pieces (#99563) also add an interesting texture.

Contrasting Siding

Attaching tiles to1x2 jumperplates (#3794/#15573) and $2\times 2$ jumper plates (#87580) creates a gap between each row of tiles.Use a contrasting color to emphasize the gap.

Ramshackle Siding

Interspersing studdedbrickswith regular bricks gives you room to tilt the tiles, creating a worndown look.

Using headlight bricks or bricks with studs on side instead of jumper plates creates a smaler gap.

0 1x4tile#2431 3 2x2 hinge brick top#6134
2 1x6 tile #6636 ? 1x2 hinge brick base #3937

Flat Slope Siding

Standard slopes have a flat lip that creates the look of overlapping siding.

For vertical siding,use a hinge brick (#3937with #3938 or #6134)to angle the slopes straight up.

For horizontal siding,alternate layers between supports that hold the layers firmly in place. It also looks good to frame the siding in a contrasting color.

Cheese Slope Siding

Usecheese slopes to make siding or a shingled roof.The slopescan be set at a slightly crooked anglefor an aged look thanks to the tolerances betweenparts.

Use complementary colorsfor a more randomlookor use contrasting colors to create a regularpattern.

You can tweak this technique to cover not only flat surfaces but also sloping ones.

Attach cheese slopesto jumper plates for an offset look.

2 2x6 plate #3795

To create a smooth surface,use a mix of plates and bricks so that the cheese slopes are level with the next row.

Curved Slope Siding

Curved slopes create overlapping patterns that can be either brickwork or woodwork, depending on their color.

1x2 curved slope #11477

2x2 curved slope #15068

1x3 curved slope #50950

1x4 curved slope #61678

Simple Shingles

Arrange tiles vertically to create shingle patterns for walls and roofs.Tiles can be partially or fully attached.

These tiles are only partially attached, and they’re vulnerable to coming off.The bottom layer can be straight or staggered.

These tiles are partially attached on alternating ends.

These tiles are fully attached to staggered layers of plates. As you can see, they’re flush with the plates and securely attached,though the siding becomes thicker with each layer.

Tilt a tiled wall at an angle using hinge bricks (#3937 with #6134).Putting 2x2 slopes (#3039) under the hinges makes the hinges less likely to get pushed over.

Fishscale Shingles

Round and pentagonal tiles can be used for an entire wall or as a decorative shingle border or feature.

2x2round tile 14769

2x4 tile #87079 2x2 round tile 14769

1x1 half rounded tile #24246

2x2 round tile 14769
2x3 pentagonal tile #22385

2x2 round tile 14769 2x2 macaroni tile #27925

Fishscale Shingle Roofs

You can use round tiles to cover sloped surfaces as well.

Layer $2\times 2$ round tiles (#4150/#14769) to create a stepped roof.

Use colorful tiles for a gingerbread house.

2x3 modified plate with hole #3176

You can achieve a similar look using 2x2 round plates (#4032),which look best when offset by one stud and with color variation.

Clip-on Shingles

Tiles with clips create secure shingles thatyou can stagger to create rustic siding.

This shingle technique is 2 studs deep. You can cover the edges and corners by stacking 2x2x2 containers (#61780).

HowTo

Use a 2x4 brick (#3001) on thebottom so that each row of tiles sitsatanangle.Ontheleft,a $2\times 3$ tilewith 2 clips (#30350) is attached to a 1x2 plate with handle on side (#48336).

You can also stagger the height of shingles using plates,as shown on the right.The first plate with handle(gray)sits threebricksfrom the bottom. Successive layersofplatesarethentwobricks apart.Adjacentplates can be staggeredup or down one or two plates (lavender).

Clip-on Shingle Roofs

To modify this technique for roofs or other sloped surfaces,you can layer tiles and other flat pieces on staggered plates to create a nice pattern.

2x2 trapezoid flag #44676

2x3 tile with 2 clips #30350 1x2platewith handle onside #48336

2x2 square flag #2335

Any of these tiles can attach to handles or to a 3mm soft hose (#bb145).

Curved Shingles

Make a curved shingle wall or roof using rows of 1x2 curved slopes on 2x plates connectedto plateswith clipsandhandles.

The curved slopes are staggered to cover the gaps betweenthe plates.

The curved shinglesare attachedto the base with ahingebrick(#3937with#6134).

Curved Walls

Simple Curved Walls

A wall built with 1x2bricks (#30o4) has enough give thatyou canbend it slightly.
Be careful,though,because forcing too tight of a curve can damage your pieces.

You canalso gently bendwallsbuiltwith 1x2 plates (#3023).

Plate Walls

Alternating 1x2 plates (#3023) with 1x1 round plates (#4073) makes a curved wall.
The round plates act like joints: this wall can be bent into a variety of curved shapes.

HowTo

Use this technique with longer plates or in different colors to create new patterns.

0 1x2 plate #3023

②1x1 roundplate #4073

Use clear plates to create a curved window.

Brick and Cylinder Walls

You can also use bricks to make a curved wall, using 1x1 round bricks (#3062) as joints.

You can alternate 1x1 round bricks with any type of brick:1x2 bricks (#3004), 1x3 bricks (#3622),and so on.

Using1x2 brickswith 2 studson side (#11211) lets you add cladding toyour wall orcover itwithvines.

Using 1x4 modified log bricks(#30137) givesyourwall a more uniform look.

Grouted Walls

Combine tiles,plates, and bricks to create a bendable wall with distinctive grout lines.

HowTo

The parts used in this wall are designed with a tiny amount of wiggle room so that they can give slightly when put together. This technique creates just enough give to allow the wall to flex in either direction.

Liftarm Walls

Connecting Technic liftarms with axles can create a rigid wall. Using pins,bars,or hoses as connectors between liftarms makes a flexible wall.

HowTo

Stagger pins of different lengths to connect liftarms together. Using pins without friction ridges increases the flexibility of your wall.

1 Pin with friction ridges #2780 (or pin without friction ridges #3673)
2 3Lpin #6558
? 1x2liftarm #43857

Liftarms come in both thick and thin varieties. Make a fence by using 1x3 thin liftarms (#6632) and leaving empty spaces between them.

Hinge Walls and Railings

Hinge bricks and plates are very useful for making all kinds of curved walls and railings.

Keep hinges on one side to create an arch or alternate the direction of the hinges to curve a wall in either direction.

Hinge plates make a good base for balustrades. Use telescopes as balusters.

Framing and Paneling

Simple Timber Framing

Half-timbered buildings have striking colors and patterns created by the timbers and the infill, which can be plastered or left exposed.

HowTo

A 1x4 tile fits perfectly into the slot between a slope and an inverted slope offset by a half stud.

Timber Framing with Masonry

The space between timbers is often left exposed to reveal the infillmasonry. You can replicate this masonry with 1x1 cheese slopes and an occasional 1x1 tile.

HowTo

Although the cheese slopes shouldfit well enough to stay in with a bit of tension,it’s a goodideato reinforcewithtapeontheback topreventthem from jiggling free.You can also wedge ahalf pin inthebase of thecheese slope to help stabilizethe angled1x1x5brick.

Timber Framing Variations

Many parts can be used to re-create the look of half-timbering.Historic timbered buildings are often brightly colored, so don’t feel limited to using brown.

A bar,antenna, or hose can fit inside this framed space, created using tiles on 1x1 bricks with stud on side (#87087). You can cut longer rigid hose and angle the cut at each end to fit the corner as needed, or bend to form a curved timber frame.

Here,one piece of 3mm rigid hose (#75) makes the complete arch. On each side,the hose is anchored to the bottom with a 1x2 plate with pin hole on top (#11458).At the top of the arch, the hose is inserted through a 1x1 Technic brick (#6541) in the middle divider.

How To: Timber Framing with Turntables

Turntable bases create a circular pattern that is reminiscent of timber framed woodwork. This effect works best when solid studs show through, so attach the turntable bases to plates.

Create simple contrasting frames using various dark-colored 1x brickswith white 1x2x5 bricks (#2454)or 1x2x2 bricks (#3245),which can also be set back on jumper plates.

For a thinner frame, use $2\times 2-2\times 2$ brackets (#3956).

Simple Paneling

Panel pieces have defined edges that help break up a large section of wall. You can use this technique to add color or texture variations on an interior or exterior wall.

Large panels come in a variety of colors and sizes.

Framing a large panel in a contrasting color helps to add interest.

The 1x6x5 corrugated panel (#23405) has indentations that can act as narrow paneling.

The 2x2 seat (#4079) has reinforced edges that create a similar effect. You can even flip the seats to face the other way for an interesting look, as the seat backs are slightly convex with rounded corners.

Paneling Using Containers

Use $2\times 2\times 2$ containers (#61780) to give texture to exterior walls, especially those on the edge of a model that might otherwise seem too plain.

Because the top of the container has limited clutch power, you need to frame it with regular plates or bricks.Put an axle through the center of the container to give it extra strength.

You can even use the top of container pieces for an interesting look.

The sides of the crate (#30150) have a slight relief pattern,which when stacked forms a subtle paneling effect. Crates should be framed because they haveweak clutch power on top.

Layering 2xplates betweeneach row of container pieces adds strength and additional texture.

Paneling Using Windows

Use window frames to create paneling and geometric patterns on walls. Fill the background using bricks in either the same or a contrasting color.

You can also fill windows with 1x1 cheese slopes (#54200),1x2 tiles (#3069),and 1x3 tiles (#63864) to mimic masonry.

Decorative Paneling

Use smooth tiles to create raised panels, or combine textured pieces like Scala plates and lift doors for a more ornate decorative effect.

Create raised panels by attaching tiles to jumper plates to create half-stud recessed borders. The gaps expose the dark gray tiles underneath.

Use 4x8 modified plates with studs in center (#6576) with a variety of parts:

01x2tile#3069 ●1x3 curved slope #50950
2 1x2 plate with rail #32028 1x6 tile #6636

How To: Recessed Panel Borders

Use panel pieces for a deeper recessed border.

Combine a 1x4x4 door frame (#6154) and a1x4x4 liftdoor (#6155) for a panel with horizontal grooves.

The 4x4 Scala plate (#33062) has a quatrefoil shape that becomes apanel when framed by tiles.It also fits intothe cutout of a 6x4 double inverted slopewith $4\times 4$ cutout (#30283).

Use 1x1 round bricks (#3062) and 1x2 tiles (#3069) to give yourpanels some decorative framing.

The $6\times 3$ hinge panel (#2440) has a beveled shape so thatwhen used in a row, it creates a slightly concave wall.

Patterned Walls

Horizontal Stripes

Plates with rail create interesting striped shadows, even making plates of the same color appear darker.

Go for a monochromatic look or use a contrasting color.

1x8plate with rail #4510

Accentuate these shadows by using different colors between the layers.Here, dark tan, reddish brown, and dark brown plates create an ombré effect.

To create narrower stripes, alternate $2\times 8$ plates with wide rail (#30586) and 2x8 plates (#3034).

Vertical Stripes

Combine plates (for structure) and the grooved edges of jumper plates and tiles to create a subtle vertical texture.

Use the newer style of jumper plates with groove for this technique.

You can frame stacks of jumper plates (or jumper plates and standard plates) to make paneling.Attach the end of each stack to a brick with stud on side.

Place 1x2x1 panels (#4865) back to back in offset rows to create a pattern of horizontal (or vertical) ribs.

You can make a gridded pattern using $2\times 2\times 1$ corner panels (#91501),which works well with or without the stud exposed.

Create a pattern using a mix of panel shapes.
