Modernist modular building enters first 2023 LEGO Ideas review
The first modular building based on a modernist design is being proposed as part of the first 2023 LEGO Ideas review, with comparative images too.
Coming from Rock the Brick shortly after the Monsters, Inc. project is the Iljinai Family House, based on one of the most iconic buildings in Lithuania. The house was designed by Arnas Funkas and embraces aspects of modernism for a unique appearance.
The LEGO version of this house uses around 2,600 bricks and stretches beyond the dimensions of a standard baseplate. One of the most notable aspects of the real building is the window section that hangs over the doorway. Rock the Brick has provided a comparison image to showcase how closely the model depicts this architectural feature.
The description for this project notes that modular buildings so far have focused mostly on baroque, renaissance or Chinese revival architecture and the hope is that this project can become the first modular building to feature modernism, though other modular submissions on LEGO Ideas haven’t had much success so far.
