Where will BrickLink Series 10’s LEGO modular buildings fit?
Two LEGO modular buildings are coming in Series 10 of the BrickLink Designer Program, and you’ll need to find a place for them on your street.
The finalist selection in Series 10 of the BrickLink Designer Program includes two wider modular buildings, or at least buildings that will fit nearly seamlessly in a modular street. One of the best parts of the modular building range is displaying multiple of the sets in a row, forming a street.
With the knowledge that two more buildings will be using up LEGO budgets when crowdfunding for Series 10 starts in February 2027, we can start to plan their placement on the street. To find the best spots for these buildings, we’ll consider their architecture, what services they offer minifigures and their overall height compared to other buildings in the skyline.
Read on to see what we think you should place next to the two Series 10 BrickLink Designer Program modular buildings. Note that this is based on the fan designs, but the final models shouldn’t differ too greatly based sets in prior series.
Firehouse
Brickhucker’s Firehouse is the larger of the two Series 10 buildings, but it shares the same footprint of 48 studs wide and 32 studs deep. It acts as a corner module with a small side street to the left, and the building can be split into two parts, which will be useful for placement.
The architectural design of the firehouse seemingly skirts the line between firehouses in different regions, and its colour scheme positions it perfect for display next to two sets. The dark green colour of the bell tower and dark red brickwork means it will go well with the similar colour scheme of 10350 Tudor Corner. The clock print is also the same, tying that story into the build.
The British modular building also happens to have a gap to its left, where you would connect the firehouse to. This would then allow you to appreciate the details on display down the side street of the bell tower module. That colour scehme would also work with 10246 Detective’s Office, and the presence of a water tower o the two buildings would make them blend in more seamlessly, too.
The Firehouse adds a new place for firefighters in the Modular Buildings range, and such a service would do well to be placed next to the collection’s police station. 10278 Police Station has a shorter building on its right, too, to help the dark green bell tower stand out. The ivy climbing up the wall is also present in the official modular building, creating a narrative that connects them.
One final suggestion would be remove the bell tower from the equation entirely The Series 10 can be split into the dark red garage and the dark green bell tower. The architecture of the garage is a closer match to that of 10197 Fire Brigade. By detaching the bell tower and placing the garage next to the taller building, it should create a seamless display that greatly expands the official LEGO firehouse.
The Space Cafe
Rocknbricks31’s Space Cafe isn’t quite as easy to work with than the Firehouse. The diner-like building is inherently flashy in its design, intending to stand out and even extending beyond the 32-stud footprint of the baseplate. That latter point won’t be an issue as long as you treat is as a corner module. The architecture presents more of a challenge, though.
By using a similar logic to that which we applied to the Firehouse, looking for buildings with a shorter footprint to the right is a good place to start. That brings to mind 910034 Brick Cross Station, which also happens to be part of the BrickLink Designer Program. The elevated pathway outside of the Dark Ages restaurant would pair well with the elevation introduced next to the rocket and the alley in the Space Cafe
The architecture between the two models is starkly different, but that’s going to be the case with most modular buildings. The recent 11371 Shopping Street is another good option, featuring a shorter section on the right hand side. The colour scheme of this model – the sand green and white hues – should blend decently with the teal and white colour scheme of the Space Cafe too.
Also with a shorter right-hand section is 10243 Parisian Restaurant, but the massive difference between the architectural styles will otherwise limit the compatibility between these two sets.
Possibly the best partner for the Space Cafe is going to be the LEGO Group’s modular diner – 10260 Downtown Diner. As much as this building has its tallest point on the right side, the context, the architecture and the colour scheme are all a match with the Space Cafe. In fact, having that taller section between the standard diner and the heavily-themed Space Cafe could create a diner district in your modular street.
It’s an exciting time to be a modular building collector, but bad news for your wallet. Crowdfunding for Series 10 starts in February 2027, with two more modular buildings to pick up. Pricing for them will be confirmed at a later date.
