Victorian houses made out of Lego

September 30, 2011

The blogger Mike Doyle, who has a blog about the thoughts of board games and game aesthetics, made three houses of Lego. He went to Legoland with his family and got addicted to playing with Lego. Doyle went online to search for Lego communities and found it vibrating and thought the creativity was enormous with Lego. The idea of making the three victorian houses came from an online search and is his first project containing Lego pieces. The theme is abandoned buildings:

‘Abandoned buildings though is new though… I think. I’ve seen the occasional shack and destroyed/demolished house. But the idea of showing a ruined home in a neutral manner devoid of a story or any message at all is very fascinating to me and something I’ve yet to run across in the world of legos.’

The three building have different names and different stories. The pictures are all in black, white and grey to keep the right mood for the meaning of these Victorian houses. For example the third and last house, the Victorian on mud, was made in roughly 600 hours time and uses nearly 130.000 pieces of Lego. For more explanation of each house, making of the houses and more information and photos go to his blog named Mike Doyle’s Snap.
