Danish firm BIG has already laid the first red, blue and green bricks for its ‘LEGO House’, set for completion in 2016. Well, they’re calling it a house, but it looks more like a Lego village and it will be open to all *books ticket to Denmark*.

What the Danish firm is calling a ‘creative learning experience centre’ will be located in the small Danish city of Billund, which, as all Lego enthusiasts will know, is also home to Lego HQ and Legoland. It’s a Lego-topia.

The centre, which is expected to attract around 250,000 visitors a year, will host a series of ‘playful displays and installations’, primarily aimed at children, although they’ll also appeal to big kids we’re told.



Architect Bjarke Ingels said of the building: ‘We have been inspired by the modularity of the LEGO brick to create a house of all things LEGO. the LEGO house will appear like a cloud of interlocking LEGO bricks that form spaces for exploration and exhibition for its visitors within.’

There will be a Lego house in the middle and it will be surrounded by interconnected terraces and playgrounds for the people of Billund, as well as visiting fans, to enjoy.

Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, Lego group owner and grandson of the original founder, said: ‘I am very passionate about play and how children learn through playing with LEGO bricks. this is essentially the LEGO idea and what the LEGO house is all about. I look forward to seeing the longtime dream of having one place where anyone can experience the LEGO idea come true.’

Us too Kjeld. We were also wondering if you could knock us up a Lego shed when you’re done?
