[MOC] 79&PARK - Bjarke Ingels architecture from Stockholm

[Esben Kolind]

Hi all,

My latest model is an architecture scale (1:225) version of 79&PARK, an apartment building currently under construction in Stockholm. The building is designed by architects Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), the architects behind LEGO House in Billund.

The model is currently displayed in LEGO House as part of an exhibition of 10 different BIG buildings created by AFOLs around the world in the BIG Builders project.

A series of blog posts describing the early sketching, design choices, building techniques, lighting and photography of the model can be found on the project blog.

All pictures have been taken in a professional studio and can be seen in this Flickr album.

I have edited a short presentation video showing the model pictures alongside the visualizations of the actual building.

The 360 degree visualization at the end of the video can also be found on this link (click the image to see the model rotate). I cannot find a way to embed this in this post (?)

The model features light from BrickStuff.com, see the project blog for more details.

The inner garden is best seen from this angle

I am quite pleased with the final outcome of this model. I would love to hear your comments. Thanks.

It's a lovely MOC, especially when lit up. And fully deserving of its place at the exhibition.

Although I think that it is way too big to be compared to the official LEGO architecture range. If it was done in that range, I expect all windows would be changed from 2x2 to 1x1 profile to make it much smaller.

Nice :)
