Lego Designs: The Abston Church of Christ

Abston Church of Christ

Designed and built over a year and a half as an architectural ode to the wonderful world of Lego, Amy Hughes’s seven foot tall Abston Church of Christ is a testament to the infinite possibilities of creation with limited construction materials. Whimsical in construction and spirit, Hughes dedicated her plastic place of worship to the cat she owned that enjoyed spending time inside the colossal building.

At just over 15 feet in length and comprising over 300,000 Lego bricks, the recreation of the Harry S. Truman carrier weighs about 350 pounds and is the first project its German creator had accomplished since his 20-year absence from the toy construction world. Besides being made by someone with the patience to assemble over 300,000 plastic blocks, one of the more impressive elements of the model is that it features electric lights and moveable radar dishes.

Constructed on commission for the advertising agency Boys and Girls, this modern table stands at 36 square feet and includes 22,742 Lego bricks snapped together and assembled without the aid of glue.

The Lego House

Lego House

Built with the help of over 1,000 volunteers and over three million Lego bricks, James May’s Lego House is considered one of the largest projects of its kind to ever be completed. According to May, the toy house even included a working shower and toilet.

Originally built so that it could be sent to the Legoland theme park in the United Kingdom, the Lego House was eventually demolished so that the bricks could be given to charity after Legoland decided the cost to transport it would be too high.
