Thousands of people answered British television presenter James May’s call for help building a two-story house entirely out of LEGO bricks Dorking, UK. May said once it was completed he intended to live in the temporary construction for a few days.
He said: ‘I’m planning to stay there for two or three days, or until it falls down – whichever is sooner. I’m pretty relaxed about it, but will just have to be careful moving around.’
The life-size house uses over three million bricks and features a staircase, toilet and shower.
‘This two-story Lego palace, which resides in the middle of a vineyard, sports a working bathroom, and is covered inside and out with bricks pieced together by 272 LEGOs. Over three million bricks were used to build the LEGO pad, so doing some quick math here – that’s over 816 million Lego pieces!’
The LEGO house is the latest toy challenge that James May has undertook as part of his BBC series ‘James May’s Toy Stories’. Other projects included the world’s first ‘Plasticine Garden‘, which won the people’s choice award at the Chelsea Flower Show, and the world’s largest model plane. The show also created a scalextric version of the brooklands 2.75-mile racetrack in Weybridge.
Awesome- they must have worked for days to do this.
I know the little houses from LEGOLAND in Denmark, where they built the London Tower and other monumental buildings as miniature with these LEGO bricks.
I never though you could build a real big house of these LEGO bricks.
