the life-size house uses over three million bricks and features a staircase, toilet and shower. may said once it was completed he intended to live in the temporary construction for a few days.

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
I don’t think i could live there
wow, first automobile enthusiast, now toy man, is there anything he can’t do?!?!
what a dickwad…imagine how eco poisonous all those plastic bits of shite are…
that is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. And I’m not even kidding.
Pretty crazy.
Of course someone has always got to pull their eco bull crap.
Way to go james thats awesome.
You have got to know James and Hamond are going to do SOMETHING.
Funny, great, fantastic.
Lovely piece of art that any kid can play with
James is a freaking legend.
what a giant block of shit. gg’s england
so go so fun, i also want to go >.<
Amazinng, awesome, fascinating, incredible, shocking, surprising, wonderful!!!
time to grow up and be a f’ing man
What a shameless PR stunt, and a waste of a great concept. Think of what they could’ve made. Bad architecture, pure gimmick, and bad environmentally. A large plastic hemmoroid juxstaposed the green landscape.
news flash : GLOBAL WARMING! you think this helps?
for me its stupid,this cant be house for normal family ;]
It’s… wonderful ! May I book one room for me?
pPp
Utterly pointless. It can’t function as a house. It doesn’t look good. What exactly is the appeal of this project?
FAKE, suppose to be build ou of LEGO there is alot of wood. EVERYbody whit enough money can do this.
Sad. 10 points off
This is just for all of the pricks that are just bashing this. How about YOU make a house out of teeny tiny plastic pieces. AND. It’s JUST as hurtful as any stucco house to the environment. This is an amazing work! Be grateful that there are some people who are NOT stiff brats that can branch out and make something amazing. The end.
I think that if the lego was green and brown only, perhaps it would have been better for the environment. Hang on, brown lego doesn’t exist, does it?
Anyway, this is a great idea for job creation.
This is very gimmicky and poorly executed. I fail to see any innovation here as the legos act more as a cladding element, rather than forming any type of architecture. The same effect could have been achieved by painting the walls with stripes.
Also, the artist failed to utilize what legos are so great for, that is creating 8-bit geometries (think white stripes vid, or lego-land models), i’m not sure what the intentions here were. total waste of time and money on something completely uninteresting….
Shopped!!!
i can feel the pessimism oozing from you knuckleheads. destroy everything with your judgement. enjoy nothing. it is, afterall, what humans do best. you are fools
would live there for a few days?
waste of resources when there is so much real need in the world (one of those needs being real housing)
That’s not a toy, at all. Apart from color element no other playfulness revealed. An imaginary marketing extension of the original logo toy function. I dont want to imagine how is leaving in that plastic house under sun exposure.
WHATS NEXT? THE LEGO- CITY? (spooky-grandiose)
surprsing to see what all ppl do to be noticed. eco aside…what a waste of effort and time.
I like
Cool!
Nice one! And for those who think art is about ECO, what are you doing on the computer wasting electricity reading about this?????
Well you should just close your eyes and imagine an exciting life. Preferably somewhere else….
i saw it today
i live in dorking
its not as big as it looks
and theres a guard dog
james may is only there once a week
