I think it's such a shame that this amazing house, made entirely from Lego, is going to be hacked to pieces with chainsaws if nobody wants to give the home a new home. Around 1,000 volunteers built the 20ft house for James May's new BBC TV Show 'Jame's May's Toy Stories, but the land on which it is built is now needed back by the owner's. The house is free for anyone who wants to pay for it to be moved to their own land but, being made form around 3.3 million plastic lego bricks it probably weighs a few tonnes!
The house is big enough for fully grown adults to live in comfortably...except everything is made from lego.
The house comes with a fully fitted kitchen and utensils, although using them might be a challenge and also a bathroom with working taps and basin. The house looks like it would be a delight to visit and have a look around and it seems such a waste for it to be knocked down - especially a waste of plastic that will end up in land fill. It must also be a great architechtural achievement- the first bulding made entirely from plastic blocks that require no adhesives, and it looks great too. Much more interesting than clay bricks. I hope someone can give the home a new home and enjoy it.
I think nobody would obviously want to live in it but I am surprised no architects have snapped this up or even museum curators how fab would this be to nosy in!
ReplyDeleteIt would also make a great tv set!! Shame though. Very interesting.
