Take a truly technicolour tour of one of the most remarkable construction projects of 2009 in all its architectural glory. British broadcaster, writer and toy 'nut-case' James May lived a childhood dream by designing, building and sleeping in a quite stunning full-size house inspired by and completely made from LEGO, one of the world's most favourite toys and a design icon in its own right. James May's "Lego House" provides a complete photographic record of this stunning creation which now proudly holds the Guinness World Record for the largest free-standing LEGO structure. However, this is not a simple recreation of a childhood vision of a house but is fully informed by the 'simple complexity' of LEGO's design philosophy centring around the basic 'eighter' brick. Indeed, 3.3 million LEGO elements were used exclusively to create the two-storey house and its incredible fittings that range from a washing machine, furniture, cat and mouse, bed and bedding and fully functioning shower and toilet.

Great coffee table book for the adult fans of lego. I read this before I saw the TV program that it was adapted from and absolutly love the way it has been put together. The pictures are great and it really gets your imagination thinking about lego and how you played with it as a child. Lets face it, once you read this book will probable go out and buy a lego set just so you can play again.
This book makes a fun reminder of the lego house which has sadly now been dismantled. It's a great little coffee table book to have lying around, that you can pick up and browse through every now and again and have the lego house bring a smile to your face. I'd suggest this as a slightly quirky gift for a lego loving adult, or for anyone who grew up with lego. It would also be suitable for older kids - even if they may only look at the pictures.
