According to Ingels, the idea for the LEGO
®
House was
to create “a cloud of interlocking LEGO bricks... a literal
manifestation of the infinite possibilities of the LEGO brick.”
21 white bricks would be stacked on top of each other and
be crowned by the Keystone, which would be inspired by
the classic eight-knob LEGO brick.
These huge bricks will not only form internal spaces for
LEGO House activities, but also create a covered public
square and a series of interconnected terraces and
playgrounds for people to investigate and enjoy. In this
way, the LEGO House will be enjoyed both by fans who
came to experience the LEGO story and by local citizens
and visitors to the town of Billund.
