LEGO House

Developed through a collaboration between BIG, Bjarke Ingels Group, and the LEGO Group, LEGO House is designed and built in the form of classic LEGO bricks, its vast exhibition spaces and public plazas embodying the cultural values at the core of the LEGO experience. Designed jointly by BIG and COWI, LEGO House will be an experience center for LEGO fans of all ages, while also becoming an architectural landmark and a significant step toward Billund's goal of becoming a Capital for Children. The 12,000-square-meter LEGO House began construction in 2014, replacing the former city hall building, and received support from three generations of the LEGO family and Billund Mayor Ib Kristensen. All activities at LEGO House are connected to our LEGO philosophy, promoting innovation and creativity through play, says the LEGO Group. Play runs through the entire DNA of the LEGO Group and is the true way of life at LEGO House. Everything from the experience zones and outdoor areas to the restaurants is based on the principles of play and creativity, so no matter what you do at LEGO House, you are engaging with the LEGO philosophy. The building's stacked, brick-like volumes create a playful yet sophisticated architectural form, with terraces and public spaces that invite exploration. Inside, themed zones allow visitors to build, experiment, and create, embodying the LEGO spirit of learning through play. LEGO House is both a tourist destination and a civic building, open to the public as a gathering place for the community of Billund.
