Got something in mind? We design, source and build original LEGO® brick artworks on commission — for special occasions, milestones, anniversaries, gifts, offices, or that awkward empty spot on the mantelpiece. Every commission is a true one-off — designed and built entirely by hand, with real care and an eye for the details.
Anything that can be built from bricks — plus plenty of things you'd swear couldn't be. Here are the briefs we take on most often.
The house you got married in. The street you grew up on. The skyline your partner crossed the world to leave. A piece that captures a year, a place or a person in something solid enough to sit on a shelf and outlast the occasion.
From a photograph, a memory or a set of plans: a small-scale brick portrait of a building that matters to you. Micro and trophy scales fit a shelf; larger pieces command the foyer.
Trophy-scale pieces for the lobby, the boardroom, or a leaving gift nobody else at the office will think of. Long-service tributes, brand portraits, milestone numbers rendered in brick.
A bespoke dungeon, tavern, ship or city block built at minifigure scale for your own table. Modular, swappable, designed to be played on — not just photographed.
A brick portrait of a place a loved one cared about, or a small build that holds a memory — designed in close, careful consultation. Always quietly handled, never rushed.
Our favourite briefs are the ones we've never had before. If it can be designed, sourced, built and posted, we're all ears. Send the idea — and we'll tell you, honestly, whether we can do it justice.
Four simple steps, dependable as a brick. You only say yes to the build once you've seen the design and the quote — no surprises.
Let's chat — by email, or over a coffee at the studio. You tell us what you'd love, who it's for, what scale and what space. Within a few days you'll have a written brief, a sketch, and a fixed-price quote with a timeline.
Happy with the quote? We move to design in BrickLink Studio, and you'll see digital renders before a single brick is ordered. We keep tweaking until the piece is unmistakably yours.
We source every part the long honest way — BrickLink and authorised LEGO® retailers, no clones, no shortcuts. The build happens on the bench in Brunswick, with progress photographs at milestones if you'd like to watch from afar.
Hand-delivered in metro Melbourne, or packed and freight-insured anywhere in Australia. The piece arrives with a parts list, a build photograph, and a small folded card with its story.
Rough starting points, not fixed prices — every commission is quoted to the brief. A quote has two parts: the design & build fee below, plus the LEGO® bricks at cost with a 15% sourcing & management fee on the parts. Tell us the idea and we'll come back with a real figure.
Single-subject pieces — a building, a vehicle, a portrait, a small landscape — sized for a shelf or a desk.
+ bricks ≈ $50–$160 at cost, plus 15% sourcing. Indicative only.
Detailed architectural portraits, multi-element dioramas, sets of related pieces, custom tabletop modules.

Statement pieces for lobbies, foyers, or once-in-a-lifetime gifts. Large-format, structurally engineered, designed to outlast the wallpaper.
+ bricks ≈ $700–$1,500+ at cost, plus 15% sourcing. Indicative only.
We source from BrickLink, Rebrickable suppliers and authorised LEGO® retailers (as an independent buyer, not an authorised LEGO® reseller), and we keep the full parts list on file. Your piece is built from genuine LEGO® bricks — and provably so, which we're always happy to show the curious and the sceptical alike.

Tell us the story, the occasion or the brief. Within a day we'll come back with a few first questions, a sketch direction, and an honest sense of whether it's a piece we'd build brilliantly for you.
