If, like me, you’re a big fan of both LEGO and architecture, you’ve likely heard of — or even started collecting — the LEGO Architecture series, which features icons such as Villa Savoye, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater and Wright’s Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, Japan. For the hardcore architectural enthusiasts, however, we recently came across Arckit’s Architectural Model System, which doesn’t merely replicate a famous building, but enables the user to design and build his or her dream home.

According to the company, Arckit is “a freeform model building tool that allows architects and everyone to physically explore designs and bring their projects to life.” The interconnecting components are easy enough for children to use, do not require the use of glue and are completely modular, so it’s possible to create a diverse range of scaled structures. Each completed structure can then be used as a decorative object or better yet, as an actual working model for professional architects and amateur designers alike.
