Lego House is a 12,000-square metre building filled with 25 million Lego bricks in Billund, Denmark, located near Legoland and the headquarters of The Lego Group. It is also known as Home of the Brick with reference to Billund, where Lego originates. Visitors can experience a variety of activities during their visit, including physically and digitally building with Lego bricks, programming robots and animating models. The centre's visitor experience includes four experience zones, two exhibitions and the Lego Museum, which showcases the history of the Lego brand and company. Lego House has been recognised for its innovative design, which aimed to reflect the Lego brand. The building incorporates 21 staggered blocks that resemble Lego bricks, with nine roof terraces containing children's play areas. The house was designed by the Bjarke Ingels Group and was inaugurated on 28 September 2017. The building is owned and maintained by Lego System A/S. Lego House was designed to resemble a pile of 21 white Lego bricks that have been built on top of each other. The building consists of a series of interconnecting modular spaces, which house the exhibition and experience areas for visitors. The entire construction consists of 8,500m² above ground and 3,400m² of basement space. The modular spaces can be visited by the use of a series of stairways, ramps and bridges, however, each was designed to be used independently. In 2017, Danish architect, Bjarke Ingels explained his vision for the building's unique design. Although the building appears to resemble a pile of interlocking bricks, the complete design was entirely systematic. The original design of the building took inspiration directly from the Lego brick itself. Ingels explained how the proportions of the Lego brick provide a golden ratio in architecture and have therefore been used throughout the entire building. Many features of the building's architecture incorporate the standard design elements of the Lego brick. The modular spaces were built with the exact proportions of a Lego brick, while the white tiles that cover the building also have the proportions of a classic 2x4 brick. In addition, the porthole skylights in the roof of the Keystone Gallery, which sits on top of the entire structure, are circular to mimic eight studs on the top of a Lego brick, and radiate eight beams of light to welcome visitors. The roof terraces were also painted in bright colours to mimic the bright colours of Lego bricks.
