LEGO House
From the Luxology Community Member Profile for Barnaby Cunning:

The LEGO House was a full-sized house built in the summer of 2009 using approximately 3.5 million regular LEGO bricks as part of James May’s Toy Stories, a television series produced by Plum Pictures for the BBC.

According to Barnaby Gunning, the designer of the house:

I was approached by Plum Pictures, the production company for the entire series, after they had already ordered the LEGO for the house but before that had actually received any of it. So that I could get moving on the design as quickly as possible I made a quick virtual LEGO set in modo and used this to build models of basic components that could be made up using several hundred LEGO pieces each. modo made it easy for me to explain how these should be made so that we could get prototype components made for testing and so that we could get the general public to make them in their thousands.

modo 401 1-year license is available at an educational discount price of $139.
