Lego house

We've all built lego houses when we were kids. This guy went a bit farther.

Very poor level of detail at that link

Dude, I know you didn't just diss dar's link!

Yeah, the details are really lacking. I can surmise from the pictures that it's not really a house that you would live in. It is built upon temporary staging in a vineyard. My theory is that it is there as an attraction to lure more people out to the vineyard to buy wine. Much like apple orchards and farms have hay rides and corn mazes. At first I was disappointed that they don't show it with a roof, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is supposed to be that way. Also, I bet that huge door never closes. It also appears to have no plumbing or wiring.

So I just Googled it and see that it's staged for a tv special being done by the guy from Top Gear. He plans to "live" in it for some amount of time.

Would've looked cooler with a brick and mortar design. Not much demand for rainbow housing.

I wanted to see a complete house, with utilities and everything, but with legos (which you're not supposed to call them) substituted for bricks and sheetrock.

It's going to have a legos bathroom.
