2016 holiday plans: sorted!

Lego have unveiled the concept art and laid the first bricks for the Lego Experience House in Denmark. I adore the design. It’s blocky and bright and makes some good building-block references without being obsessively Lego-themed.

A building made of stacked white blocks with coloured courtyards on the top of each block. The top block has eight holes in two rows down the block, in the style of a lego block.

This is the first place to make my travel list before it’s built.

The most fantastical playgrounds ever built

Never mind being a kid! The parkour practitioner in me wants to be all over these, especially the Spire Playground and the Rainbow Nest.
