A Real-Life Lego House?
Written by Beth Flanagan
When Lego came out with their cool, snap-together plastic building blocks and started the kids’ Lego revolution, they weren’t talking about real houses. But James May, producer and co-host of Britain television’s show Top Gear, took it quite literally.
Inspired over a couple brewskis and deep conversation about what he and his buddies would have built as kids if they’d had an unlimited supply of Legos, May decided to do what any grown-up boy would: build a gigantic, two-story funhouse.
The house is situated on England’s largest vineyard at the beautiful Denbies Wine Estate near Dorking, Surrey. And with the roughly 300,000 visitors pouring in each year, I’m certain this project will cause quite a stir.
The greatest part of all? He plans to move in as soon as it’s finished.
May’s inner child must have held a hostile takeover, as he now plans to build a Lego toilet and Lego furniture. Total projected colorful Lego blocks: an easy three million. I must admit, I think this guy brings out the kid in all of us.
Will it pass building code? Probably not. Will it be fun to live in? Most definitely.

Wow! This will create loads of interest from onlookers. The colors will look fabulous amongst the local shrubs and fauna. I am looking forward t oseeing the inside of the home.
wwwwwwooooooooowwwwwwwwww im surprised anyone would do that its really really cool but its also a wast of money i would have a hard time deciding if i should pay that much money just to build it. it would be really funny if he uses lego plates, cups, forck and ect.
i just have to say this again im so shocked that, that guy would even do that i would spend my money a lot better than that i would spend it on anything i would want heres a list:
-ds xl
-habbo prepaid cards
-save some money for food and hygien stuff
-buy any game console i can get my hands on
-buy every game i like for the game consoles
-ect. that i cant think of rights now
What an amazing sight this would be. I will not be surprised if we hear of this building from many web sites. It is interesting to say the least.
