As kids, all of us have marveled over colourful plastic bricks and built a dream house of our imaginations out of it. No points for guessing here- yes, we are talking about Lego Homes.
If living in a real-life Lego home has ever been your fantasy, your dream can actually come true. These homes can be ordered, designed, and constructed in about one month. As astonishing as it sounds – you can customise your home from stackable blocks.
You would not have ever imagined that homes could be built in factories and ordered online like FMCG products. Lego Homes, also called prefabricated homes, are built in factories and then delivered in trucks to the assembling site. The home reaches the site with a specialised construction team and building instructions.
Completely Customisable – Make It the Way You Want
Completely customisable, your Lego Home can be whatever you want it to be, a small cozy lodge, a spacious two-storey house, or an open office.
Assembling of these prefabricated homes is more like building Lego Homes. Made up of recyclable wooden panels the walls and insulation blocks are firmly snapped together in metal brackets. Neither nails nor screws are needed for assembling the homes.

Hot Tip – You can change the set-up of these houses whenever you want. Like if you want to add a third floor in your two-storey building, you can remove the roof and add a pre-fabricated block to create a third floor.
Sustainable Architeture of Lego Homes
These homes are constructed with wood, metal and insulation. What makes the difference here is the way it’s all manufactured, monitored and assembled. These homes follow a sustainable architecture movement that creates energy-efficient, well-designed homes at less cost.
The entire house is powered by solar panels where the inside environment is made warm, carbon-neutral, and comfortable with software and sensors. An experienced construction team can build these homes in just a few days. Moreover, they can also be disassembled as easily.
The prefabricated homes serve the purpose of affordable housing in densely populated urban areas. Its affordability and customising ability stand out in comparison to the conventional home construction.
Fascinating Fact- Lego Homes is a good concept to build cheaper homes at a large scale. The concept is gaining popularity in the United Sates to mitigate the affordable housing crisis and inhabitate a large number of middle-class people suffering the brunt of high cost of living.
