Amazing Lego model of Fallingwater made with 15,000 bricks

Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater is one of the most famous works of architecture from the last 100 years. You will never be able to own it, unfortunately. But what you can do is build yourself an amazing 1:40 scale model out of Lego bricks. That's just what Matija Grguric did.

This amazing 45 x 30-inch model took seven months to build and is comprised of 15,000 bricks. It's not to be confused by the official Lego set of the same building, which is a fraction of the size and complexity.

It's currently on display at the Technical Museum in Zagreb, Croatia, if you happen to be around those parts in the near future. Or, if you're feeling particularly ambitious, you could always take a stab at building it yourself. It might seem like a serious challenge, but it'll be easier than building an actual replica of Fallingwater, won't it?
