Toy giant LEGO has released a drone video of their under-construction visitor centre one month ahead of its opening. The LEGO House is rooted in the Danish town of Billund, the birthplace of the world-famous plastic construction toy. Here, prolific architect Bjarke Ingels has envisioned a three dimensional village of interlocking and overlapping bricks — 21 in total — that collectively evoke the brand's signature building blocks.

Plans for the dynamic facility have been underway since 2013, when BIG fist unveiled their concept for the development. As the camera flies above the site and captures all angles of the multi-faceted structure, it's clear that the aerial perspective plays a central role in the overall identity of the project. Crowning the building is a giant white brick, accessed by a side set of stairs, with eight circular apertures carved into the roof. Recalling the bumps used to lock one toy brick to the next, the holes have the more practical function of letting in natural daylight. 

The sides of each block are covered in white clay tiles, while the roofs are painted in the colours that represent LEGO's palette. The interlocking bricks create platforms for a series of outdoor activities, with LEGO-style furnishings accenting each space.
