Toy storeys: James May and 1,000 helpers built the 20ft-tall Lego house on a wine estate in Surrey. Lego has also banned May from dismantling the structure and giving away the bricks, which the company donated for his forthcoming BBC show James May’s Toy Stories. May slept in the modern house on Friday night, on ‘the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever slept in’ – when he also discovered the house was not waterproof. May believes that an art gallery, a children’s home or a wealthy private collector might be interested in the house. Knocking it down is just wrong on every level. It’s a really lovely thing – it would break the hearts of the 1,000 people who worked like dogs to build it.via.

Top Gear presenter James May has just built the world’s first full-size Lego house – including a working toilet, hot shower and a very uncomfortable bed – using 3.3million plastic bricks. About 1,000 volunteers built the 20ft-tall house in Denbies Wine Estate in Dorking, Surrey – but now the vineyard needs the land back to harvest its grapes.

The only drawback is that this des res is made entirely out of Lego – and you’ll have to find somewhere to put it. Meanwhile, miffed Legoland managers criticised May for building the house without their help. He produced the the garden as part of his BBC 2 series James May’s Toy Stories, where he aimed to ‘get kids out of their bedrooms and away from their Playstations’.
