Starting out strong with the set I’ve wanted since it was released: Rivendell. This iconic castle from the wildly popular Lord of the Rings adaptations is one of LEGO’s most detailed sets. Beyond being visually stunning, it’s full of unique architectural features and layers of interior elements that make it perfect for design and fantasy lovers alike.
The iconic A-frame cabin set is a must for any architecture enthusiast. Popularized in the post-WWII housing boom, the A-frame is an American classic. This set is full of fun design details—just look at the pieces in the kitchen!—that make it perfect for interiors lovers as well.
Perfect for littles, this greenhouse is another favorite. The clear dome is unique, making it a fun, out-of-the-box choice for design fans. The details inside and the scale of the bricks make it an approachable first set for those just getting into LEGO.
The exterior of this build is charming, but it’s the inside that makes it a must-have for the design-obsessed. Each floor of the building—there are three—has its own unique story, making for a dynamic and fun build. Get it for the antiques lover or Anglophile in your life! They’ll love all the fun details and slight Victorian twist.
The London Skyline kit, part of LEGO’s “Architecture” collection, is a great beginner set. The chunkier pieces make for an accessible build while still showing off a variety of shapes and construction techniques. I recommend trying one of these smaller sets before taking on the much larger ones that make up the majority of LEGO’s “Architecture” line.
LEGO’s Tree House build is just plain fun. There are over 3,000 pieces in this set, many of them small, making it a great option for those looking to take on a larger project that still feels manageable.
At just under $80, this is one of LEGO’s more affordable adult building sets. The flat back makes it a great display piece for a bookshelf, though it doesn’t leave a ton of room for interior details. This is a great kit for beginners or those on a budget who want to enjoy a layered build without breaking the bank.
