Lego's gigantic 'Lego House' has brick masterpieces and a secret vault — here's what it's like inside

In Billund, Denmark, the fantasy of inhabiting a Lego house has become reality.

Earlier this October, Lego unveiled its new Lego House — a 130,000-square-foot building that is equal parts experimentation lab, prototype testing grounds, and shrine to the colorful bricks.

Here's what it's like inside.

From the street, the building looks white. It's only from above that viewers can gaze upon the multi-colored roofs and outdoor seating.

In partnership with architecture firm Bjarke Ingels Group, which designed the structure, Lego began building the Lego House in 2014. Initially, it used as its model a small-scale replica made from (big surprise) Lego bricks.

The 1:100 model toured the world, stopping in places like Switzerland, France, and the US. It also visited BrickCon, one of the largestLego conventions in the world, in Seattle, Washington.

Even before you enter Lego House, the building dwarfs you as you climb atop the over-sized Lego bricks spanning opposing sides of the building.

Inside Lego House, visitors can tour multiple rooms meant to engage people emotionally, creatively, socially, and cognitively.

In the Green Zone, dedicated to socialization, visitors can create minifigures ("minifigs," for short) and stitch together their own stop-motion videos.

In the Yellow Zone, designed to explore emotions, people can build sea life from LEGO bricks and scan them into an iPad software setup to see the creature come alive.
