TORONTO – A Seattle-based architect is being praised for incorporating his passion for LEGO into an impressive basement remodel after video showcasing the final product went viral.
Jeffrey Pelletier is a licensed architect, principal and owner of BOARDandVELLUM, who also happens to own a brightly-coloured home on 15th Avenue East in Seattle, Washington.
He also loves LEGO… a lot.
“Since I was a little kid, I’ve always loved LEGO,” he told Houzz, a website dedicated to home design. “It’s probably the reason I’m an architect now — it just inspired me.”
During a 2013 remodel of the home, Pelletier built a space able to store his monstrous LEGO collection – close to a quarter-million pieces.
Custom-built shelves line a room decorated with container upon container filled with pieces of seemingly every colour, shape and variety.
Eyebrow-raising video showcasing the finished product was published last week by HouzzTV on YouTube and has been watched over 400,000 times at the time of this writing.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg for would-be decorators.
If you happen to love what Pelletier’s done with his basement, you might enjoy the rest of his home as well. A tour of the rest of his abode can also be found on YouTube.
