Step into Logan Perduk’s world, and you’ll quickly realize that for some, LEGO isn’t just a hobby—it’s a lifestyle. At 23 years old, Logan has managed to transform what began as a childhood fascination into a full-blown architectural art form, complete with a 400-square-foot studio that would make even Emmet from The LEGO Movie pause in awe.

“My love for LEGO started when I was around five,” Logan shares. “I remember being completely mesmerized by my dad’s old sets at my grandma’s house. It was like looking at time capsules in technicolor.” Fast forward nearly two decades, and those early bricks have multiplied into a collection of over half a million pieces, all meticulously sorted, displayed, and adored in what can only be described as a designer’s dream playroom.

Once just a humble bar and storage area, Logan’s LEGO room underwent a complete transformation in 2022, turning into a vibrant, purpose-built studio that reflects both his passion and precision.  “I wanted it to feel like a gallery—light, open, colorful. A place where the pieces paint the walls,” he explains. The result? A vibrant, ever-evolving LEGO sanctuary that’s as functional as it is fantastic.

And yes, he’s that guy with a 10,001-piece Eiffel Tower standing nearly five feet tall. “It took me three weeks to build, and it’s probably my most ambitious project so far,” Logan says proudly. Among his other favorites: the intricate Rivendell set from Lord of the Rings, the sprawling modular building series, and the colossal Colosseum. “I tend to gravitate toward builds that feel like art pieces. I love the ones you just want to stare at.”

Though many LEGO fans dabble in freeform building, Logan considers himself more of a set guy. “I have a massive backlog, but there’s no rush. For me, building is like therapy—it’s how I wind down at the end of the day.” Accompanied by music and mood lighting, his studio turns into a Zen retreat, one colorful brick at a time.

When he's not surrounded by LEGO, Logan works as an interior design assistant to Josette Kark—a role that blends surprisingly well with his plastic passion. “Design teaches me about function and form, and LEGO keeps me playful and open-minded,” he says. “Both help me create spaces—whether full-scale or micro-scale—that tell stories.”

Speaking of stories, Logan dreams of one day opening a LEGO gallery or museum that honors not just the sets, but the imagination behind them. “I want people to see the artistic value of LEGO. It’s not just a toy—it’s a creative medium, a nostalgic escape, and a celebration of design and innovation.”

His friends and family? 100% on board. “They’ve always been supportive. I think they get that it’s a big part of who I am.”

So what’s next for this LEGO maestro? Maybe a spot as an official LEGO brand ambassador. Maybe that gallery. Maybe just one more set before bedtime. But whatever it is, Logan’s building it—brick by beautiful brick.

And if you’re wondering what three LEGO sets he’d take to a desert island? Let’s just say, he’s still deciding. “As long as I’ve got something to build, I’m happy.”
