Ten years later, The LEGO Group is revisiting one of the first great models in the LEGO Architecture series. Let’s see if this interpretation improves on the popular 2010 version.

I’m disappointed and confused as to why they are releasing the set two months later in the country where the building is located than elsewhere in the world. I’m not alone—this has already led to confusion and anger amongst many LEGO Architecture enthusiasts who aren’t able to get the set while friends in Europe and Asia can buy it.

The bottom of the box is white, matching the slender white band across the front.

This is the first LEGO Architecture set with the new Adult-oriented packaging design and 18+ recommended age. In a recent article, we discussed the New design for adult-focused LEGO products. While this is a significant departure from the all-black box of previous sets in the series, I am pleased to report that it is still a premium box with the same recloseable flap design as previous sets in the series.

Suffice to say, I was already a bit disappointed by the new model due to the poor proportions of the front facade before getting started, but was excited to see if the addition of the East and West Wing make up for this problem. Let’s find out…

The box contains the usual goodies: an instruction manual, four loose 8×16 Plates (part 92438) in 141 Earth Green Dark Green , and numerous bags numbered for stages 1-5.

I noticed that my instruction booklet was damaged, even though the box was in perfect condition. I suspect that this is caused by the large plates which are not packed in a separate bag. (It didn’t help that the DHL driver threw the box onto my porch.)

The box contains 5 numbered stages, four 8×16 plates, and the instruction booklet.

Stage 1 contains one large bag (marked with code 413H0) and one medium bag (with no code).
Stage 2 contains one large bag, one medium bag, and one small bag (with no codes).
Stage 3 contains one large bag, and one small bag (with no codes).
Stage 4 contains one large bag (code 313H0), and one medium bag (with no code).
Stage 5 contains one large bag (code 413H0), and one medium bag (with no code).

Because the model features three distinct sections, we will break the review into stages: Executive Residence, East Wing, and West Wing.

Executive Residence

Immediately before getting started, the instruction booklet introduces the iconic central portion of this model as “A Grand Mansion”, noting that it is built in a Neoclassical Federal architectural style, which is heavily influenced by classical Greek architecture. In a modern context, this central portion of the White House complex is referred to as the Executive Residence, because it is the home of the President and his (or one day, her) family.

Bag 1

The first bag begins more-or-less as I expected, by assembling the familiar base for sets in the LEGO Architecture series comprised of one layer of black plate, with a one-stud border of black tile (including the iconic printed nameplate), with a third layer on top of that.

Usually, the third layer is mostly covered in tile, except where the building will appear. For this model, the entire third layer is covered with 141 Earth Green Dark Green plate, which results in lots of visible studs in the finished model. Because we spent less time on the base than many other sets in the series, we jumped right into assembling the building’s foundation, which uses 1×2 masonry bricks to good effect.

The base and foundation.

After building the base and foundation, we build the walls on either end, which include windows that you need to carefully re-create using three 1×1 trans-black plates. (I am not sure if they chose to use three plates instead of one brick to more faithfully re-create traditional windows made with smaller pieces of glass, or to increase the part count without increasing the manufacturing cost very much.) The ends are topped with a cleverly designed SNOT assembly that re-creates the arched window on each end.

The north side of the building uses two large SNOT assemblies.

Now we move on to the north side of the building, which is built using two huge SNOT assemblies, that cleverly utilize 1×1 w/ clip, horizontal to re-create fine horizontal detailing in between the first and second story windows.

Build time: 30 minutes.

Bag 2

We begin the second bag by assembling a similar large SNOT assembly for the first and second floor windows on the south side of the building. The only difference on this side is that a pair of SNOT brackets are included in these assemblies, which are centered in the front of the building.

Attaching the rectangular portico is tricky, because it’s hard to get the columns to line up.

The problem is exacerbated by the fact that along the bottom, some of the 1×1 w/ Hole pieces are attached to normal studs and some are attached to 1×2 jumper plates. The bar slides further down when attached to the jumper (since a jumper has a hollow stud) than when it’s attached to a normal stud (with the word ‘LEGO’ on neach raised stud). Attaching the pediment on top of these wobbly columns is needlessly difficult.

Getting ready to install the roof assembly.

Next, we built a pretty straightforward roof assembly, using similar slopes and fence elements to the earlier 2010 version of the White House. The one big upgrade which we highlighted in our earlier preview of this set is that the chimneys still use 1×1 bricks, but they are inverted which makes the chimney appear hollow when viewed from the top.

Progress at the end of Bag 2.

The final section of this bag assembles the base and columns for the round South Portico that faces the National Mall. The base uses some nice SNOT techniques, and the columns use the same Bar 4L elements used on the other side.

Build time: 35 minutes.

Bag 3

There are only two small bags for stage 3. That makes sense since all that appears to be remaining is the roof of the South Portico, and the landscaping. One thing that I really dislike is that the curved driveway is placed on top of the grass, instead of being flush with level of the grass. This is in contrast to almost every other set in the LEGO Architecture series, which has relatively few visible studs on horizontal surfaces.

Executive Residence, complete with landscaping.

By contrast, the large trees are absolutely delightful, constructed using five 6-Stem w/ Bar (part 19119), which means that each tree has 30 1×1 Flower, 5-petals (part 24866) in 28 Dark Green Green . This creates a very nice, very full deciduous tree on either side of the South Portico.

Build time: 15 minutes.

Bag 4 – East Wing

After completing the Executive Residence, we move on to the East Wing of The White House. The first East Wing was built in 1902, although it was razed and replaced by the current building (and an underground shelter) in 1942.

I need to note that there is a serious error in the instructional booklet—the introductory description and aerial photographs of the East and West Wing are reversed! The East Wing introduction should be on page 84 (instead of page 127), and the West Wing introduction should be on page 127 (instead of page 84.)

The East Wing is smaller than the Executive Residence, so we complete it in just one stage of the build process. The model is carefully designed so the East and West Wing can be removed at any time—this allows us to build the entire East Wing as a separate module, and attach it to the Executive Residence at the end.

You can see lots of SNOT techniques are visible before putting the roof on.

As for the building process, I’m pleased to report that it is a pretty straightforward but satisfying build. The building’s more restrained architectural style is accurately reflected through the use of more SNOT assemblies, which allow the windows to be recessed ½ stud from the buildings exterior profile. At the end, we add some more landscaping features to soften the finished model.

The East Wing can be attached and removed from the Executive Residence.

Build time: 30 minutes.

Bag 5 – West Wing

In the last stage of the build process, we get to build the West Wing. Again, this section of the model is built as a separate module, which is connected to the Executive Residence by the West Colonnade.

The building techniques are very similar to what we just saw in the East Wing, with 2-stud tall SNOT assemblies slotted into bays on all four sides of the building. The biggest difference is that they also needed to approximate the shape of the Oval Office, which they achieved using 30° 1×1 Slope (part 54200) in 111 Transparent Brown Trans-Black .

There are also lots of SNOT techniques in the West Wing.

The West Wing includes the Oval Office.

Again, the roof technique is similar to that of the other wing, utilizing 2×2 jumper plates to create a ½ stud offset between the black sloped portion of the roof, and the white cornice that it sits on. We wrap up the model by adding a few more landscaping details.

Build time: 40 minutes.

While certain LEGO Architecture sets (like this one) offer a lot of tiny pieces for a very good price-per-part, these sets almost never introduce completely new parts, and rarely introduce an existing part in a new color. This set does include one existing part in a popular color, and two new printed tiles.

New printed parts:

Existing parts in new colors:

13x – 1×2 Plate, Round (part 35480) in 28 Dark Green Green .

Label for part 35480 is included in LEGO Brick Labels.

Let’s be honest, this release comes at a weird time in American History. As we speak, the Black Lives Matter protests have swept the nation, despite the backdrop of a global pandemic and the most polarizing presidency in history.

We also can’t ignore The LEGO Group’s misguided decision to release a model featuring an iconic US Landmark to a domestic audience two months later than it was released in Europe and Asia. This has caused a lot of confusion and anger from Americans who want to build the brand new set while stuck at home.

On the other hand, I really do not like the aesthetic choices for the landscaping. There are a lot of visible studs, and the fact that the driveways and pathways are one stud higher than the grass looks really weird. Most of all, incorrect proportions for the front façade of the Executive Residence are a huge problem of this version.

This set is a mixed bag, with many highlights and many lowlights. It is hard to excuse the poor proportions of the Executive Residence, especially when the earlier 2010 model was almost perfect in this regard. As a whole, the set earns our “Good” (3/5 star) rating. It’s saved from an even lower rating because the finished model is nicely detailed, has a pleasing overall composition, and offers a good value.

Have you considered combining the 21006 White House with this set? I think it could interesting to combine the east and west wing with the old White House to get a more proportionally correct set.

Tom Alphin says:

That’s an interesting idea, but no, I haven’t tried it.

My main concern is that the level of detailing in the new model is higher due to more advanced techniques and newer parts. The difference might be enough to make the overall composition feel clumsy.

Well, my opinions about this remake in light of the, as you also said, good and still fitting existing set are known. But I have to give them that at least this remake is lightable easier than the older one without big modifications (though, you could make the older one lightable too by switching the black windows out for transparent and using the newer jumper version). It does look nice and the price is okay for the size, although I would still prefer the entire thing be smaller instead. The idea of having the middle section be able to stand alone is a neat gimmick, but who’s really going to do that, especially when that makes it even paler compared to the older set?

While the road sitting on top of the grass might be questionable, I generally prefer seeing studs on grass or earth and do that in my own builds too, even at this small scale. It helps to set apart the rougher nature from the sleak architecture. While I like the modern trend of SNOTing and tiling everything into shininess, we don’t need to be afraid to see some studs in a LEGO model when used more for aesthetic effect than a shortcoming of the design. And these huge trees are quite neat indeed.

As to the release, it generally all seems to be a bit effed up. Originally LEGO probably wanted to release it for the voting year as a marketing spin, but even though you have to probably expect somewhat of an odd spectacle with the specific political personell, they certainly didn’t expect things to blow up that wildly. So now their own political reasons for making the set in the first place are coming for them and they just don’t know what to do, other than postpone the US release and hope for things to calm down in two months.

Nice and detailed review. I bought the set on Tuesday in Cologne (Germany) and set it up directly. Overall, I think the set works well, even if it is only a new edition of the set 21006 from 2010. In my opinion, the development step of the new edition is smaller than that of the Empire State Building last year. The German Lego fan media said that the factory in Mexico was temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which may be the reason for the late release date of this set in North America. In addition, it was said that the other factories in Europe and Asia are currently absorbing these capacities, which is why new products are quickly sold out here or are quickly placed in the online shop for reordering. As I said, I like the set. Stay healthy and nice greetings from Germany.

Scale

Thankfully, it was easy to find the comparable dimensions of the real building: “168 feet (51.2 meters) long, 85 feet 6 inches (26.1 meters) wide without porticoes, and the faade (grade of lawn to parapet) is 60 feet on the south (lawn at 54 feet above sea level).”

Let’s calculate the scale:

What these calculations reveal is a fairly large discrepancy between the building height and depth in both versions of the model (1:408 based on depth, versus 1:298 based on height). Those proportions could be improved by either increasing the height of the model, or decreasing the depth of the model.

When it comes to the width of the model, I’m most concerned that it is close to the same scale as the height, since the model will typically be viewed from the front. Since the height results in a 1:298 scale, the 2010 version’s 1:267 scale (based on width) has more realistic proportions when viewed from the front.

Since the new version has a 1:400 scale based on width and a 1:408 scale based on depth, the “easiest” fix would have been to reduce the height of the building by 4 or 5 plates, resulting in a scale of 1:380 or 1:406 respectively. Naturally, it is easier said than done to preserve adequate detail when reducing the size of a LEGO Model. (Alternately, they could make the entire model larger to accomodate a wider and deeper central building.)

Parts & Building Techniques

As is typical of sets in the LEGO Architecture series, I do not see any new parts in the model. Ocassionally, we do see existing parts appearing in a new color, so we’ll have to wait and see when the set is released.

That said, I immediately noticed a new printed part: 1×2 Tile w/ USA Flag (part 3069). This is the first time the American flag is offered at this size, and will no doubt be popular with fans.

Two building techniques caught my eye that I want to highlight. The first is the extensive use of SNOT for the windows of all three buildings. Even the windows of the Oval Office are implemented using a SNOT assembly containing three plates and two Cheese wedges.

The second detail that made me smile were the chimneys, which appear to be White 1×1 Bricks which are upside-down. I’m not sure how they are attached internally, but I think we can all agree that this looks much better than the visible studs on original 2010 version.

Packaging

You also might have noticed a significant facelift to the packaging. We’re used to LEGO Architecture sets which come in an austere black box with a front flap. (We can’t tell from the rendered box art if we still get a box flap, or if they’ve abandonded it in favor of a cheaper box with end flaps.)

A new stylish packaging designed to reflect the sophisticated nature of the creative process.

Instead, we see a slender band of white bricks along the bottom of the box, containing facts about the set: recommended age | set number | part count. (This minimalist style debuted earlier in the year with three buildable Star Wars helmets.)

Speaking of which, this is the first set in the Architecture series targeting ages 18+ (every previous set in the LEGO Architecture series had a recommended age of 12+ or 16+). I do not think that this change reflects an increased degree of difficulty. Instead, it’s part of a 2020 branding plan to create sets and packaging targeting Adult Fans.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this sneak peek into an exciting upcoming LEGO Architecture set. We will be sure to share a detailed review of the set as soon as we can!

We have not one but two authors today: Miller Keys (@miller.keys) and Kaitlyn Lee (@ktlynl_) who, you will be charmed to learn, became a couple after meeting as rival contestants on LEGO® Masters Australia. We sent them 21054 The White House for review with the additional challenge of creating alternate builds from this 1483-piece set, which retails for £89.99/ US$99.99/ 97.47€.

LEGO® Architecture debuted onto the LEGO scene in 2008. Since then over 50 sets have been released, with two of those being models of The White House. The first – 21006 – in 2010, and more recently 21054 in 2020 which we are exploring today.

Compared to its 2010 predecessor, 21054 White House extends the model further from just the Executive Residence or “Residence Villa” out into both the East and West Wings. Additionally, the 2020 version is a little smaller in scale, and interestingly it uses a different side of the building as the front of the model. The newer version utilizes more advanced building techniques than those in the original set, which we will look deeper into in a moment.

Parts in 21054 White House

The White House does not come with a variety of new elements. However, it does come with a couple of recolours and surprising quantities of more common pieces. This may draw people towards the set who want large numbers of simple elements.

New colours

Plate Special 1 x 2 Rounded with 2 Open Studs in Dark Green/Green (6210271 | 35480) has since appeared in 2 more sets. This element is used to create microscale hedges alongside Tile 1 x 1 Half Circle in Green (6250600 | 35399).

Brick Special Arch 2 x 2 Corner in White (6300101 | 38585), originally released in Brick Yellow/ Tan in 71043 Hogwarts Castle. Unfortunately, the set only comes with two of this element. It is used alongside Brick Special Arch 1 x 2 Jumper in White (6278396 | 38583). It would have been great to have an additional two so that we could have at least made a square with it.

Also new for 2020 but appearing in 8 other sets is Plant, Flower 1 x 1 in Light Purple/Bright Pink (6212501 | 24866).

Printed Elements

Tile 1 x 8 with White House print in Black (6304835 | 68398). This is very similar to the Tile 1 x 8 with “The White House” print in Black (94031 | 4162) used in the original White House set; the only difference is the removal of “The” in the title.

Tile 1 x 2 with US Flag print in White (6304837 | 68399). This is a lovely addition, especially compared to the Plate Special 1 x 1 with Clip Horizontal in White (601901 | 6019) used in the 2010 set.

96 x Plant, Flower 1 x 1 in Green (6135287 | 24866).
96 x Plate 1 x 1 in Transparent Brown/Trans-Black (6252039 | 28554).
102 x Plate 1 x 2 in Trans-Black (6240219 | 28653).
10 x Panel 2 x 2 x 1 Corner in White (6181753 | 31959). A nice quantity of this element found in no other sets other than the exclusive 21037 LEGO House.
64 x Plate Special 1 x 2 with Door Rail in White (4249563 | 32028).

Most of these large quantities of pieces are used for repetitive elements of the building such as windows and foliage.

Building the LEGO White House set

The build of this set is fairly straightforward with a few interesting techniques. It includes five bags altogether, split into three sections.

The first three bags are dedicated to the main central section of the White House – the Residence Villa. There are some interesting techniques used here, especially involving the 5:2 rule in LEGO System. All of the windows are 1 x 2 Trans-Black plates built on their side and connected via a Brick Special 1 x 1 x 1 2/3 with Studs on 1 Side in White (6218841 | 32952). This is a heavily used technique throughout the model which does end up becoming quite repetitive and time consuming.

Bag 4 covers the East Wing of the building, though the instructions describe the West Wing. We enjoyed reading different facts about each section of the building in the instructions, even if they were in the wrong order. This error has been fixed in later production runs. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much in terms of interesting techniques which weren’t already used in the first three bags.

Bag 5 covers the West Wing. There are some fun techniques in this Wing, such as the SNOT built Oval Office in the front, as well as the use of Plate Special 1 x 2 [Side Handle Closed Ends] in White (4222017 | 48336) as Roman-style columns along the corridor to the Residence Villa.

Miller and Kaitlyn's MOCs using set 21054

Our first set of alternate builds are of modern, microscale residential buildings. For anyone planning on building a house out of LEGO or proper materials, this is a great way of translating thumbnail sketches into a 3D form to get an idea of what it could look like.

We wanted to see how many we could make out of the set’s parts without reusing any, while making each unique. Working at such a small scale was beneficial because there is only so much detail you are able to go into. Instead, we were able to focus on designing elegant silhouettes.

Some parts that were fun and a challenge to use in these builds were the 3 x 3 plates (due to their odd nature), and Slope 45° 1 x 1 x 2/3 Quadruple Convex in Transparent/ Trans-Clear (6252962 | 35343).

For the second alternate build, we decided to do a pool scene as many of the elements in the set lent themselves to that quite easily.

We felt it was important to use as many of the trans-black elements as possible as they are such a prominent part of the set. On another hand, the arch pieces already look very much like diving stands so that was a no-brainer. Finally, Kaitlyn added the lane ropes using the green rounded 1 x 2 plates. As you can see for this build, we added some extra elements to bring it to life in the form of minifigures and accessories.

Conclusion

Even though The White House build was quite repetitive in many aspects, it was still enjoyable to complete thanks to the SNOT techniques laced throughout. Despite not containing many new elements, we believe this set is worthwhile for those looking for large quantities of simple white and trans-black pieces.

Set Predictions

Set Facts

While there has been another Architecture White House, set 21006-1 in 2010, this is the first full scale set released that includes most of the White House complex including the Executive Residence, West Wing, East Wing, the Eisenhower Executive Office Building and Blair House, a guest residence.
This version of the White House compared to the original set 21006 includes much more detail due to more advanced building techniques used. However, the scale proportions of the 2020 version are significantly off from that of the 2010 version. The 2010 scale is about 1:267 scale while this version is 1:400 scale based on it's width.
The set ware released in Europe and Asia almost 2 moths before it was released in the United States.
This is the first LEGO Architecture set with the new adult-oriented packaging design and 18+ recommended age.

The White House Reviews

“ The builds are effective, clean, and rather clever. The addition of the small trees and hedges look good, and break up the white. I'm sure there are other issues that eagle eyed Architecture fans will point out, but for a novice Architecture builder, this set is quite cool. . More I learned something about the building, and it was an enjoyable build. If you were a fan of the first White House set, this will be worth picking up.”
