LEGO House Master Builder Stuart Harris Leaving Company in January 2026

September 18, 2025 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

In some rather shocking news that came out a few days ago, LEGO House Master Builder Stuart Harris has announced that he will be leaving his role in January 2026. Announced on his LinkedIn, Stuart will be leaving the company early next year which included 12 years at The LEGO House and 22 years total at The LEGO Group.

If you’ve attended the LEGO Inside Tour, Stuart was a mainstay over the years and has also had a hand in designing some of the LEGO House exclusives such as The Wooden Duck (40501), A Minifigure Tribute (40504), and this year’s LEGO Fabuland Tribute (40506).

But after 22 years with the LEGO Group including the last 12 at the LEGO House my time as a Master Builder there has come to an end. Being part of the original small design team back in 2013 developing all the guest experiences and some of the most spectacular models the LEGO Group has ever made it’s gratifying to see how much unleashed creativity and joy they bring to thousands of guests every year demonstrating the endless possibilities of the LEGO Brick

I will be working for LEGO House until the end of January 2026. So you know the drill dear network any interesting opportunities or leads* where I can bring some creativity, humour, and storytelling let me know!
