antp Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 (edited) Last summer I bought on Amazon the Friends set 41379 for sale (damaged box) as its style was rather "neutral", easy to integrated among other buildings. I made the bottom floor in January, but I finished the building only recently: I was out of ideas for the upper floor, and anyway busy with other things. Here is the result, now that it can be shown: I had to enlarge the roofs, so I added a few orange parts to the orange/red/purple ones from the original set (as I had many of these in orange). I placed it on a corner where there was not enough space for an official modular. Here it is the equivalent of a modular on a 40x18 basis. Along the train track, the wall is simple. For the front, the idea of climbing plants came because I only had 4 arches for the windows, I had to fill the rest of the wall... I'm satisfied with that, it looks much better than if I used only arches for the whole wall. I started with the entrance, built in mirror: The white edge on the ground is attached with a bracket, which blocks a tile of the sidewalk, so I placed the tile early: ... but I miscalculated its position, it ended up with a 1-stud offset It is well stuck there The inside of the ground floor: The chef is the one that we get at the Lego House: https://brickset.com/sets/40394-1/LEGO-House-Chef (received from a friend who went to Legoland) The stove is vintage, from old parts of my childhood. I added a small reception desk at the entrance. I kept the toilets under the stair, but the pizza oven was moved to the back of the building (connected to the kitchen) On the garden side, the buffet can be filled with vegetables from the modular building next door: I still have to find how to fill the space between the Corner Garage and the train track...

Withacee Posted June 7, 2022 Posted June 7, 2022 Great idea, and well executed! Fits in brilliantly. Might try this myself in some form or another, too. Quote
