[MOC] Assembly Square 10255 Alternate - Clock Cafe

[Fabulous Fox]

Hello!

This is my first form post to Eurobricks! 

I recently have been inspired by the architecture of many historic small towns/buildings in my area, and couldn't resist creating a Lego modular building. I figured the 10255 Assembly Square was a good candidate for a plethora of different parts to choose from, since I do not have my own collection sorted. So I created an alternate build! 

It features a quaint little coffee shop (high quality of course) on the left of the first floor, a popcorn shop with amazing smells on the right, an elegant architect's office on the second floor, and a historic clock tower on the top!

It was more lengthy of a process than I initially imagined, but it was worth it in the end, because I got to release that architectural energy! Also being a fan of all things coffee shops, I knew a coffee shop was the way to go. I based a lot of the architectural details on buildings I've seen in real life, but the buildings are not a direct copy. Initially, the popcorn shop was also supposed to have a second floor, but I quickly realized that Assembly Square did not have as many bricks a I thought, so I had to do one floor. I also think a tiny building on the left and right of the coffee shop/clock tower would have been interesting - like the 10278 Police Station - but I'm still satisfied with the result. The buildings cannot be separated as built here, but they are made to be easily modifiable to do so, like in the 10218 Pet Shop.

I'm a huge fan of arched windows and clocks on buildings - we as a society need to do that more. 

There are more detailed images in the link below, because Eurobricks has a small image size limit.

Let me know what you think!

Looks nice. Indeed assembly square has a good part count. Also like the interior, had a look on rebrickable.
