MOC: Old Office Building

[MdrnMrvls]

This is an office building containing three floors, a barber, a real-estate business, and a clothing store. The build used up the rest of my useful brown bricks, which was quite a pain, but I got it to all work out fine.

Hope you enjoy! And, as always, please visit my Brickshelf gallery (when public) and Flickr for more photos.

Thanks!

Great job. Very well designed, however I like the detail on the hardware store more than the simplicity of the model.

I also like the "sunken-in" windows and front/ side section (where the door is). Keep up the good work.

Great! Simple design but with nice details. I also like the clothes store in the interior

Thanks guys! I'm glad that you like it.

I like buildings like this because they are more realistic to an actual city. Is this modular because i feel like it would work well with the other modular buildings.

It's kind of a different design compared to the regular CC type buildings. I built the facade first then I added the floors in, so now it is only the floors that come off. It's not really modular, but I could make it so, because even though the floors are the same, the plates beneath these holding them together are in different places, so it would not match up. I could have made it modular, but my supply of brown tile plates is very low.

Great stuff- the mixing of the old and new browns works quite well I think, and I love the simplicity (yet interesting subtle details).

I really want to build City again.

And thank you Hinckley! I really appreciate it.

The sunken windows are very cute. The bus stop is a lovely touch, too!
