MOC modular book store

[alois]

After designing and building three modular buildings for my Lego-street, I decided it was time to cut a corner and make a corner building.

Café corner, a set I don't own, came instantly to my mind and I borrowed the turntable technique from this set. I wanted the building to

blend in with my other houses, so it had to be at least partly tan, but because I had a lot of yellow bricks, I decided to make it a

combination of yellow, tan and grey.

The corner ond the second and third floor is round, and ends in a turret. It was quite a challenge to get the desired shape.

Then I had to decide what kind of building it was going to be. Firstly, I thought of a post office, but because this is a rather overused

theme I in the end decided upon a book store. But when you look closely, you can see that the building has in fact been a post office in the past.

The interior of the first floor is furnished with book shelves, a counter and a reading table.

The other floors don't have furnishings yet.

So this is my street so far:

I hope you like it. More images here.

Excellent modular building you have there 'alois' !

The interior is great as well, with an original design for a cash register....I normally just use a keypad 2x1 slope with some trimmings !

The yellow on the second storey is perfect, Brick On 'alois' !

I'm personally not very fond of the colour choices here, as I don't think yellow mixes very well with tan. The overall design, though, is great, and works very well with your Green Grocer. Good job on that!

Overall, your street is very nice. I have to say that I'm intrigued by that tan building on the left, the one with the small tower and Dutch flag. I'd love to see some more of that - have you posted some pictures of it elsewhere?

Top job, alois.

I guess it's a subjective thing because I think the yellow works fine with the beige.

:classic:

I like it! Only one suggestion: Please add a color or two at roof part to make it pop or make this bookstore modular building stand out. However, great job, Alois.

Very well done modular corner book store alois! I really like the unique combination of tan-yellow with the darker shades of grey and black. The exterior architecture is simply wonderful and is very consistent with the rest of your modular buildings. Outstanding work!

Mooi gebouwd Alois... strak werk! Binnenkant is ook leuk hoor, met die boekenkasten! Leuk om hier ook nederlanders te zien!!

Groeten, LegoSjaak

Very nice building alois. The facade modeling and color is great. The detailed interior is nice too, with its tiled floor and bookshelf. That’s a nice street you have there.

Well done, the interior and book shelves are quite clever, and I too think that the yellow and tan blend quite nicely! Good work on this creation mate, and keep brickin'!

Very nice. I like the first line of yellow slops at the base of the second floor.

The rounded corner with the turret looks great, and so does the whole building.
