[LDD MOC] Bakery and Pension

[pbat]

I'm happy to present you my latest LDD MOC. Actually it's my first LDD MOC to be published here on Eurobricks.com: »Bakery and Pension«: Similar to the Hotel Sacher you can buy cake and confectionery on the ground floor, and have a coffee there, too. Upstairs is a sleep alcove with a red bed, two bedside cabinets and a large foliage plant. Vis-à-vis is a working corner with a desk, a swivel chair and a small bar. Between those two corners is a generous balcony. Big plastering windows allow the sun to flood in, while heavy velvet curtains and golden fancy battens give the rooms a luxurious flair.

Some of the accessory is inspired by the set 41006 while the façade shall roughly fit to 10243.

Please note that I did not bother if all the bricks exist in the respective colours in real life, so there's no guarantee you can rebuild this MOC with physical bricks.

Looks like a nice posh bakery to me! I like the work you have done. Were you originally thinking of turning this into a modular?

Merci beaucoup!

No, I actually was not thinking at all . All I want is boosting my post count, so that I become an arch duke by the end of the year...

Nah, just kidding. I just read this thread and was wondering how the façade might be done. Since there is no instruction available yet for set 10243, I tried to figure it out by looking at the images posted there, but still was not certain, how it was actually done. So I fired up LDD, fiddeled around a bit and soon had a prototype of a window that looked quite appealing. I was uncertain, however, how it works on a complete front, so I cobbled some of those window prototypes together to get a more complete impression. When the front was somewhat OK, i realized that 50745 is two studs wide and needs something on the second stud to look OK on the inner side, too. So I tinkered with those curtains. But since the building remained sort of barren inside, I raided my template library and added some interior decoration and equipment, too.

When I got the feeling that it looked good from far but far from good, I decided to publish it here to get some feedback from more experienced MOCers, and maybe even a bunch of inspiration how to improve it. So c'mon folks, express yourself and don't economise criticism. I'm eager to learn and improve my building techniques.
