MOC Modular terraced houses

[Kivi]

After quite some time I managed to create another modular house. Well, two modular houses actually, as I decided to build two 16-wide mirror-imaged residential houses.

Street view. Again I found the inspiration in the Anglo-Saxon world and chose the colours accordingly to represent the brick-built houses.

Rear view. Each house has a terrace with the stairs leading down to the garden.

Another smaller terrace is located on the top each house.

Both houses are fully furnished inside. The dark tan house has a small kitchen and a living room on the ground floor and a huge chest of drawers under the stairs.

The first floor has a bedroom and a bathroom.

A bed with a small bedside table and a bookshelf.

Bathroom with sink, toilet and towel rack in the corner.

A 'chill-out area' on the top floor with TV set and comfortable armchair. Initially I had no proper idea what to put in here until my little son who was playing around while I was building asked 'Why they don't have a TV in the house if there is an aerial on the roof?'

The brown house is very similarly furnished as next door. The ground floor has a kitchen and a living room (with TV set too).

First floor. The bathroom is a mirror image of the neighbours' bathroom while the bedroom has a slightly different arrangement.

A bed with a bookshelf.

The top floor has a 'chill-out room' too, turned into an AFOL's workplace. A new modular is being built on the desk. Some bricks are still scattered across the desk while the majority of them is stored in the big cardboard boxes in the back.

OOB modulars are displayed on the shelf beside the desk - from left to right are grand emporium, green grocer, fire brigade, town hall and palace cinema.

A few additional exterior pictures can be found here.

Excellent! Love the interior details and the rear terraces.

That's some cool houses and excellent furniture. My favorites are the yellow arm chair and the drawer thing under the stairs.

First off, no Cafe Corner?? Poor AFOL.

The builds look nice. I like the idea of having two different interiors to mirror imaged buildings. The tv is simple yet effective. The toilet is a smart use of parts. I really like the refridgerator for the smaller footprint of the kitchen.

My only qualm is you did all this tiling on the floors, yet the stairs are studded.

Keep up the great work.

Nice work. I like the colour scheme the most and the mirrored exterior. The terrace and back door to the garden is a nice details to add more life to usually less interesting sides of the buildings. As for the interiors, you managed to fill them up with furniture really nicely.

Very nice! They'd look great on an slightly inclined road, as many British terraced houses are on a hill.

Love the mini modulars too!

[eurotrash]

Good job! I think a whole row of these could look very effective.

[Kristel]

These are gorgeous, inside and out! I particularly like the coffee tables, the entrances and the toilet design.

Just one suggestion - maybe bring forward the roofline at the front forward by two studs, so that there is an overhang same as the back of the building.

Wow, the interiors are stunning. So many details in such little space are really inspiring me!

Thank You!

[igacreative]

Fantastic build! Love the detail, and can imagine a row of many sat together!

[rob-cubed]

Charming! Nice job on the interiors, I like the modern/Asian drawers tucked under the stairs and the sliding glass door.

The lack of fireplaces is amusing given that you have chimneys.

Loving these and will have a closer look later for inspiration. Coming from someone who has never built a Moc and really admires your build but has lived in, visited and passed by numerous terraced homes in the UK. I would consider changing one of the terraces with stairs coming down into the gardens. Whilst fronts of houses may be identical, rarely have i seen two backs of terraced houses so similar.

AWESOME modulars 'Kivi'......humble on the outside, excellent detailing on the inside......totally Brick On 'Kivi' !

[Peppermint_M]

They look like some houses a few streets away from me, very good build there

[Kivi]

Thanks @all.

Some of you mentioned a row of such houses - I agree that a few more of them placed together would look great. I already had in mind to construct two additional houses in dark red and dark orange, but unfortunately not all the necessary parts exist in these colours. This also accounts for the relatively plain facade without any special details as I was restricted to the parts that are available both in dark tan and reddish brown and in reasonable quantities.

My only qualm is you did all this tiling on the floors, yet the stairs are studded.

This would certainly add a finished touch to the interior. But to make a turn on top of the stairs in a tight space I used this brick which cannot be evenly tiled, therefore I rather left all the studs exposed.

Nice MOCs. I like that they aren't too fancy looking - they look like real houses (if that makes sense)
