[MOC] Apartment and Coffee Shop - Modular

[TopperTwist]

Apartment and Coffee Shop MOC by TopperTwist, on Flickr

Hello all, this is my first MOC posted on Eurobricks!

The exterior of the building is quite simple, and was inspired by old buildings around New York City. Minor SNOT techniques throughout, with the use of dark red as an accent and dark tan as the main color for the rest of the building. The bottom is a hipsteresque coffee shop, and the top two floors are an apartment.

The back of the building (intentionally) looks dilapidated. Some texture details with exposed "pipes" and overgrown foliage.

First Floor Interior by TopperTwist, on Flickr

The interior of the coffeshop features a large main counter, with a whole row of flavor pumps beneath the windows. Other details include a coffee maker and decorative gas pump (from the Town Plan) and some paintings.

Second Floor by TopperTwist, on Flickr

The first floor of the apartment! My favorite part, for sure. Includes an open-concept kitchen, dining area, and living room. More details can be seen on Flickr, as well.

Third Floor by TopperTwist, on Flickr

The top level is the bedroom and bathroom. Bathroom is in the bottom left corner. There is also a large rug on the floor, and some furniture details. The painting above the bed was inspired by another Eurobricks user whose building skills I really admire, Kristel. She used a similar style painting in her beautiful Sand Blue Townhouse!

The apartment next to some of the more recent official modulars for a size comparison. Thank you so much for viewing, feedback is always appreciated! Many more views and explanations can be found here:

A good modular building - as I see it was your first post, so this is a good start.

I like the interiors and - regarding the front- especially the part on the left side is very well designed.

I like it...it's simple and clean.

But, wow...the Town Hall swallows the new Detective Agency

Hm, yes, it also nicely fits into the Lego City front. Interior is good. Is someone living there?

That's a cute and cool addition for your Modular City! Congrats!
