[MOC] Bauhaus Modular Building

[hermez]

Hi,

I'm new around here :)

Having rediscovered LEGO a year ago, I quickly became interested in the modular series; also to give it a shot myself, which resulted in my first modular style MOC

Bauhaus Modular

The idea was to incorporate commercial and residential space into one building, hence the small grocery store / deli on one side, and access to the residential area on the other.

Fully furbished including a living room, a kitchen, a terrace and a rooftop.

Some close up shots:

Floor by floor view:

All in all a great experience, even though I had to apply some significant changes to my original LDD design to improve stability - especially on the floors.

I'm still not completely happy with a couple of design choices/flaws (like the small gap between the horizontal arches and the building walls) - still learning! :)

Hello,

I'm not a big fan of modern houses, but yours is wonderful, particularly the interiors,

Very good job, brick on!!!!!

Delightful art deco style modular you here designed 'hermez', Brick On !

[Nemo57]

Very neat and beautiful.

That's your first attempt? Please ignore me as I push my jumble of intended Modular bricks to one side.

That is awesome. I'm very impressed!

Great build! The angled walls provide an interesting interior.

[Dazz]

Excellent build, especially for your first modular!

[Criga88]

So many details crammed in, I love it. Looking forward to more great builds!

Great work.

Nice modular especially for a first MOC. Well done! I really like the kitchen. Some very neat details all around.

[hermez]

thanks for your feedback, glad you like it!

Fantastic first modular building!! Remember, you have to start somewhere, and you never stop learning!!! But this is really impressive, I too like the angled wall for the interior (I personally would not have made it structural, as such. Almost like a 'fake' wall sitting on top of the tiles but attached the structural walls), but it effective none the less!

I look forward to many more modular buildings from you Is this going to be part of a larger layout? I'd love to see your town if you have one!!

Happy building

Wow! Such wonderful first MOC. Lots impressed!

edit: Sorry, could not resist the doge. But honestly, this MOC is so good that it justifies it. So many details, and overall brilliant design, visually and conceptwise. Is it a sleeping couch underneath the stairs? Marvelous. I am flabbergasted! :D

Thanks so much :)

Yes, that is one of the details I am not perfectly happy with - there are some visible gaps in the floor due to the underlying structure, and this just needs some rework.

Is this going to be part of a larger layout? I'd love to see your town if you have one!!

As this is my first modular building (I finished it in May this year), unfortunately there isn't a town yet - but there definitely will be one in the future ;) I am currently working on some sort of park / recreational area - let's see where this ends ;)

Is it a sleeping couch underneath the stairs?

That's right, there's a couch underneath the stairs (I guess you could sleep on it as well?!?) ;). I couldn't justify spending close to 25 bucks on the sand blue elements for the couch alone, so it's a mix of dark and sand blue ;)

Also for anyone interested: the Bauhaus Modular's LXF is up for grabs at rebrickable.com (http://rebrickable.com/mocs/hermez/bauhaus-modular). Feel free to download and tinker around!

Nice MOC, congratulations :)

[Kristel]

This is great! The curved wall looks great, although I would prefer no gap. The interior detailing is nicely done, especially the angled wall between the store and residential space. The rooftop terrace with spa is just perfect.

[King Andy]

That's a really sweet modular, I really like it's design and the furniture. Nice work!

[SimonJC]

This is your first build its incredible I hate you

[mikaelsol]

Very good!

[Subix]

Very nice outside and inside.

Good idea for curved fence!

[PaddyBricksplitter]

Interesting choice of design. The modernist modular build is an area not often explored. Looks good and is well made.

[hermez]

Thanks so much for your feedback :D

Yes, a curved fence would definitely make a nice addition, haven't thought of that yet :)

[deraven]

I don't love the exterior simply because the style isn't my cup of tea, but still nicely done. I must say, though, that the interior is masterful! I especially love that compact kitchen and the piano! Lovely work- can't wait to see more!

[Wout]

A very good moc.

The Bauhaus style is good recognisible.

The interior is also very nice.

Well done!

Wish to live in it!!
