I've just been looking at these wonderful buildings designed by @Jasper Joppe Geers. They are all very impressive. Don't think these have been posted previously, but apologies @LegoModularFanif any of them have.

Wow, that thing is stunning! I love the glass canopy section at the front.

This is a modular Ideas project that I'm rather fond of, particularly for its Earth Green roof and complementary antique automobile build, not to mention that I love antique stores.

Thanks for reminding me Ideas, there are some great modulars there. I definitely need to post them here!

Certainly, as some creations you might not find pictures or postings of elsewhere other than Ideas, sometimes due to them being created in mind as an Ideas project from its inception. I see so many submissions there for modular projects, and many of them being immensely popular from the get-go. 

Here's a non-modular project that's more residential than it is urban, which you may or may not have seen already:

This one is crazy good! One that also got me into designing modulars was Hearthstone Bakery, by Kilkstyle. I even started my first modular (what would become Magic Shop) by copying the cheese slope roof

When I say we have both great and similar tastes, I’m not wrong! Look at the Staff Picks of 19 February  So if you like it’s roof, what do you think about this MOC which was selected as one of the Staff Picks of 18 February?

Oooh, now that is beautiful! There's so much to love about this one, particularly its Sand Green facade, its tilted chimneys, that cobble stoned wall, its roof, its windows...

Hadn't seen you'd highlighted it, it's one of my favourites. The other modular is just beautiful all way round. I'm not sure if you can, but if you could it would be interesting to place the modulars you highlight on the first post

I love it from the bottom to the top. Shame it doesn’t get the number of supporters it really deserves. I hope it’ll reach 10 000 supporters. BTW how do you hide the images?

In the toolbar that's situated above your posting box, there are five icons, which are from left to right...

A chain link, a quotation mark, two opposing brackets, an eye, and a smiley face.

It's the fourth icon (the eye) that you want to click on, which in turn brings up a "spoiler box" into which you can post whatever content you wish to keep from being immediately visible.

Hey, somebody built a lego model of my house!!   I wish!! 

Seriously though this is a lovely design, as an Englishman I like this one a lot.

I've never taken a closer look at that modular of his before, it's a beauty! I like how the cash sign on the billboard is also a minifigure head in its shape.

I didn’t see that before, that’s a great idea 

BTW I couldn’t find how to reduce images, so I preferred not uploading any as their sizes are too big...

If you are posting images from Flickr, you can "reduce" their size by clicking a downwards pointing arrow icon, which is the third from the left of four icons located at the bottom right-hand corner of that photo. Clicking on that brings up a small menu with various photo dimensions/sizes you can chose to download; but, it's the last option on that menu you want, which reads View all sizes. Clicking on that brings you to a new page which has a fuller collection of sizes for that particular photo. So, click on whichever size fits best, right click the photo, open it in another tab, then copy/paste the image's ULR into your Eurobricks post, and see how it works for the post's format! 

Now, as for photos from other sites such as LEGO Ideas, I'm not sure how to size reduce anything hosted elsewhere other than Flickr, hence why I end up posting them within "spoiler tags" just so they won't swamp the entirety of my post.

I must say, that's a bit medieval for this subforum, but it's certainly a beauty! I mean, that roof...

Eurobricks has a built-in image resizer.

While typing in the reply box link the image like your normally would via "insert other media" and once the image is displayed in your reply box double click on the picture and a pop-up window will appear where you can resize the image right on Eurobricks (any image from any site). For example resizing this image of the Diner from the Lego shop@home site to 50 pixels:

Yes I know, that’s why the title is “Inspirational Modular and Non-Modular Building MOCs

If you look at any other MOCs of @DK_Titan, you’ll see that he always finds an unexpected part to give a texture on the roof of his MOCs!
