Vincent Q Posted November 28, 2018 Hello there, Sharing you guys my MOC. It's typical traditional coffee house in Malaysia. Thanks for viewing. Hope you guys like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeanLearner Posted November 28, 2018 Very nice! Have you designed it for a specific layout? What would you envisage going to the side of the building where the balcony is? Without overlooking the more detailed and ornate architectural features, I’m curious about the technique for the roof - I can’t tell from the photo. Are they medium nougat tiles, or sideways masonry bricks that you managed to attach at few enough points to provide the “wonky” orientation to simulate roof tiles?

glx Posted November 28, 2018 Looks great from the outside ?.. Can you take some pictures of the interiors? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kristel Posted November 28, 2018 Looks great! I'm curious about the section between the footpath and the road. It feels like it should be filled with plants or flowers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteFang Posted November 29, 2018 Excellent MOC and spot on with regards to the design. I can instantly recognise it and it is a common sight in Malaysia too. 5 hours ago, Kristel said: Looks great!

The sections are the deep drainage sytem and most of the time, they are not covered and our dear Vincent got it right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I fell a few times on it when I was a child. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This MOC is a replicate of a real shop house located at the capital of Malaysia. In the old days, many houses transformed to shop house. Downstair is shop, upstairs is the house of the owner. Here’s the picture of the real building~ Yes I’m using 1x4 nougat printed tiles to build the roof. Glad that you like it. Thanks!

paupadros Posted November 29, 2018 Beautiful build! Many things to point out; I'm definitely a big fan of the dark tan section on the side and the whole texuring on the façade especially with shutter pieces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
