Today I have photos of my modular building MOC I just finished, which is a 16x32 bakery with an upstairs apartment. I used the rare but relatively inexpensive sand purple, one of my favorite Lego colors, making the absolute most of only three different elements in that color that you could conceivably construct a facade with: mostly 1x3 slopes (yikes) but also a couple of pneumatic tube joiners, flipped upside down to form an interesting heart-shaped decoration. The bakery entrance is inset, forming a cavity for outdoor seating, while the roof juts out. The large window sill teems with plant life. On the upper window, some structural tan bricks represent curtains. The apartment is accessed through some old castle stairs at the back, where I had to employ a funky technique with droid arms and bars to get them to stay locked in place. Due to writer’s (builder’s?) block it ended up being quite barren-looking back here, but I tried to liven it up with some stained glass and a porch swing. The ground floor features the bakery, which includes a kitchen, a mop closet, a standing area with a table and chair, and a newspaper bin. Looks like they specialize in croissants and stroopwafels. Scrumptious. Upstairs is a loft apartment. Due to the 1x3 size of the purple slopes, I had a large interior window sill to work with, which I filled with plants. That set the tone for the interior design which I decided should be a kind of maximalist bohemian style, to get technical. The roof level has a removable back much like the Parisian Restaurant and a small bathroom, freestanding bathtub, bookshelf and bed. This building is meant to compliment my Antique Toy Store MOC I made last year. Together they take up the footprint of a normal modular. LEGO is known for making use of contrasting colors in the modular buildings series, and in that spirit I wanted to challenge myself to make a modular building utilizing yellow and purple—normally gaudy together, but, as I predicted, the sand purple does a tremendous job of subduing things and I think they look great together. Hmm, but maybe I should change the toy store baseplate to dark grey so they match on the backside. With a yellow and purple modular building it is now of course easier to have every color of the rainbow on my city block. Tubular! An example of a modular layout in rainbow order (which would probably look amazing with an “Everyone is Awesome” set displayed nearby!) Or, my favorite arrangement which is something more scattered like this. Just like with the toy store, I will be constructing this model in Studio and making instructions for it whenever I have time to tackle another project. Once that happens I will update this thread with a link to the rebrickable page. Let me know what you think of this project! Thanks for checking it out fellow Lego fans!

Hello builders, I've started the long process of reorganizing my LEGO parts and I want to get back into constructing LEGO MOCs. I'm looking for inspiration. I'm interested in MOCs of a 16x32 foundation. Whilst I understand some may see this size as too small, I feel it's good for conserving precious space. I'm wanting to construct a street, with buildings opposite side. If anyone has any decent 16x32 foundation MOCs that they would like to share, please feel free. 😊 A quick search: scarovich - [MOC] Pizza Shop - 16x32 modular (will edit this post)

Hi everyone, This is my 16x32 modular MOC which I’m calling Antique Toy Store. The ground floor is the toy shop with a marble roller coaster displayed in the front window, and the upper floors are a two-story apartment with a working clothesline in the back. There is also a working “touw en blok,” or rope-and-pulley system for moving furniture, so there is a bit of a “moving rope” motif going on. Interiors: Since these are supposed to be antique/valubale toys, I got a bit meta and turned one of the display cases into a collection of the most valuable small Lego elements in my collection. Many are from 2011’s Queen Anne’s Revenge pirate ship, including the ultra-rare and expensive dark tan plume. I was going for a Christmas-y theme with the dark red and olive green for the toy shop, and I placed a pine tree in the back to solidify that theming more. The second level has a living area and kitchen. The third level has a bathroom with a removable wall for easy access, and a giant bed, which was the last thing I created for the build. I have no idea how the minifigs got it up there. The roof section is nothing too special, but it does feature a storage area for the furniture rope. Influences: These are the references which inspired the design I chose. The ground floor was influenced by this really vibrant building I saw on a street corner when I was in Amsterdam last year. The dark red color, irregular angle of the door, arches, and small statue were ideas garnered from this building. (first pic is mine) The upper levels were loosely based around these images but are mostly a product of my imagination. Lastly, here is the antique toy store with some other modulars. (Mmmm, color therapy) Thanks for checking out my build, I hope you liked it!
