I have to say the original looks a bit silly compared to LegoSjaak's XL-version. Look how tiny it is :) Bad for my wallet, as I don't see any other option than to order two brick banks.

LegoSjaak: Really nice. I particularly like how you've changed most of the "brick with grille" parts into this "round brick with grille", as it looks much better at least in my eyes. I don't understand why the original design used the "brick with grille" part, as it looks way worse in the corners.

It seems to be a normal 4x6 frame with a vertical white sticker to divide the window into two frames. Amazing job. I only wish that the screenshots were available at larger resolution.

As you wish :) Here is the bathroom with couple of walls demolished. I found a way to make a little bit room for it. Check the LDD file below to see the bathroom with walls still in place. Here is the LDD file for those who are interested. The floors are using separate groups so that they are easier to remove. (Don't mind the 1x1 red plates here and there - I need them to be able to attach the floors on top of each other.) http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=00830727729586103723

Thanks for the comments. I have come to the conclusion that the "dark tan brick" version is the one I'll be building. RogerSmith: Yes, the plan is to finish the interior. I have about 1300 pieces from my own collection and need to order about 1700 more, so I thought I'd do and build the outer structure that before "wasting" more of my time fiddling with the interior design. The interior seems to be an endless project, as I find myself redoing the things I've already redone multiple times. By the way this is the latest design: I think I'm finally satisfied with the color combinations.

Hello, New to the forum but a Lego builder since childhood. After reading the thread "Bricklinking Modular Buildings" I have been... well, you guessed correctly. At first I decided to use brick-bricks instead of the groove-bricks and the choice of color was sand yellow. However the original design had some alignment issues which meant that brick-bricks would look out of place, since you would be able to see the ends of the bricks which doesn't look too nice. To correct this I moved some elements one brick to the left (particularly the door was a little bit difficult to move) and created a new vertical column to keep things balanced. On the right side the windows have been replaced and there are some other modifications here and there. Roof is curved and can be lifted away: Third floor has a bedroom and a bathroom: There's a nice area by the windows: Third floor also had a kitchen before the construction guys moved it one floor down: The curtain color was changed due to the fact the dark red inverted slopes are kind of expensive. Also purple looks nice. The dining table can be lifted up so that it's easier to clean under there: On the first floor the inside of the shop has seen a couple of structural changes and some changes in the backyard as well: I have been actively fiddling this for a couple of weeks now and I'm on the edge of ordering the bricks I'm missing (which is a large stack), but I'm not entirely convinced I like the sand yellow brick-brick front and would like some opinions what do you like best. First option is with sand yellow brick-bricks: Inverted brick-bricks with the masonry profile on the inside of the building: (Unfortunately the change is a bit hard to see because of the poor resolution of the rendered image...) Tan groove: I'm beginning to re-like the tan groove more and more, but the sand yellow brick-brick has good qualities as well. Which do you like best? Any other opinions about these modifications?
