MOC: Baker's shop

[alois]

After buying and building set 10185 'green grocer' I wanted a shop that could go with it, in scale, details and function. So I decided to build a bakery. It is a building originating from the beginning of the 20th century, built in the style of the dutch architect Berlage. I wanted it to be more asymmetrical than my previous MOCs, so I added a loggia with a tower ont he left side, which is in itself also asymmetrical. Many design decisions were guided by the presence or absence of certain parts. The keen observer will certainly recognise set 6754 'Family House'.

I fitted the first two floors with an interior. The baker's shop is provided with a counter, shelves with bread and shelves with pastries. There is also the possibility to enjoy your pastry inside the shop at a small table.

Upstairs you will find a living room with open kitchen, fireplace, a cupboard, a sofa and dinner table. Going further you will find a sleeping room (opening to the loggia) with adjacent bathroom.

The third floor is not fitted, and cannot be opened.

My Lego street has four houses now: the mayor's mansion, a döner kebab snackbar, a bakery (all my own creation) and finally the green grocer.

More pictures are to be found here.

Amazing work. The interior is nice, and the exterior fits in well with the detail of Green Grocer

Keep it up.

Excellent MOC! I fits well with and compliments the Green Grocer. I particularly like the detailed and realistic looking interior.

Very well done.

I'm from Holland too, but I just talk in English so everyone can read it . Great job! You should make Amsterdam in Lego, you only need 'de Amsterdamsche grachten' and a few boats.

What a lovely building, It fit perfectly with the GG and the other modular buildings

EXCELLENT creation alois! I really like the architecture. The streetlight seems nice too! Well done!

The streetlight seems nice too!

I didn't have any of the white streetlights found in the modular sets, so I had to invent my own, based on the lamps of some creator sets.

AWESOME design 'alois', great looking shop and even more AWESOME living room !

Excellent work and keep on MOCing !

Wow, that's truly an awesome creation that fits perfectly well with TLG's official modular buildings. The exterior design looks great, and the interior details are very well done too. Outstanding work alois!

I like it! Really good combination of colors and it fits perfectly with the Green grocer. I really liked how you made the coach. Also, good job with the lamp post!

As for suggestions, maybe tile the third floor and change the door to 1x4x6 and maybe get something on the walls. Perhaps advertisements and maybe add some plants to liven up the place more

Also, if you could add a few more customers that just bought their treat of the day and walking towards the door or seating group.

A perfect resumé of ideas that I did have and parts that I did not have...

Yeah, I certainly know that problem. Anyways, you did a great job with what you had available at hand

Wonderful. I love the details you put inside the baker's shop. I really like the asymmetrical look to the exterior. It makes it look more realistic. Great job.
