Posted June 14, 20159 yr Hello everyone This is my fifth modular building. Well, to be fair, it's more a modification than it is my own creation. My husband bought the instructions for the Apple Store a while ago and enjoyed building it a lot. But since we are not that much into Apple he asked me to replace the store by his favourite brand. I liked the original building but I always thought that it's not quite the right scale and doesn't really fit together with the other modular buildings. So I took the elements that I like (which are the colours, the facade of the ground floor and the layout of the smaller window) and created my own version. There's now a Microsoft store on the ground floor with real sliding doors. The interior is mainly based on the original one, only adjusted to the different corporate design. On the first and second floor there are apartments of a comic-strip artist and a musician. The highlight is the cocktail bar on the roof terrace which is considered an insider's tip among Bricktown. I hope you like. Any comments are welcome. Edited June 15, 20159 yr by Palixa And The Bricks
June 14, 20159 yr AWESOME modular, so much detail and finally Apple meets it's match....maybe ? Brick On 'Paxlia And The Bricks' !
June 14, 20159 yr To be honest, I'm not very fond of the idea of a Microsoft store. Everything else, the backyard with tree and bikes, the floors with all their details, the facade, the roof terrace, is really awesome. Great work!
June 15, 20159 yr I know the original design of this one, and I must say, you changed it to such an extent that one could call this a MOC. And an absolutely nice one it is. I love it, especially the interior. The tree in the back is also lovely. Keep clicking those bricks together!
June 15, 20159 yr As I already left a comment on Flickr, I really like your style of the building. The colour scheme is nice as in the Apple store, but the front of the facade looks more classical and more appealing to me. It's also nice how you did the back of the building. The tree provides a focal point and gets most of the attention, but also lets you enjoy the other details, such as the greenery on the terraces. Well done also on the interior.
June 15, 20159 yr This looks great! I really like the bookshelf/loft at the artist studio, all the "glass" work at the roof deck, rear porches, and the really clean yet detailed facade - excellent work, thanks for sharing!
June 15, 20159 yr Very nice! You've accurately recreated the experience of a Microsoft retail store -- it's almost completely empty of customers! HA! The only things you're missing are piles of unsold Zunes (preferably brown) and Windows Phones. All kidding aside, that's a beautiful modular.
June 17, 20159 yr Author Thanks everyone :) I'm really happy that you all like it ... even if it's a Windows store I had a lot of fun building it and when building my modulars I always imagine what it would feel like to actually live there.
August 24, 20159 yr Lego and microsoft, impossible to complain! ;) Some very nice architecture, well done!
