My Paris corner scene.
About this creation
Here is my Paris corner scene 'Avenue Saint-Jacques'. It is based on the Haussmann style which is found in most of central Paris. It's taken me nearly 2 months to complete after various orders coming through.

If MOC pages is down or does not display the pictures very well you can also find the pictures on my FlickR stream here.

The building is on six floors not the usual 7 to be found with most buildings as I ran out of bricks :) Some interior details I am not that sure are accurate for the period or style but chose to go with them anyway!

I chose not to do a diagonal corner (Found with most buildings) as I could not make a smooth wall that I was happy with. I also decided not to make a stacked modular building as I have done in the past to allow better access to the interior details and also its difficult to mix the 'cladded' vertical effect with stacking without unsightly gaps. The building is hinged at the side to allow access to the interior. This was the most challenging aspect of the build.

At street level there is a cafe and shop selling ladieswear. On the pavement there is a 'Art Noveau' metro station. The next floor up houses an office and dental surgery. The 4 floors above contain apartments, some with bathrooms and kitchens. A central stairwell gives access to the rooms (The floors vary in height which so some staircases vary slightly)

There are 22 rooms in all so plenty of pictures.

There are now instructions available for purchase if you wish to replicate the build here I am not the ebay seller or instructions designer, but gave my permission in this instance.

Wonderfull and lots of details. Fantastic the way the subway entrance is made, the mime player, the wooden doors. Also the fact that it opens up is even more stunning. This is something one likes to build in LDD It should be even better than any modular building Lego put on the market. A joy to watch.

Quoting Karen Guise Your eye for the tiniest detail, and the flawless execution thereof...amazing, just amazing. We need a new rating system, because you have just raised the bar to a whole new level. I hope someday you will sell instructions. I am obsessed with your interiors, the furniture, the retro refrigerators... And the Metro Station...genius. And the doors with the transom above... Love every detail.
Thank you! The reason I don't do instructions is that my mocs are made freehand and not on LDD. I can't remember how I did things sometimes! :D This build started with the desire to make the metro station and not the other way around! :D

Quoting Marcus Paul Whoa! What a fantastic build! That facade ... Amazing, couldn't be done better. And the interiors are fantastic, too. And the car ... (Hopefully we get this separately, too?) I really love your art-deco stuff but here you have outdone yourself!
Thanks! I hope to get some better pics of the car and get a shot of all 6 together soon. Maybe I'll do an equally scaled art deco building in the future!

Quoting stefan erismann Very nice building, how high is it in centimeters? The interrior is great, I like the floors with the different colours of tiles and the street scene is very detailed: street musician, cyclist, metro station.
Thank you! It is 76cm to the top of the chimneys.
