Description of your project: Lego Store Modular Version
The main concept is a stand-alone LEGO® Store that is about to open after a long period of renovations in an old building in New York. A two-story-high beautiful Pick-A-Brick wall is the main feature of the store.
The storefront has a few notable features such as big show windows, doors, huge red and yellow bricks, and the rooftop with technic gears which epitomize how the old building was upcycled here. It shows that the building used to be a small toy factory.
Unlike other modular buildings whose interior design has to be hidden by the bricks, the inside of the store can be seen easily thanks to the nice daylighting coming from the windows.
On the left side in the store, there is a play zone where kids can play with some bricks. On the wall, there are many boxes, polybags, and some white display boxes for sample products. On the right side of the store, a counter with a clerk is placed under a LEGO logo.
At the bottom of each side, there are two technic pin holes to be connected with other modular buildings. The yellow storage room at the backside of the building has many carton boxes and working LEGO crews inside.
In your modular town, it’s time to place a LEGO store filled with LEGO products you love. It will make you happy whenever you see it.
Bio: Krisnow
Who are you?
I am a Korean living in Seoul, Korea. I used to be a book designer but I’m currently a serious AFOL.
What got you in to the LEGO hobby?
When I was around 7 years old, my dad brought a big box of LEGO product home from his business trip abroad but my three brothers didn’t show that much interest. I felt lucky since I got fascinated with it.
However, I had not been serious about LEGO until I bought 10211 Grand Emporium in 2011. With it, I rediscovered my interest in LEGO products and started to buy other modular sets.
What inspired you to start designing your own MOCs?
I have been personally interested in architecture and interior design. However, I didn’t try to create a new building by myself with Lego bricks until I got some confidence after building some official modular buildings since 2011.
In 2015, one of my friends who was somewhat associated with Burger King Korea talked about the new business initiatives such as home delivery and drive-through. One day, I came up with an idea that a Burger King drive-through store made by Lego bricks would be a nice present for his birthday. That was the moment when I decided to design my first MOC.
What inspired you to do this project?
All LEGO lovers, including myself, always want more LEGO bricks and LEGO products. We sometimes dream of owning an entire LEGO store with a beautiful Pick-A-Brick wall. One day, I just decided to make that dream come true, partially, by building my own LEGO store with LEGO bricks. It became my second MOC and got 10K supports at Lego Ideas.
