So I’ve gotten really into the modular building collection over the past couple years, and I’ve always thought the Dupain-Cheng bakery would make a good half-width modular. Back in January I finally got around to designing it on Bricklink Studio, and yesterday I finally received the last pieces I needed to finish the roof!
A closer look at the balcony. I’ve mostly based this build off the new animation due to the nicer colour scheme and higher level of detail, which can be seen with all the plants up here.
Interior of Marinette’s room. You can see an example of something from the old animation here, the pink dresser in the corner. I couldn’t figure out how to make any of the newer stuff in that corner in the right size, so I used the dresser instead. The sewing machine in the corner is based of of this build: https://www.reddit.com/r/lego/s/KSWUdRXUTz

Overall I’d say Marinette’s room + the roof was the hardest section to make. The cantilever bed and the sloped roof were a NIGHTMARE for object collisions but I got there eventually haha.
The living room and kitchen! I’ve really come to appreciate the brightly coloured fridge and cabinets.
The bakery! I used gold bricks to line the benches but you can’t see them from this angle which is a bit of an oversight RIP. The tile pattern in the customer section means there’s no studs to put characters on but honestly I like the pattern enough that I don’t mind.
I’m honestly quite proud of how the stairwell leads up to the second floor. The outside door is in a different place than in canon so that it opens out to the alleyway behind the modular when it’s placed next to another building.
Pound it! Unfortunately they don’t make Ladybug’s hairpiece in navy blue, so I had to make do with a copic marker. I am umming and ahhing about whether to switch it out with Spider-Byte’s hair, which may be the wrong texture but the colour is right and it’ll look cleaner. As for Chat Noir, I’ve got cat ears but am still contemplating the best way to get a hole into the hairpiece (Tragically there aren’t many masculine hairpieces with accessory holes)
In the modular street! Unfortunately, despite my best attempts at making the sides fit flush against other modulars, the windowsills stick out a little. Luckily the building on the left is further back, but the Sanctum Sanctorum can’t quite fit :(
Might post some pics later with minifigures using the building but I think this post is long enough for now haha.
