One of the latest designs to gain the required 10,000 supporters and added to a future review stage at LEGO Ideas is the Makoto Markets by ModularManiac!
The talented designer behind the brick-built retro recreation is ModularManiac, has designed and built a gorgeous looking modular building. Makoto Markets is a hot spot for commerce and bartering. Built with a fusion of Japanese and San Francisco architecture, it’s the perfect place to purchase a souvenir, grab a bite to eat, or meet some friendly faces.
On the ground floor of the leftmost building you will find Julie’s Treasures. A shop of many vendors selling keepsakes to remember your visit to Makoto Markets. Travel to the second story to discover a photo studio, owned by professional photographer Maya. Many familiar faces have used Maya’s services to capture special moments that will last a lifetime. Take the spiral staircase to the third floor to find Owen’s apartment. While Owen may be a bit shy, he keeps his space neat and tidy, as well as having excellent taste in Modular Buildings.
The modular building overall is a place rich with stories to discover. From the hanging lanterns to the waving banners, Makoto Markets is a testament to the deep culture and character of Bricksburg. Making a fine addition to any town, this building fits right in with others, as well as being an impressive centerpiece on its own.
Unfortunately reaching the required goal of 10,000 supporters doesn’t guarantee it’ll be made into a real-life LEGO set, but there is hope for fans as the LEGO Ideas team will debate on and choose which sets will be lucky enough to make it through sometime next/this year – we wish ModularManiac the best of luck in the next stage – it’s truly beautiful.
