An In-depth Look at LEGO Set 10211 - The Department Store
LEGO Set 10211, known as the Department Store, stands as a classic within the LEGO Street View series. This set, with its French-inspired exterior design, has become a must-have for LEGO enthusiasts.
Exterior Design
The exterior design of this Department Store set is truly classic, with three floors filled with details and surprises.
First Floor Design
The first floor features revolving doors, with a bright display window showcasing fashionably dressed models nearby. Inside, there are fitting rooms and a cash register surrounded by perfumes, hats, clothes, and other merchandise. Pull aside the curtains in one corner to reveal shoppers trying on clothes. There's also an openable ice cream stand, offering delicious treats to shoppers. Near the back door, a mailbox that opens and accepts letters adds to the realism. Additionally, an escalator leading up to the second floor, designed with an inclined angle, perfectly mimics real-life escalators.
Second Floor Design
The bicolor flags outside the second-floor windows can be adjusted up and down, adding vitality to the building. Inside, there are tables and chairs, possibly representing a dining area or lounge. The interior is relatively simple but still features displays and decorations. A prominent elevator leads to the third floor, providing convenient movement between floors.
Third Floor Design
Outside the third floor, you can see Spider-Man cleaning the windows. The exterior of the third floor resembles the second floor but lacks flag decorations. Compared to the second floor, the third floor has additional tables, possibly used for showcasing more merchandise. Hanging from the ceiling is a crystal chandelier composed of over 20 transparent pieces, creating a noble and stunning visual that stands out as a highlight of the model. The transparent skylight design allows a view of the third-floor chandelier, enhancing the building's openness and aesthetic appeal.
Rooftop Design
Prominently placed on the rooftop is a large billboard. This billboard is not only spacious but also beautifully designed, featuring LEGO minifigure heads and gift boxes, highlighting the brand's identity. Surrounding the billboard are spotlights that shine brightly both during the day and at night, adding brilliance and vitality to the model.
Lighting Modifications
ZENE Bricks has further enhanced the exterior lighting of 10211 by illuminating the rooftop billboard and adding warm lighting to the interior of the first through third floors. This makes the entire building brightly lit and lively. Additionally, lighting modifications at the main entrance and under the display windows on the first floor have improved overall visual comfort, making the model even more fascinating.
