Description

Three floors, three distinct rooms

The Detective's Office rises across three storeys, each with its own character: a shop at street level, the titular office on the first floor, and an apartment above. With 2,262 pieces, there's enough substance to furnish every room with its own furniture, wall panelling and small everyday objects. As with all Modular Buildings sets, the front swings open for play, giving access to each room individually, while the back stays closed and gives the building a compact, townhouse-like look from outside.

Built to join the rest of the street

The real appeal of the Modular Buildings line is that individual houses combine into one continuous street. The Detective's Office shares the same footprint and building height as other sets in the series, so it connects seamlessly on either side. Anyone who already owns other Modular Buildings, or plans to add more, will find a house that fits in stylistically and structurally while still keeping a distinct character of its own.

Muted city colours with plenty of texture

Light grey, dark grey, black and reddish brown define the colour scheme, giving the model the muted, urban look of a classic townhouse. With 431 distinct part types, there's a lot of variety in the facade, from window frames and cornices to small decorative elements. That variety keeps the building interesting even up close, revealing fresh details at every corner, which is typical of this series' elaborate construction style.

Six minifigures for stories inside the house

Six minifigures populate the three floors, providing figures for the shop, the office and the apartment alike. That makes it easy to tell small stories around the building, from a customer visit downstairs to winding down in the upstairs flat. The parts list on this page shows exactly which figures and furniture pieces are included, which is especially useful if you plan to combine this set with other townhouses.
