Idea Book 238-1 : Red Northern modern appartments building with blue roof

The circled LEGO construction from LEGO Idea Book No. 238-1 (Germany) is a modern urban apartment building, designed to enhance a dynamic city scene. This build embodies a mid-20th-century modernist architectural style, reflecting the post-war urban development trends of the 1950s and 1960s. It has clean lines, grid-like window pattern and a cute blue sloped roof.

My build

It was relatively easy to build, except for the roof. I would recommend adding bricks inside to solidify the roof. And also use windows that are in good conditions. I realise as well that the front facade is split into two parts that only re-unify with the roof. It’s not enough to make it solid. I would recommend doing a better bricks mix for the last line before the roof to fix this.
