Ninjago City (70620) - A Very Cramped Apartment

We spent a solid couple of hours legoing last night and got a start on the rooftop level. There is a tiny tiny TINY apartment crammed onto this level. I guess it's pretty typical of a Japanese apartment which tend to be very space conscious.

The small square footage, however, does not detract from the amount of detail that the Lego designers have crammed into the apartment. Virtually every inch of the place is used, whether it's the floor or the walls.

In the below shot, you can see a very compact bunk bed along the far wall. The headboard seems to have a trophy of some sort on it as well as an electronic device - hard to tell what exactly. On the shelf beside, all the occupants clothes have been neatly folded and stacked and on the top shelf are some additional display models. Looks like a humanoid model as well as a car/truck and perhaps a lava lamp?


No apartment would be complete without a TV and there is one stuffed into the corner of the combo kitchen/living room/dining room. There is a microwave mounted on the wall - no stove but then again, who needs to cook when the sushi restaurant is just outside? There is a chair and table crammed up between the bottom bunk and the kitchen counter.




From the outside, the apartment looks very picturesque. There are some Asian designs on the side wall as well as a lattice window to help cool the place down.










 The roof continues the overall Asian look of the set. And of course, there is a satellite so the occupant can enjoy the thousands of channels available!


 The apartment has an ideal location in the city. It's got a great view of the rest of the city and the Japanese Cherry Blossom tree is growing right outside the window. An additional benefit (though not yet built) is the Japanese sushi restaurant which will be located just steps from the front door. Maybe it's the sushi chef that lives here. That would be a nice short commute to work!
