I used mainly stacked plates and bricks... there's a bit of SNOT to get the
Window row fall back ½ stud, the rows right of the window are jumper plates and
plates, held by invisible technic bricks.

My only crits are that it's perhaps
a little too big for minifig scale and the door seems a little underdone and
inaccurate compared to everything else.

The building was pretty much 1:40 all the way, which to me is minifig scale. For
some weird reason this ended up being 31 studs wide, which I increased to 32 for
modularity's sake. As for the doors, they aren't very detailled in the original
building as well, and the architect put them recessed and without much color to
make them "fade" so I tried (and might have overshot the mark) to live up to
that idea...
