Dev mode
Cut back on mesh data and environment.
Keeping it simple but interresting.
I had the intentions to have some street reflection is the window glass using a HDRI.
But difficult in execution and increasing render times.

A video about the design steps.
The shop facade based on reference photos. A lot of time spent on the lighting conditions. The render was done in Cycles.
And to speed up the development I used a lot of objects from different projects.

Applying objects containing lights and junk doesn't help.
Or missing texture maps.
Also the organization of containers is handy.
But not available in projects before 2.80.
