Idea Book 1 : Yellow House with Red Pyramid Roof

This image, taken from the LEGO System Idea Book 1 (238-0), page 2, features a variety of house designs under the theme “Something about houses.” The construction highlighted within the green circle showcases a distinctive yellow house with a pyramidal red roof and a garage, standing out with its unique architectural style. On this web page, we provide step-by-step instructions to build this charming yellow house. Notably, the original image depicts a continuous white plate as a base with dozens of studs, which did not exist in LEGO sets at the time; instead, I build it using a 6×8 white plate, a commonly utilized piece from that era, to achieve a similar effect.

All the builds of that picture can be found on that page.
