Idea Book 1 : 2 floors house with dormer window (from page 2)

This image, sourced from the LEGO System Idea Book1 (238-0), page 2 set under the theme “Something about houses,”. The construction highlighted within the green circle showcases a charming house with 2 floors, a red roof and white walls, decorated with a dormer window. On this web page, we provide step-by-step instructions to build this delightful house. Interestingly, the image includes pieces on top of the dormer window that did not exist in the original LEGO sets. Additionally, in the instructions provided, I have incorporated extra elements to ensure the roof’s stability. Also the back side of it is improvised based on the front, as this is the only existing picture of this construction.

The other constructions of that page can be found on that page.
