Idea Book 1 : Tiny house with no door

This image, sourced from page 2 of the LEGO Idea Book 1 (also referenced as set 238-0), showcases a variety of house designs under the theme “Something about houses.” The construction highlighted within the green circle features a tiny house with a red roof, white walls, and a pine tree in the yard, set on a Light Gray baseplate. Note that the house has no door, as it could be seen on other constructions of the Town Plan series. On this web page, we provide step-by-step instructions to help you build this delightful red-roofed house, allowing you to recreate this classic LEGO design from the 1950s. Note that the tree in the rendering bellow is not the correct one, but I provide the correct reference in the inventory.

All the constructions shown in this picture can be found on that page.
