Idea Book 238-1 : Blue compact urban row house

The LEGO construction circled in black in this image from LEGO Idea Book No. 238 German edition is a compact urban row house, designed as part of a charming street scene. Since the roof can’t be scene, I give my own interpretation of the build trying to stick to the overall picture style. This build reflects a traditional European row house style, likely inspired by the narrow, tightly packed homes found in medieval or early modern towns across Northern Europe, such as those in Germany or the Netherlands during the 1950s.

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