Idea Book 238-1 : Red & blue cozy urban row house

The LEGO construction circled in black in this image from page 2 of LEGO Idea Book No. 238-1 (Germany) is a cozy urban row house, designed to fit into a vibrant cityscape. This build reflects a traditional European urban row house style, likely inspired by the narrow, closely packed homes found in cities like Amsterdam or Brussels during the mid-20th century. The steep roof and chimney are practical features for urban settings with potential snow or heating needs, adapted into a simplified LEGO form.
