style of house (new to the kids anyway) for the kids to play with.\u00a0 Most of my MOCs are built to fit alongside the creator series a major design part which involves each level being taken off.\u00a0 I prefer this actually, it is cleaner in general and works quite well when designing and putting it together.\u00a0 What I found with the kids, however, is that when it was time for them to play, they couldn&#8217;t quite visually connect the connections between the floors when you took each floor off.\u00a0 It works great with three kids playing with one floor each, but they didn&#8217;t seem to like not being able to make the LEGO guy physically walk up the stairs to the next floor and having it disconnected.\u00a0 That&#8217;s the premise behind this build.\u00a0 Some of the furniture from an earlier post are scattered throughout this build (specifically the <a href=\"https:\/\/paul.walker.com.co\/?p=210\" target=\"_blank\">washer and dryer<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><a

on top with no way to really reach in there and play with the interior space.\u00a0 I think in the end, it would have been better to have less hinges and maybe more space (taller building) on the interior.\u00a0 The kids still seem to enjoy playing with this build though so I guess that&#8217;s all that counts in the end.<\/p>\n<p><a
