LEGO Houses of the World 3 (40594) Official Images

LEGO has finally put up the product page for the upcoming Houses of the World 3 (40594) gift with purchase set on the LEGO Shop which means that the promotion should be coming soon. The product description does confirm that the set is based on a house from Switzerland as said in our early review.

The promotion period is still unknown at this time as well as the purchase threshold but we can assume it’ll be $250 as the previous two sets in the series were at that price.

Recreate the distinctive architecture of Switzerland as you build the third in a collection of LEGO® Houses of the World. This set (40594) is inspired by the traditional buildings of Switzerland and combines a variety of color schemes with distinctive architectural design. The theme continues with Swiss interior decor. The modular design means this house can be combined with others from the collection (40583, 40590 and 40599) – each sold separately.

LEGO Houses of the World 3 (40594) Review

LEGO Houses of the World 3 (40594)

The release date of the LEGO Houses of the World 3 (40594) is still a mystery but we have an early copy of the set to check out. The set looks to be at a European location this time.

The build is split into two bags and also has a small sticker sheet for the wooden panels.

The house has a 12×10 footprint and sits on two stories. On the lower level, your eyes goes straight to the logs that are stacked up on the right side. The log tiles are actually printed pieces which is nice since you don’t want to put on stickers for all of them. The adjacent wall has a stack of logs along with an ax.

Next to the door is a barrel filled with tools as well as a bench. The wall next to that has a pillar along with some shutters next to the window.

Going up, the balcony has some flowers to give it some color contrast.

The upper floor doesn’t have that much besides more windows and shutters.

The inside of the house has a lot more going on. The living room has a sectional sofa with a log table in the middle of the room. There’s also a fireplace, a record player, and a painting in the area. On the opposite end, there’s a table with some cheese and chocolate which may suggest that the house is located in Switzerland.
