About Playhouse
A theme that kept returning
Houses have been part of Duplo almost from the start. The earliest sets here date from 1979 and the most recent from 2023, so the theme covers several generations of design. Early releases such as My House (2794-1) from 1994 kept things simple, while later sets add more furniture, rooms and ways to rebuild. Because Duplo bricks stay compatible over the years, old and new houses can be joined into a single street. Many families end up mixing inherited bricks with newer boxes, and this theme is where that works particularly well.
Modern flexible builds
The two largest sets are both recent. The 3in1 Family House (10994-1) from 2023 has 218 pieces and can be built in three different ways. The Modular Playhouse (10929-1) from 2020 follows with 133 pieces and, as its name suggests, is designed to be rearranged. Both reflect a shift towards sets that invite children to change the layout of rooms rather than rebuild the same house every time.
Houses from the 2000s
The 2000s produced a run of mid-sized homes. Play House (2942-1) from 2000 has 84 pieces, Playhouse (Explore) (3620-1) from 2002 has 91, and Doll's House (4966-1) from 2006 has 95. Family House (5639-1) arrived in 2009 with 71 pieces, and a second set called Play House (10505-1) followed in 2013 with 83 pieces.
Telling similar sets apart
With several houses sharing similar names, the set number is the reliable way to identify one. Each entry here comes with its full parts list, useful when checking a second-hand house. If you already have a tub of Duplo, the What can I build? tool shows which of these homes you could put together straight away.
