Friends buildings have always been quite decent, compared to most of the other sets in the Friends range.
This came out in 2015? Wow. Feels a lot more recent.
From Bionicle to Friends. They're quite the opposites. No way to really link them or make a comment on how there's a trend and whatnot. Huwbot's gone very random for the Random Set of the Day.

Neither one of them's likely to get arrested for indecent exposure. You know, not that that's something that LEGO characters usually have to worry about.
It's clear from the first look this is an older set: a house with actual closed walls and normal windows, not some architctural design experiment or a 6-studs deep facade.
Ah, early friends. Whenthe houses were actual full-sized dollhouses with plenty of floor space. Pink, magenta and lavender were overused, but colorschemes were also easier on the eyes in general. No highlighter yellow, vibrant coral yet. Flame yellowish orange and azure were the brightest colors to appear. This was also before the first time the theme was shaken up with new designs.
All in all pretty good, but as Elves was already in its 2nd year at this point I must say the friends theme could have done a slight bit better. Slight, because it's already an improvent over the original Friends house from 2012.
I do like the continuity of the painting being of one of the side builds, even if the frog in it looks weirdly humanoid
Life is treating good to Emma I see. Look at those exquisite decorations...
My daughter Emma loved this set when she was little.

These were the perfect balance of being deep enough to have some walls at the side but not so deep that even little hands have trouble moving stuff around inside.

42687 Liann's Family House $69.99 / £59.99
Same price as this , 11 years later, but the old set does have more interior/studs at the back/roof.
