Mark Turpin's Architectural Models (doll houses to die for)

First to recommend

Description

It's hard to call the work of Mark Turpin dollhouses because they are really small scale architectural models and cost thousands of dollars. Whether they are a custom replica of your own home or a famous building, these are hand-crafted, amazingly impressive and when filled with mini art and furniture, are homes fit for mini kings and queens! You've real got to see all the images!

ArcheToys, Gas Station

part of the series of metal toys by Dutch designer Floris Hovers, this modern miniature gas station isn't a doll house, but it's certainly cool looking. You can add the cars from the collection, but I like it just the way it is.

The Osborn Dollhouse

First to recommend

Description

Kathy Osborn is an illustrator who worked with Californian model architects J & G, who were also responsible for most of the furniture, apart from the mod-style chairs which were constructed by Japanese company REAC.to design this wonderful modern dollhouse.

It was shown at the licensing expo but I don't think it's been mass produced. Too bad, because it's fabulous. be sure to see all the pictures!
