  • Baago's Cottages (David Gebhard and Gerald Mansheim)

These five dollhouse-sized cottages combine both the Colonial and medieval cottage images. The design tour-de-force of these buildings lies in their entrances, where a curved roof goes down close to the ground, and within which is not only the entrance door but a small niche with a vaulted ceiling.
