This is our contemporary style doll house, borrowing in part from the Mediterranean influence on design that was widely built throughout Australia in the mid-nineteenth century. In keeping with the aim of building a house that is cool and bright, it is arguably the most 'open' of our houses.
Two distinctive features of this house style are its terracotta tiled roofing and its recessed front entrance.
It lends itself to being painted in dusty pink or cream.
