I'm happy to see that the trend which was begun by the 2001 Bozart Dollhouse continues with more and more designers creating miniature dollhouses in modern architectural styles.
The latest to receive some attention is the Clearview; created by UK designer Elaine Shaw and her company, MIAIM. (miniature design and architecture).
The Clearview is a four story dollhouse measuring just over 30 inches tall and 31 inches wide. The house features such modern details as double glass doors, sliding glass doors, balconies, a roof terrace and an obviously contemporary style and design. Clearview House is a quality product made in the UK to the highest standards. Their houses are made for collectors over the age of 14; they are not intended as toys.
Dimensions: The base of Clearview is 80cms (31 1/2") wide. The House is 77cms (Appx 30 1/4") wide, 79.5cms (Appx 31") high and 46cms (Appx18") deep.
