Also, I'd like a human-sized equivalent of all the little climbable steps and ceiling-height walkways and in-wall cubbies. What fun. :)

I've seen similar houses before but these were actually designed by Architects. They are very nice.

My new house has a sun room so maybe they'll be happy with that.
They also had a fox that lived in/under the conservatory.
Oddly, the house didn't smell.
