Madurodam in Holland is a huge model village (sic) which, alongside the expected tourist spot recreations, features swathes of unremarkable polder land, deserted train stations, drab office car parks and light industrial estates.

But I wanted to use ideas of the miniature to talk about architecture specifically and an idea of contemporary UK houses as being miniatures themselves.
