Oh wow. That is amazing. How small are the rooms/houses?

The houses I do are 1" to 1'. That's 1/12 scale. There's a lot of half scale and quarter inch scale now, much more than there used to be and if you're short on room (and who isn't?), then that saves a lot of room. My preferences and big fingers make 1/12 scale almost a necessity. LOL
The big house I was working on ended up being almost 6ft long and 27" deep. It had a laundry room, kitchen, dining room, living room, sunroom, library, sleeping porch, 2 bedrooms (one with a walk-in closet) and 2 full baths, an attic, a hobby room, and 3 center halls. Even though that was such a huge house, I felt the rooms were still a little cramped. I was working on it at a friend's house and when it came home unfinished, I had to break it down until I can afford to move to a bigger place.
The house I am currently building is only about 3' long, but has only 2 rooms on the fist floor, making them much larger.
You can fit a lot into a small dollhouse room, even one that's only 9" x 8" and even allowing for not having a 4th wall. I just chose large rooms this time because I knew what I wanted to fit into them and I measured everything before the rooms were even built.
I personally am not trying to create masterpieces or wow people by having running faucets in my house or 10,000 shingles on the roof. What I want to make are rooms so comfortable they will make the viewer want to come in and not leave.
The rooms in the Glencroft are very small, maybe 11" x 8" for the kitchen. In the large house I'm building, the kitchen is 15" x 14". That makes a huge difference in terms of all the stuff I can put in there.
The houses themselves range from what in real life we'd call tiny homes to houses large enough to be McMansions in real life. It's all in what you want, how much you want to spend, how much room you have, how much work you want to do, and what you like.
