Hiltl Cottages. Zurich






These tiny cottages, with steep roofs to shed the snow in ski season, are made from business cards of a great vegetarian restaurant, an institution, in Zurich. Jane and I ate there with Christina Ruegg's brother and his now-wife, a couple years ago. I wish there were such a place in Atlanta or even NYC or SFO.

Like the Toblerone tinybuilding, they were made for Jane's SDOTY Party.

The tinybuildings are *tiny* - about 1/2 inch square, and 3/4 inch tall. Because they're so small, I made two of them so they could protect each other....

As a 'thank you' for introducing us to this wonderful food place, I made
Christina's brother a replica of the Hiltl building. It is the most complex tinybuilding I've ever made. I'm hoping to get photos of it from him, because the ones I had were lost in an earlier computer meltdown.

i can honestly say these are my favorite buildings of yours. the fact that there are two of them and that they have such a wonderful relationship to each other makes it. plus, their roofs give them a great personality.

but please don't tell the other buildings about these being my favorite. i'd hate for them to become jealous.
