These deliciously artisan gingerbread homes pay respect to lovely mid-century modern design.

We love gingerbread, and the way it can set the tone for the holidays. The ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and cloves combine to create a heavenly scent that feels like the embodiment of cozy.

From decorating gingerbread cookies to (awkwardly) assembling a gingerbread house, we find it all very fun. But does the modest gingerbread home need a makeover?

As lovers of architecture, we wondered what it would be like to see those houses made in the style of classic, mid-century modern design.

With some old fashioned artistry plus the magic of modern technology, we created an entire series that celebrates mid-century homes, all made from gingerbread, icing, and snowy decor. The results feel pretty magical as well, like stepping into a delicious snow globe, ready to cozy up by the gingerbread fireplace.
