We are delighted to welcome you to this unique collection of miniature houses and rooms, and we are pleased to present Mark's latest studio work: Birch Hill, Paradisum and Symphony.
History
Twenty-five years ago, Mark Turpin started production on Chateau du Bois and launched a new series of one-of-a-kind miniature houses and structures. Mark expanded his initial plan for houses and mansions in miniature, to include miniature art museums, shops, orangeries, conservatories and room settings. Mark's work is now displayed in private collections and exhibited in miniatures museums.
Miniature collectors and enthusiasts have visited this website since 1999. The volume of work contained herein demonstrates Mark's imaginative and innovative designs and craftsmanship. Please enjoy the above galleries and visit again for the latest updates.

Collecting miniatures opens a world of possibilities unlimited by style or period. We produce one-of-a-kind, architecturally themed structures and spaces, wherein collectors and miniaturists can achieve their own interior decorating dreams.
Rather than replicating existing houses, we offer unique new designs, and adaptations or interpretations of various styles. The gallery pages above, Classical, Traditional, and Contemporary, along with our Room Settings, also include a few glimpses of interiors furnished by the collectors.
Miniatures in these scales (1:12 and 1:24) offer collectors and hobbyists a chance to furnish new houses or rooms of their own – and then redecorate or rearrange the furniture on a whim.
For do-it-yourselfers, we offer completed structures with finished exteriors and unfinished interiors, ready to decorate and furnish.
Mark produces original Room Settings for collectors who have limited display space.
"Aqualina, Mark's extraordinary museum structure, challenged my artistic senses to furnish it with the best. Therein: Replicas of Picasso, Botero, Fornasetti, Sabino and originals of contemporary sculptors and painters. As patrons of miniature art circulate through the galleries, they can rest in the members' lounge on the top floor." 
On Bridgeview:
"This is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. I love it so much and the roof top is to die for. I could never have imagined how wonderful it would turn out. I knew I would love it but this is more than I ever expected. Thank you so much!"
"Mark Turpin's stunning creation, Limelight gratified this interior designer's fondest themes — Art Deco, a curving staircase and a mirror. Mark created the perfect stage for my exact replica of the piano in Savoy Hotel, London.
"As always, his structures are a joy on which to work."
"My pride and joy, Mark Turpin's City Loft, was furnished with personal enjoyments in mind.
A piano keyboard, many books, recliner, pizza... and on the work table near a window, we show a miniature work-in-progress of my most cherished structure, Aqualina."
"Sarayi became a reality after I bought a harem group of Jamie Carrington's figures and called Mark with a plea to design something Moroccan to house them. I never dreamed he would create such a magnificent and appropriate dwelling, but I was more than thrilled with the final structure. Mark's inimitable vivid imagination has housed the sheik and his women admirably."
