These dollhouses are a far cry from the traditional Victorian models many of us played with as kids. 

British property developers Cathedral Group commissioned 20 architects to build these miniature houses, which will be put up for auction at Bonhams in London on Nov. 11. The proceeds will benefit KIDS, a British charity that provides support to children with disabilities. 

Each of the designers incorporated an element that would make life easier for a child with a disability. 

"They were told go and be creative, and they have been, amazingly so," Martyn Evans, Cathedral Group's creative director, said to Wired.

Bidding has begun online, with many designs running at steep prices. Zaha Hadid's foldable dollhouse is far and away the most expensive, with a current bidding rate of 10,500 pounds, or roughly $16,700.
