City Park Café - This model served as a testbed to validate a lot of the new ideas to be incorporated in the LEGO Friends line and for that reason remains close to my heart. The diner-esque style of the Café was born from from my love of 50s Americana; it's the kind of place you could meet your girl for a slice of pie and a chocolate malt.

Olivia's Tree House. The 'hang-out' of our five LEGO Friends characters, Olivia's Tree House really taps into girls' need for a secret place where adults aren't allowed and secrets can be shared.

Olivia's House - Winner of the Toy of the Year award at the 2012 Nuremburg Toy Fair, Olivia's house delivers on a girl's need to customise and accessorise her play. All the rooms are modular allowing them to be rearranged and the furniture within to be placed as you like. The flagship of the LEGO Friends 2012 launch, this model is perhaps the best example of how insights into girls' play were translated into products that meet their needs.
