English term or phrase: gingerbread architecture
In architecture and design, elaborately detailed embellishment, either lavish or superfluous. Though the term is occasionally applied to such highly detailed and decorative styles as the Rococo, it usually refers to the hand-carved and -sawn wood ornamentation of the Carpenter Gothic style.

Zanima me ovaj poslednji slucaj, "hand-carved and sawn wood ornamentation". Znam da je ova vrsta arhitekture vezana i za viktorijanski stil, ali se u mom tekstu radi o Skandinaviji, gde postoje kucice sa takvim izrezbarenim ornamentima.
