casa estilo gingerbread
Explanation:
I think you should have given more context. It can be a house made of gingerbread biscuits. Or if the text talks about a real house, I think the term
"casa estilo gingerbread" is more suitable.
gingerbread, in architecture and design, elaborately detailed embellishment, either lavish or superfluous.
