The problem is the height of the door and windows. An internal insert could raise the floor so that figures inside wouldn't look like children and an external step at the bottom of the door would give the illusion of the door being shorter than it actually is. If the whole size of the door bothers you, you could create a greyboard or card 'frame' insert to reduce he size of the door. Not a ideal as having one the 'right' size, but would mean you could use it.
