Terracotta building ideas

I’ve been thinking of doing an old Asian themed village and thought to myself “what can I do with the terracotta blocks”. Then it hit me. What if you could make terracotta stairs, slabs, and a new item shingles. Recipe for the “shingles” would be 2 terracotta slabs make 4 shingles. Would be interesting to see what people could come up with if they had more building options for the terracotta instead of just a block form.
