I think that Bianchi makes an 18 inch frame.

I remember hearing about a "Flying dutchman" frame in an 18" size.
They used a track fork crown and cantilever brakes to get extra wheel
clearance.

A friend of mine in Houston had a custom frame made in a 16" size.  She
uses 700C wheels (27" do not fit), but normal brakes.  The top tube is
not level.  It slopes down a couple of inches from the headset to the
seat.  My friend likes this frame a lot.  It was made by Ray
Gasirowski, owner of Romic frames in Houston.
