Custom brick-building plans & kits

Your special place.
Built brick by brick.

Send us a few photos of the place you love. We design a one-of-a-kind brick model of it, with illustrated step-by-step instructions and a complete parts list. Choose the digital plans and order the bricks yourself, or a complete kit with every brick included.

How it works

From your photos to your shelf

Four simple steps turn the place you love into something you can build.

  1. 1

    Send your photos

    A few clear photos of the home, front and back, plus anything special you’d like included.

  2. 2

    We design your model

    We design a custom brick model from scratch, true to its roofline, windows and colors.

  3. 3

    Receive your plans or kit

    Your booklet, 3D instructions, renderings and parts list arrive as a digital download. With a complete kit, the bricks ship to you too.

  4. 4

    Get the bricks & build

    Complete kits include every brick. Digital plans don’t, so upload the parts list to order them. Then build your home, step by step.

The whole process

Designed from your photos

The home you know, in bricks

Every model is designed by hand from photos of a real home. Pick a house to see the photo beside its model.
