Your home, petite. ✦ We turn a few photos of your house into custom plans for a small brick model of it: the same roofline, windows and colors, on a base about 10 inches square. It's a sweet afternoon build and a keepsake that fits on a desk, a mantel or a windowsill.
What you'll receive
- A personalized, illustrated instruction booklet (PDF, about 40 pages), one clear step per page with the new pieces highlighted
- 3D step-by-step instructions you can turn and zoom on a phone, tablet or computer
- A complete parts list with every piece's color, count and part number, plus ready-made upload files for popular online brick shops
- Studio renderings of your finished model
- A private web page with everything in one place
How it works
- Place your order, then send us a few photos of the home from your order page.
- We design a petite brick model of your home by hand.
- Your plans arrive on your own private web page.
- Order the bricks with the parts list, then build it, step by step.
The petite edition
- About 400 pieces (the example shown is 428)
- 32 × 32 stud base, about 10 in (25 cm) square, and about 3 in tall
- About 2–3 hours to build; no building experience needed
- We keep what makes the house yours (roofline, windows, colors, a favorite tree) and simplify the smallest details so the model stays sturdy and buildable. Want more detail? Our full-size Classic edition sits on a 48 × 48 base with 700 to 1,200 pieces.
Photos we need
A few clear photos are enough: the front (straight on, if you can), each front corner and the back. Close-ups of special details help too. Old family snapshots and real-estate listing photos often work well.
Good to know
- Digital plans: bricks are not included. Every model uses standard pieces in current colors, and we check that each piece can be ordered before your plans are delivered.
- Each model is designed by hand, so timing depends on the house and on how busy the studio is. We'll confirm the timing when you order.
A one-of-a-kind gift
Housewarmings, closing gifts, the house you grew up in, the grandparents' home, or just because.
