Little Building Co. Architectural Model Kits

Little Building Co. — great architecture, a few evenings, and some PVA glue.

The Story

Marcus Bree’s Brisbane studio turns original drawings and archive photographs into laser-cut timber kits that feel like an architect’s working model. Wright, Mies, Utzon, Scott and Herzog & de Meuron are all here, at scales from 1:100 to 1:1200.
