Architectural Services
I build handcrafted physical architectural models from plans supplied by architects, developers, and other clients. These are real, static objects, not computer generated renderings or digital 3D models. I am a model maker rather than an architect.

Choosing the Right Approach

A project intended for a boardroom presentation can have a different emphasis from a piece made for public display. The purpose and audience help shape the conversation.

Handcrafted Foam-Core Architectural Study Models
Study models use a restrained, monochromatic presentation. Foam core and tag board can describe building masses, stepped contours, and the relationship between a structure and its surrounding ground. Stylized trees may help communicate scale.
- Ideal For:Early design discussions, massing comparisons, and conversations about site contours
Full-Color Architectural Presentation Models
Presentation models introduce color, smooth contours, hardscapes, retaining walls, roadways, and landscaping. Depending on the project, details such as railings, people, and vehicles can be included.
- Ideal For:Client presentations, proposed developments, and planning or review board conversations
Museum-Level Basswood Architectural Models
Museum level models can use basswood and other harder materials. Acetate windows and lighting may be incorporated when appropriate to the particular commission.
- Ideal For:Display settings and detailed architectural presentations
Presentation Bases with Plexiglass Lids
A presentation base with a plexiglass lid provides a way to display a physical model while helping protect it from contact and damage in public areas.
- Ideal For:Public displays, meetings, and longer term presentations
