Architectural Scale Models

We create architectural scale models for client presentations, concept design, design competitions, and urban planning. Our models are used by architects, developers, and designers to clearly communicate form, scale, and intent across all stages of a project.

Built using timber, acrylic, and high-fidelity fabrication techniques, our models range from abstract massing studies to highly detailed representations featuring complex geometries and integrated lighting, tailored precisely to each design brief.

Architectural Scale Models for Property Development & Design

Architectural scale models are a powerful tool for communicating design intent, scale, and spatial relationships at every stage of a project. Used by architects, property developers, planners, and design teams, these models provide a clear, tangible representation of a proposal that drawings and screens alone often cannot achieve.

For client presentations, architectural models help stakeholders quickly understand massing, proportions, and context. They are especially effective when presenting complex or large-scale developments, where clarity and confidence are critical to decision-making. In design competitions, physical models remain a proven way to stand out—allowing juries to assess form, craftsmanship, and architectural quality at a glance.

Architectural scale models are also widely used in urban planning and masterplanning, where context, topography, and the relationship between buildings and public space must be clearly expressed. Abstract massing models can test ideas early in the design process, while more detailed presentation models can support approvals, reviews, and public exhibitions.

We produce architectural models in a range of materials and finishes, including timber, acrylic, and high-fidelity fabricated components. Depending on the brief, models can be abstract or highly detailed, incorporate complex geometries, and include integrated lighting to highlight key design features or enhance presentation impact.

Choosing the right scale and level of detail is essential. Larger scales allow for greater detail and material expression, while smaller scales are ideal for showing broader context and urban relationships. Each model is tailored to suit its purpose, audience, and environment—whether for a boardroom presentation, exhibition, or studio review.

If you are considering a physical model for a current or upcoming project, we’re happy to discuss options and advise on scale, materials, and approach.
