Brick sets of real places

Your house.
Your town.
Your campus.
In bricks.

Type an address, a zip code or a university. We read the real building shapes from open map data and turn them into a brick set: a box cover, a parts list and a step-by-step instruction book. The digital set is free.

Make my set

Pick a place

1

A home address

We look up the building outline for that address and build the house.

2

A US zip code

We find the town for that zip and build its best-known buildings as a town set.

3

A university

The campus buildings in their real places. Two campuses are in the beta.

Privacy: we use an address only to find the building outline and make your model. We do not save it with your email, sell it or use it for anything else.

How it works

  1. Real shapes. Building outlines, floors and roof types come from OpenStreetMap, the open map made by volunteers. Zip codes and addresses are matched with US Census Bureau data.
  2. Real bricks. Each outline is laid on a stud grid, raised floor by floor and cut into standard bricks you can buy anywhere.
  3. Honest gaps. Where the map doesn't know something (floors, roof, colour), we estimate and tell you so in the book.
