Collection: Little Building Co.

Little Building Co.: wooden model kits of the world’s great buildings, made in Australia.

Little Building Co. designs, develops and manufactures architectural model kits in Brisbane, Australia, with the look and feel of models from an architect’s own studio. Each is researched from original drawings and photographs, made from timber, MDF and acrylic, and comes with clear stage-by-stage instructions. Sales support the Foundations, Trusts and Estates that preserve the architects’ legacies. We’ve been curating design-led pieces since 2009.
