MoArch miniature collectibles are basswood buildable models created for the Modern-Architecture aficionado.

These basswood collectibles are meant to be built from the ground up, in order to create an intimate connection between the architect, you, and the product, the building.

MoArch miniature collectibles make for great showpieces to display in your office or on your living room coffee table. With over 50 different models to build, from the Historic New England Gropius House to the Bacardi Building in Miami, Florida, this series is sure to have everyone’s favorite Modern structure.

This Project was awarded the Procaccini Award for best Design thesis of 2021.
