Architecture and home

Think in three dimensions.

Floor plans and scale houses for display, play and learning how a layout works in three dimensions.

5 links / Hosts: Printables

A floor plan is hard to read if you do not look at plans often. A small model on a table shows how rooms connect in a way a flat sheet cannot, which makes these prints useful as well as nice to look at.

The links here cover several uses: floorplans at a toy-play scale, scale houses for a shelf or diorama, and an example of converting a flat plan into a printed model.

These are models, not construction documents. They show shape and layout. They do not carry structural information, and nothing on this site is construction advice.

Miniature house models

Small houses for shelves, dioramas or tabletop scenes. Tiny features test your nozzle, so try a smaller layer height if details blur.

Every link goes to an outside site, where the files, images and license live. Drawings show the type of object, not the listed model.

02 / Before you print

What to check first

Decide whether the print is for display, play or study, because that sets the size and the level of detail you need.
Check the scale on the host page, and work out how large the finished model will be on your bed.
Expect fine details to blur at small sizes. Thin walls and tiny window frames may need a larger scale.
Remember that a printed model is not a construction document. Do not take measurements from it for building work.
