Want to commission me?
Let’s talk.

Got something in mind? We design, source and build original LEGO® brick artworks on commission — for special occasions, milestones, anniversaries, gifts, offices, or that awkward empty spot on the mantelpiece. Every commission is a true one-off — designed and built entirely by hand, with real care and an eye for the details.

01 / DESIGN ONLY

A design you can build.

A custom digital model developed from your brief. Your quote specifies the files, renders and other deliverables. Building instructions and physical testing are additional unless included in that scope.

02 / DESIGN + PHYSICAL BUILD

A model made for you.

Custom design followed by sourcing, assembly and an agreed handover. Design, parts, sourcing, assembly and delivery are itemised, so you can see what each stage costs.

What we make on commission

Anything that can be built from bricks — plus plenty of things you'd swear couldn't be. Here are the briefs we take on most often.

Occasions

Anniversaries, weddings, milestones

The house you got married in. The street you grew up on. The skyline your partner crossed the world to leave. A piece that captures a year, a place or a person in something solid enough to sit on a shelf and outlast the occasion.

Architectural portraits

Your house, your street, your shopfront

From a photograph, a memory or a set of plans: a small-scale brick portrait of a building that matters to you. Micro and trophy scales fit a shelf; larger pieces command the foyer.

Workplace & gifts

Office centrepieces, awards, send-offs

Trophy-scale pieces for the lobby, the boardroom, or a leaving gift nobody else at the office will think of. Long-service tributes, brand portraits, milestone numbers rendered in brick.

Tabletop

Custom dungeons & campaign sets

A bespoke dungeon, tavern, ship or city block built at minifigure scale for your own table. Modular, swappable, designed to be played on — not just photographed.

Memorial

Memorial pieces, with care

A brick portrait of a place a loved one cared about, or a small build that holds a memory — designed in close, careful consultation. Always quietly handled, never rushed.

Surprise me

Something we haven't built yet

Our favourite briefs are the ones we've never had before. If it can be designed, sourced, built and posted, we're all ears. Send the idea — and we'll tell you, honestly, whether we can do it justice.

02

How a commission works

We agree the design scope and fee before design begins. Physical production is a separate stage, confirmed before parts are ordered.

Step 01

Brief & quote

Tell us the subject, intended use, available space, budget and any deadline. We discuss feasibility, then agree the scope, deliverables, revision rounds, price and timeline. Design work begins after you approve that scope.

Step 02

Design

Happy with the quote? We move to design in BrickLink Studio, and you'll see digital renders before a single brick is ordered. Your quote sets out the design scope, deliverables and included revision rounds. Additional changes are agreed and quoted before work continues.

Step 03

Handover or production

For design-only projects, we prepare the digital deliverables listed in your quote. For a physical build, we confirm the additional costs for sourcing genuine LEGO bricks and assembly before production begins.

Step 04

Deliver

Digital files are delivered as agreed. For physical models, collection, delivery or shipping is arranged to suit the build and included in your production quote. Instructions, testing and supporting materials are supplied where specified.

03

Design fees & commission pricing

Quoted to the brief

Send your reference images, preferred size and intended use for an individual quote.

For a physical model: assembly labour is quoted separately from design. Genuine LEGO® bricks are charged at cost, plus a 15% sourcing and management fee on the parts. Delivery is quoted separately. Building instructions, physical testing and any additional deliverables are included only where specified in your quote.

Materials & provenance

Genuine LEGO® bricks, carefully sourced.

We use genuine LEGO® bricks, sourced through BrickLink, Rebrickable suppliers and authorised LEGO® retailers. We keep a full parts list for every commission.

We purchase as an independent studio, rather than an authorised LEGO® reseller.
