George Ducharme
Private Patron

For a truly unique museum quality gift for a special person or contributor, have a treasured architectural façade or full building commemorated into an extraordinary full color or all wood miniature. Made by hand with laser quality details, we combine 19th and 21st century craftsmanship to create an extraordinarily unique piece of miniature architectural art. Using these techniques, one or one hundred models can be built keeping the details consistent and precise. 

We can interpret your custom gift in all solid hardwoods with ultra-fine finish veneers of walnut, birch, cherry, mahogany and maple, which are used to represent the various architectural materials of your building. We can custom match your exterior finishes in full color exactly as they appear on the real building and also match the scale and level of detail to meet any budgetary restrictions. We have even created mailbox and dollhouse scaled versions of clients’ private homes.

Having CAD drawing capabilities on staff, our exceptional team is even able to assemble a finished gift model given just renderings, sketches, incomplete drawings or a photograph. Of course, we can build from blueprints and CAD drawings, too. We can add internal or remote LED illumination.

The finished desktop or wall hanging version of your treasured building is a gift that will become an instant family heirloom as soon as it is presented.
