Which Architectural 3D Physical Model is right for your project? 

MODEL TYPES

With a wealth of expertise, Joanna James offers high-quality architectural and landscape models that help building projects in the UK with planning and marketing. In addition to traditional architectural model-making techniques, our models are made with the newest technologies, such as 3D printing, CNC milling, and laser cutting, to replicate a wide range of materials, finishes, and textures, including stone, metal, grass, and water.

Any scale can be used for a model; the most common scales for landscape models are 1:500, 1:1000, 1:1250, and 1:2500. The scales for architectural models include 1:50, 1:75, 1:100, 1:120, 1:150, 1:200, 1:250, 1:300, 1:500, 1:750, and 1:1000.

Architectural models can include lighting that illuminates each plot or flat or area of the site.

Not only can the more conventional square or rectangular format be utilised as the base, but also shapes like oval and circular. We can add different finishes to custom plinths that we build to match your marketing package.

In the early stages of the design process it is very useful to experiment with tactile shapes and spatial forms. This is a quick to build solution with the capacity to follow the dynamic changes of the creative workflow. These models are characterized by simplicity with our usual emphasis of high-quality finish.

Presentation Models

Presentation Models

The presentation of a new project is strongly supported by a physical model, that showcases the outcome of the creative process in a way that is clearly expressed and easily understood. These models have a sculpture-like character with every detail of the given scale, using materials such as wood or monochrome acrylic.
