Built for the architecture student.
Straight-talking guides, checklists and product kits — everything we wish someone had told us on our first day of studio.
You start school
Overwhelmed by kit lists. We simplify what actually matters.
You hit studio
Long nights. Sharp deadlines. The right tools save hours.
You present
Clean models, crisp drawings, calm confidence at jury.
What every first-year needs.
Print it, tick it, bring it to studio. This is the minimum viable kit — no fluff.
Studio survival guide.
Six lessons that separate exhausted students from confident ones.
Buy in kits, not pieces
One trip, one budget, no midnight surprises.
Always own a spare blade
Blades dull fast — dull blades ruin models.
Keep a butter paper roll
Fastest way to explore ideas without commitment.
Label your steel ruler
In studio, tools disappear. Labels return.
Two glues, not one
PVA for wood, super glue for detail. Never confuse them.
Photograph everything
Iteration is your portfolio. Shoot every model.
Common mistakes beginners make.
- 01Cutting on the desk instead of a mat.
- 02Using markers on the final board without testing bleed.
- 03Gluing before dry-fitting the assembly.
- 04Skipping the base — a good model needs a good base.
- 05Buying the cheapest blade set. It costs more later.
- 06Working without natural light for scale-1:200 detail.
