Their first house
For a son or daughter who just got the keys. It goes on the shelf on day one and is still there when they move.
Your home, as a mini brick set
Give them the house they’ll never forget.
We turn photos of a home into plans for a brick-built model, down to the porch and the chimney, with instructions made for that house alone.
Free to start. Plans from $149. Give one as a gift
Made for the people who’ll keep it
A house holds a family’s story. This is a way to give it back to them, small enough for a shelf.
The house they grew up in
For parents who are selling, or a family whose house is gone. Old photos are enough, and the whole family can build it together.
Your clients at closing
For agents who want a closing gift that stays in the house longer than the champagne.
Keep it a surprise
You don’t need to ask them for photos. Listing photos, a few pictures from the curb or old family prints are enough to design from, and everything stays in your account until you give it.
How it works
Like the instruction books you remember, except the house on the cover is real.
- 3–5x photos
Step 1: Send us the house
Create an account and upload a few photos. Front and sides are best; listing photos and old prints work too.
- 1x preview
Step 2: See it in bricks
An AI preview shows how it could look in brick at every size. Ask for changes until it looks like home.
- 1x payment
Step 3: Order and approve
Order the plans for the size you like. We design the real model brick by brick, for you to approve. Until you do, you can change the size or cancel for full store credit.
- 1x quiet afternoon
Step 4: Build it
Order the bricks with your parts list from BrickLink, Wobrick or another seller, then follow step-by-step instructions made for that house.
Four sizes
Pico is about the size of a deck of cards and nano a paperback: the shape and colours of the house, small enough to give anywhere. Micro sits on a desk or a shelf. Midi is a centrepiece, with porch rails, window frames and the real roof pitch. Here is the same house at all four.

Questions
How do I order without spoiling the surprise?
Use your own email and upload listing photos, a few pictures from the curb, or old family prints. You don’t need to ask them for anything, and everything stays in your account until you give it.
What do I get?
The plans for your house: step-by-step building instructions made for that house alone, and its parts list. They’re on your house page once you approve the design. You order the bricks yourself from the seller you like, so you choose between genuine and compatible bricks and what you spend on them.
What does it cost?
Plans are $149 for micro and $399 for midi, paid when you order. The bricks are separate: you buy them from BrickLink, Wobrick or another seller. Pico and nano, the two smallest sizes, will be priced soon.
Where do I get the bricks?
Export your parts list for the seller you like: a BrickLink wanted list, to buy new or used parts from BrickLink’s sellers, a Wobrick list for Wobrick’s bulk upload, or a Rebrickable CSV for Rebrickable and the sellers that take it. Upload it, check out, and the bricks come straight to you.
Can I see the house before I pay?
Yes. Once you have an account, you can upload photos and see a free AI preview of how it could look in brick, at every size. You pay when you order the plans, and until you approve the real design you can cancel and keep the full amount as store credit. The preview sets the feel; the design is what your plans build.
Can I get a refund?
Paying starts real design work, so we don’t refund payments to your card. Until you approve your final design you can cancel for any reason and everything you paid becomes store credit, good for 12 months on any house. After you approve, your plans are finished and yours to keep.
Are these the bricks I grew up with?
They can be. Your plans use standard studded building bricks, so you can build with genuine parts from BrickLink or with compatible bricks from sellers like Wobrick. Mini Brick Home is an independent studio and isn’t affiliated with, sponsored or endorsed by the LEGO Group.
All questions. The full payment and store credit terms are on the policies page.
