Ben Taggart Model Houses

Miniature Architectural Wonders

Ben Taggart creates intricate and detailed house portraits, transforming the familiar into the remarkable in miniature.

These hand-made models of any type of building are presented in their own box-fame, making them the perfect gift to adorn your wall. On the background around the model a title can be printed with the name of the house, and any other personalised text required. The construction of these truly bespoke architectural models can take several weeks or even months depending on the complexity of the building.

Ben also specialises in architectural models and drawings of lost or forgotten buildings for museums and collectors, along with working on projects researching house histories. The idea of producing scale models as house portraits began after creating models for film and television and grew out of a passion for period architecture.

Founding Modelhouses.co.uk over 25 years ago Ben’s work has brought him together with many wonderful people, the owners of fantastic houses who share his passion for architecture. “I’m not just creating decorative ornaments” says Ben, “I believe that these models can express a vision which inspires us to look more closely at the detail which ordinarily passes unnoticed. When constructing my model house fronts, I find forgotten rhythms in the architecture; the alignment of windows or the proportions of the property, which the owners might not have noticed. It’s striking that when the building is brought down to a miniature size, people see the beauty of the house more clearly.”
