Available on Request – What it means
This city is planned to join our regular GRAND collection, but it hasn’t gone through the full CitySculpt preparation yet.When this city is chosen, it moves to the top of our timeline and the CitySculpt preparation begins immediately. Once completed, the model will join the permanent collection. If you’d like to see the exact area the model will cover, just get in touch and we’ll share the details.
Available City
Our available cities are part of the CITYFRAMES collection. Each mapped area has been carefully curated to include the most iconic landmarks and defining urban features, resulting in a highly recognizable and balanced representation of the city.
Compared to the CUBE format, GRAND models are produced at a larger scale and cover a significantly wider urban area. This allows the model to capture more of the city’s layout while maintaining precise architectural detail.
The scale is intentionally selected to provide the optimal balance between coverage and detail. Most collection models are created at scales between 1:2000 and 1:3500, ensuring a cohesive and refined city composition.
Custom City
A Custom City is individually engineered around your chosen location. You define the exact area and scale. We build the model specifically for you.
Using our proprietary process, we generate highly detailed digital 3D data based on the latest satellite imagery, spatial datasets, and advanced modeling techniques.
Scale selection is fully flexible:
- Larger scale ratios such as 1:5000 allow you to include a wider urban area.
- Smaller scale ratios such as 1:1000 focus on a more compact area while significantly increasing architectural detail.
After your order is placed, we begin the dedicated data creation process. This phase is complex and can take up to 3 weeks depending on current data production volume.
Before production begins, you will receive a digital preview for approval.
Please note that previews cannot be provided before an order is placed. The digital modeling process is time intensive and is carried out specifically for your selected area after purchase.
About the GRAND
The GRAND is our largest and most exclusive city model. A statement piece crafted to last for decades. Each edition is individually numbered, engraved, and signed to certify authenticity.
Created through our CitySculpt process, every GRAND begins with satellite 3D data, then refined by hand to capture the unique character of the city.
Dimensions
129 x 79 cm | 50.8 x 31.1 inches
Height varies from city to city.
Materials
Each model is crafted from a biodegradable, corn-based material and defined by its matte, plaster-like texture. This carefully considered surface interacts with light to reveal subtle depth and detail, giving the city a calm and sculptural presence.
Combined with solid wood frames and a range of refined finishes, the materials are selected not only for quality, but for their ability to complement a wide variety of interiors.
3D Data
Every model begins with carefully selected, high-quality data, forming the foundation for everything that follows. Through our CITYSCULPT process, this complex information is refined and interpreted to create a clear, cohesive representation of the city.
Shaped by both technology and craftsmanship, the result is a level of detail that feels intentional and considered, capturing not just the structure, but the essence of each place.

Packaging
Every GRAND model arrives in a custom-built wooden crate, designed for secure, worldwide shipping. Mounted on a disposable pallet, the packaging is robust and thoughtfully engineered, requiring no tools to open.
Once the lid is lifted, the model is revealed in full, ready to be taken out and admired from the very first moment.
Mounting
The GRAND can be displayed either on a wall or placed on a surface. When wall-mounted, you can choose between a horizontal or upright orientation. Each solid wood frame comes with integrated brackets to support both options.
Depending on the city, the GRAND weighs between 10–15 kg. For safe installation, we recommend using strong screws with suitable wall plugs. If you are unsure, please seek professional assistance to ensure secure mounting.
Care
Caring for your GRAND is simple. A gentle stream of air removes dust from the model, while the frame can be maintained with a soft cloth. Learn more in our Cleaning Guide.
