Ready for next-level building blocks?
ARCKIT is a freeform architectural model building kit that allows you to physically explore designs and bring your ideas to life with speed and precision. Based on modern building techniques and a 1.2m/4ft grid to scale, the ‘click and connect’ modular components make it possible to create a vast range of structures that can be quickly assembled, endlessly modified and finished to perfection.
Meet the Arckit Components That Spark Imagination!
-
Standard Floors
Standard floors use round holes and square sockets to connect walls and other floors. Bolt both ends. Stack floors for builds. No underside links with Building Plates.
-
Extended Floors
Extended floors currently include curves angles and large floor plates. These not only allow you to build in new ways but also provide a sturdy base for your model.
-
Standard Walls
Walls and Clear Walls add structure and a professional finish. Low walls offer flexibility, while columns provide essential support for open or load-bearing areas.
-
Roofing
Add finishing touches with dormer windows and angled roofs.
-
Tiles
Tiles can add another level of finish creating a professional looking model.
-
Stairs
Stairs add depth and realism, giving your 3D models a polished finish.

How Do Our Arckit Workshops Work?
The workshop unfolds in three structured phases: education, creation, and presentation. Initially, participants engage with the fundamental principles of sustainability in architecture. This foundational knowledge sets the stage for the next phase, where participants are 'recruited' by a top architecture firm. Tasked by a 'top-secret' client, they apply their new skills to design and build innovative, eco-friendly buildings with Arckit. As the workshop concludes, each group presents their architectural models, simulating a real-world client meeting.
The Arckit Sustainability Studio goes beyond traditional education by immersing participants in a practical experience that not only teaches sustainable architecture but also inspires them to apply these principles in their daily lives and communities. This session is not just about learning; it’s about inspiring real change and empowering individuals to make a positive impact on the environment.
