Custom sets from your pictures

Turn your pet into real bricks.

Send a picture, say what you picture, and our designer builds it brick by brick: a set you can order, with every part real and every step in the manual.

The Founder's Kit reserves your first kit and gives you the workbench for life. Nothing to upload until the site opens.

02 What you can make

One picture. Four ways to build it.

A sculpture

A pet, a person or an object, built round with slopes and curves.

A mosaic

The picture itself in studs, standing up or lying flat, for a wall or a shelf.

A scene

A moment with figures and surroundings, like the family on the cliffs.

A house

Your home or a building from photos or a floor plan, with real doors, windows and stairs.

07 Our promise

You see it before we make it.

Preview first

When the site opens you see your set in 3D, step by step, before anything is ordered.

Change colours, parts and pieces in the workbench, or ask the designer to try again.

Real parts only

Every piece is a part that exists, checked so the model holds together.

08 FAQ

Questions, answered.

What does the Founder’s Kit give me?

Your first kit, paid for in full, and lifetime access to the Nooks workbench: saving, exporting, importing your own models, and the photo-to-brick designer. You also get in the day the site opens. It costs $225, the flat price of a kit.

When does the site open?

We are finishing it now. Kit holders get an email the day it opens, before anyone else.

When does my kit ship?

Founder's Kits ship from late November to early December 2026. If that date slips, we email you a new one before it does, and you can cancel for a full refund. See the terms of sale.

What happens once it opens?

You upload a picture and describe what you picture. Our designer builds it, you preview it for free, change what you like, and order the kit when you are happy.

How big can a kit be?

Every kit is designed to fit one flat price, so most land at a few hundred to about 1,500 pieces and a few tens of centimetres. If you want something much bigger, like a wall-size mosaic, we will quote it separately.

How much is a kit?

A kit is $225 flat, whatever its size. The Founder's Kit covers your first one. We order every part for you and send it as one kit with a printed manual.

Do you take my pictures now?

No. There is nothing to upload until the site opens. At checkout the store takes your email and payment, and that is all.

What pictures work best?

One clear, well-lit photo of a person, pet, object or building. For a house, a floor plan works too.

Are these real bricks?

Yes. Every piece is a standard part that exists, and you get a parts list and a step-by-step manual. See the notice below.
