About Tiny Hometown

Hi, I'm Zack. I plan transit by day, so I spend a lot of time looking at maps of how cities fit together. Tiny Hometown started when I printed my own block in Yaletown and everyone who saw it asked for theirs.

Now you pick any neighbourhood on the site, and I print it as a small 3D model: every building, street, park and shoreline, in matte plant-based PLA, framed and ready to hang. It's a gift for the place you met, the first apartment, or the town you grew up in.

Pictures are renders made from real map data. Photos of finished pieces are coming.

How each model gets made

I do every step myself, in my studio in Yaletown, on my own printers. Nothing is outsourced.

  1. You design it. Pick the area on the site, the size, the palette and the frame. The order saves the exact map data from that moment.
  2. I print it. I turn the map into print files and print it in up to four colours, green parks and little trees included.
  3. I check it. Every model is checked by hand against your preview before it goes in a frame. Spot something off in the preview? Reply to your receipt and I'll check before printing.
  4. I frame and pack it. Framed and gift-boxed by hand, then shipped tracked.

Where the map comes from

Every building, street and shoreline comes from OpenStreetMap, a map built by volunteers around the world. Each box includes a card crediting them, because without them there's no model.
