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 × 79 cm
Height varies from city to city.
Materials
Crafted from a corn-based material, each model features a distinctive matte surface with a subtle, plaster-like texture. The carefully developed white tone is not a pure white, but a soft, curated shade designed to enhance depth, light, and shadow, bringing out the finest details of the cityscape.
Together with a solid black-painted wood frame, the materials are chosen to create a precise and timeless architectural look.

3D Data
The quality of a city model begins with its data.
At CITYFRAMES, every model is built using our own CitySculpt process, a combination of high-quality source data and extensive manual refinement. Instead of relying on generic map data, we carefully reconstruct each area to achieve a level of clarity, accuracy, and consistency that standard datasets simply can't provide.
Buildings are positioned with high precision, details are selectively enhanced, and each city is optimized to create a clean, readable miniature that still feels true to the real place.
The result is 3D data designed specifically for physical models, not just visualizations.

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.
Designed to last, custom magnetic fittings hold larger buildings securely in place while allowing them to be easily removed and replaced if needed. This ensures precise alignment, lasting durability, and peace of mind over time.
Production and Delivery
GRAND is made to order. You can find the estimated shipping window in the configurator above.

GRAND
A portrait of your city, built at architectural scale.
A Design Statement
Large enough to anchor a wall, detailed enough to study for years. The eye-catcher guests notice before they sit down.
Numbered & Signed
Each GRAND model is engraved with a unique number and the month it was made, then signed to confirm authenticity.
Full-Scale CitySculpt
Every street and landmark in its real position, rendered from the most detailed dataset we produce.
Designed to Last
Delicate towers and spires sit on magnetic mounts. If one is ever damaged, it can be easily replaced.
Designed to Impress
At this scale, the familiar becomes architectural. Streets form patterns, landmarks become focal points, and entire cityscapes turn into compositions of depth, shadow, and structure.
The result is a piece that feels quiet from a distance, yet endlessly detailed the closer you look.
