Architectural scale models · Brazil, worldwide

The model is thefirst time yourdevelopmenttruly exists.

For three decades Maketarte has built physical scale models for high-end developments — measured to the millimetre, hand-finished, and made to survive being looked at from ten centimetres away.

The detail

Precision you canread up close.

A model is judged at the distance a client leans in. That is where glazing mullions, façade reveals, handrails, paving joints and planting either hold up or fall apart. Every Maketarte model is built to hold up.

  • 0.3 mm

    Façade tolerance. Mullions, reveals and frames cut and assembled within three tenths of a millimetre of the drawing.

  • Light

    Integrated lighting. Interiors, façade washes and streetscapes lit from inside, wired for a single switch or remote control.

  • Hand

    Finishing by hand. Painting, patination, landscaping and figures applied by modelmakers, never left to the machine.

  • Case

    Presentation and transport. Acrylic vitrines, lit bases, engraved plates and crating built for international shipping.

Workshop

Machines that holda tolerance.

Digital fabrication does the exact work; our modelmakers do the work that has to be felt. Everything is produced in-house, which is why schedules hold and revisions do not become new projects.

3D printing

Resin and filament printers for façade components, sculptural geometry and repeatable parts at high resolution.

Laser cutting

Clean, square cuts and engraved detail in acrylic, MDF, styrene and board — the backbone of every façade and topography.

CNC router

Large-format milling for terrain, contoured bases and structural cores, cut from a single reference file.

Lighting & finishing

Airbrush finishing, patination, landscaping and low-voltage lighting integrated into the base and vitrine.

Commitment to the environment

Every model leavesthis workshopcarbon-free.

Sustainability is part of every stage of our work — from the board we cut to the energy that runs the machines. These are not offsets bought after the fact. They are how the workshop is built.

Solar energy

All the energy that runs our production is generated from clean, renewable solar power. We operate with zero carbon emissions in our energy matrix, reducing the environmental impact of every model we produce.

FSC®

Certified Duratex MDF

Duratex was one of the first companies in Latin America to obtain Forest Stewardship Council® certification, in 1995, and has held it ever since. The seal attests to responsible forest management under the highest social and environmental standards. We build with certified board and support reforestation.
