While many companies choose Playwell Bricks to create faithful, beautifully crafted models of their architectural buildings exactly as they stand, others see an opportunity to go a step further, infusing their sets with hidden stories, cultural symbols, or construction secrets that invite deeper engagement. This article highlights the imaginative sets laden with easter eggs and nods to construction.

Unlike static display models, Playwell Bricks sets are designed to be built and explored. Each piece is carefully chosen to represent key architectural elements and construction methodologies. Sometimes clients want Playwell designers consider not only the visible exterior but also the hidden structural systems, material choices, and distinctive design features that make each building unique.

For example, McClone Construction’s custom parking garage set emphasized their signature construction methods, including red beams that showcased internal support structures. Rather than opting for a fully completed garage, they chose a model that appeared to be under construction, a thoughtful approach that highlighted the "how" as much as the "what."

The Paskenta Nomlaki Administration Building set for the Tepa Companies went beyond simple representation. The inclusion of four interior posts referenced the wooden beams that historically supported tribal Roundhouses, creating a deep cultural connection.

When Playwell CEO Jason Pyett designed the Southeast Financial Building set for Porsche, he hid a structural column within the building bearing the Porsche brand colours. This, too, would only be visible during the building process and a nice nod to the brand behind the build.

These nuanced, hidden details provide a sense of authenticity and meaning that mass-produced sets cannot match.

A custom Playwell Bricks set is not just a model, it's a storytelling tool and a hands-on experience. Whether used for employee appreciation, community engagement, or educational outreach, these sets turn architectural and construction achievements into memorable, interactive moments. By creatively interpreting construction techniques and architectural symbolism, these models allow clients to share their expertise, celebrate milestones, and foster connection in a uniquely tactile and engaging way.
