Gift Ideas for Architects

The holiday season is approaching, so we have compiled a list of gift ideas for the architect in your life. We know budget is subjective so please stay within your means when shopping for your loved ones (or yourself)! Keep scrolling to see our list!

Fine line pens

A designer can never have too many of these. Getting a pack is more cost effective and will give a nice range of tip thicknesses. 

Water-proof field notebook

Sometimes you need to go on site rain or shine – a water-proof book is perfect if you are caught in the rain or spill your drink on your notebook. All of your site inventory sketches and notes are safe!

The Architecture of the Cocktail

How to build your cocktail the architect way, blue prints, dimensions and all! This book is such a fun gift, it’s fun to flip through and try over 70 cocktail recipes.

Froebel blocks

These blocks come in many sizes and shapes, and are great to start conceptually modelling your designs. A seemingly simple but versatile gift!

LED tracing pad

Especially since many are designing from home these days and don’t have access to light tracing tables in studio, this pad is an excellent replacement.
