Mom
The idea & the organization
With Cici, Mom came up with the idea that became Voxeloom. She oversees operations and keeps the family’s workshop organized.
Our family workshop · Rhode Island
A family project. A place in your story.
Made to build. Meant to keep.
We’re the family behind Voxeloom. From our workshop in the suburbs of Providence, Rhode Island, we turn the places people love into keepsakes made with genuine LEGO® bricks.
How it began
Mom and Cici had an idea. We made it a family project.
Voxeloom started with an idea Mom and Cici had together. Dad and Didi, our resident technology enthusiasts, teamed up with them to create the design studio (and Cici and Didi designed this website!). Each brought a different interest: art, technology, and a love of building with LEGO® bricks.
Cici and Didi are our nicknames for big sister and little brother. Working together gives us a chance to learn from each other and make something we care about.
That’s the spirit we bring to your model, too. It might be the home where your family grew up, the place where you said “I do”, or a building that has always meant something to you. We want to understand the details that make it yours.
The people behind your model
Everyone has a part.
A family workshop, with Mom overseeing operations and Dad responsible for quality control.
Dad
Technology & quality
Dad, an aerospace scientist, built the design studio with Didi, Mom and Cici. He brings his love of technology to the work and handles quality control, making sure every set we design goes together just as it should.
Cici
The idea, design & customer care
Big sister Cici loves drawing cartoons. The idea for Voxeloom was hers and Mom’s, and she designed this website with Didi. She contributes to design and helps with customer care.
Didi
Technology, building & testing
Little brother Didi loves technology and building with LEGO® bricks. He helped Dad create the design studio, designed this website with Cici, and will build and test our first sets, checking how the pieces and the instructions work together.
Cici and Didi are learning by doing, with their parents overseeing the workshop. Their fresh eyes help us spot the details that need another look.
From your photograph to your model
A little imagination. A lot of checking.
Every LEGO® brick model starts as a grid — a voxel is a pixel with depth, and a house read off photographs is a lattice of colored cells before it is anything else. Turning that into something a person can actually build is where the work is, and three things have to be true before a design leaves here.
Every piece is one LEGO sells
Not a piece that looks like it. Every part in a design is one LEGO sells new in its Pick a Brick shop, in a color LEGO actually makes it in, and the whole parts list is checked against the shop before anybody sees the model. A part LEGO does not sell does not go in.
Every brick is held
A model is walked brick by brick to find anything resting on nothing. Where a piece floats, a support goes in underneath — and the change is written down and told to you rather than quietly shipped. If a design cannot be made to stand, you hear that instead of a box of pieces that will not hold together.
The instructions come out of the model
Every step and every numbered bag is generated from the finished design: nineteen thousand bricks sorted into build order in seconds. Nobody draws a booklet by hand here, which is most of the reason a kit takes weeks rather than seasons.
What you can expect
Personal care. Practical details.
A meaningful gift deserves clear expectations. Here are a few things to know before we begin.
- Genuine LEGO® bricksBought new from LEGO’s own Pick a Brick shop — never clone brands, or second-hand lots of unknown provenance. Voxeloom is an independent family workshop, not part of the LEGO Group.
- A preview is a starting pointThe design studio’s pictures are AI impressions. Your design is worked out in real parts, so its details will differ.
- Your approval comes firstYou see your design and its price before you pay anything, and we order nothing until you say yes.
- Only as many as we can do wellRequests are taken first come, first served. If your gift has a date, count on it once we have confirmed it to you in writing.
- Nothing we could not makeEvery model in our gallery is a design that has been checked and priced, and could be ordered this afternoon.
Made near Providence
Inspired by places close to home.
Twelve of the places in our gallery are in Rhode Island, most of them within an hour of the workbench. In Providence, the State House on its hill, Brown’s Carrie Tower and the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul. Down the bay, Conimicut Light on its shoal, Warwick Neck Light on its bluff and Historic St. Luke’s Church in East Greenwich. Then Beavertail Light at the southern end of Conanicut Island, the Towers over Ocean Road in Narragansett, and in Newport, Trinity Church and the Windmill at Hammersmith Farm. A short ferry ride out, Rose Island Light keeps its old fort in the bay, and farther still, Southeast Light stands on the bluffs of Block Island.
They were designed partly because they were there to look at, and partly because a building you have walked past a thousand times is the hardest thing to model. You know immediately when it is wrong.
If the place you want is in Rhode Island, say so — it is easier to get the details right when we can go and stand in front of it.
