Architectural drawing and house history combined
Archistory
Commission us to create a unique architectural drawing of your home, along with a fully researched house history
Ben Taggart can create a beautiful architectural drawing of your home or property, and combine it in a picture with Paul Murray’s story of the house and its owners.
See the building’s architectural features perfectly represented with the maximum level of detail and accuracy using measurements taken on site.
Read the accompanying history, which gives a fascinating insight into the original builder or developer, the owners of the property, and also how the building itself may have changed over the years.
In each Archistory commission, the layout and choice of typography perfectly complements the architectural style of your property, so that the whole image creates an atmosphere of the period in which the house was built.
A wonderful and original gift
The final result is a unique and fascinating picture of your property

Each model is produced with the maximum possible attention to detail, perfect down to the last weathered cornice and brick.
The Archistory Team
In 1994 Ben founded Ben Taggart Modelmaking & Design producing architectural models for private clients, property developers, museums and architects. Ben then hit upon the idea of combining his love of architecture, his eye for detail and his training in typography and graphic design with his passion for history. He founded ‘Archistory’ in 2009. Paul Murray was thrilled to be asked to contribute to the Archistory project. For him, researching each property presents a different and fascinating challenge. The joy of writing an ‘Archistory’ is being able to unlock those secrets.
