Arkansas native and architect Steven W. Hurd, AIA, designed his first set of building blocks some 15 years ago at the prompting of his mother-in-law, whose father – also an architect – built models of castles and cathedrals for her when she was a child. What began as a new hobby – to relive his childhood passion for building models, then as a way to build toys for his son to enjoy – eventually became an avenue for Steven to share his passion with the world.

Westwork Designs was created for children who aspire to build and builders who aspire to be children again. Westwork Designs blocks aren’t your ordinary dime-store blocks. Each block is carved from imported hardwood and special attention is given to the intricate details found in every piece. The only limitation is your imagination.


Westwork Designs is looking for both domestic and international distributors.
