33 House and Heart Models: An Update

In March 2020, I designed a model depicting a house with a heart instead of a door and called it Home Is where the Heart Is. Diagrams and a video tutorial were also published for it in an article in The Fold. When many more models with a similar theme popped up, in April 2020 I decided to write another article listing the 14 house and heart models I found, old and new. While the article was queued to be published, even more such designs were created.

It seems the emerging of new designs with this theme has now slowed down. So I feel like it is a good time to share with you an updated list that includes all the designs I am currently aware of. In the table below, entries that were not included in the original article are highlighted in blue.

I folded all but one design (22. Stay Home by しゅげい と おりがみ), for which I only found a photo, but no indication of how it might be folded. The models numbered in white were not included in the original article. You can see individual photos of all photographed models on my website.

Left: the 14 models included in the previous article, renumbered to match the current list.
Right: the models that were added to the list in this article, except for #22.

I hope you enjoy this overview and that you’ll fold some of your own heart and house models, perhaps your favorites among the batch.

If you are you aware of more house and heart models, I’d love for you to let me know about them in the comments section. Or maybe this article will inspire you to design your own design with this theme.
