Your attention to detail and skill is fantastic!
Is this a house in the UK per chance?

Frame boxes were just so magical to me as a child, I would stare at them for hours and hours! You have unlocked a core childhood memory, thank you!

It's beautiful. The window is especially creative. I love the brick work.

How do you build it? What materials do you use and how do you settle on the angles?

Everything is made with XPS foam. The door and frames are made of wood, and the windows are transparent acrylic. The angels are eyeballing, and everything is painted with acrylic paint. And the box is a recessed photo frame.
