About this asset

This Revit family features a traditional residential mailbox mounted on a timber post, designed for exterior site planning projects. The assembly comprises a standard metal mailbox with a rounded top and a signature red signal flag, attached to a vertical timber post with a tapered, pyramidal cap. The mailbox is rendered in a neutral grey finish, providing a clean, utilitarian aesthetic suitable for suburban or rural settings. The post is finished in a warm timber tone, contrasting with the metal container. The design is straightforward and functional, focusing on clear geometry and simple proportions that integrate easily into site plans without overcomplicating the model file or distracting from primary architectural elements.

The download is a 236 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

In Revit, this family is best utilised by placing it directly into your site plan or 3D view. Because it is a simple, lightweight component, it will not significantly impact project performance. Users should ensure the post base is hosted at the correct site elevation or pad level. Material parameters can be adjusted within the family editor to match specific project finishes or environmental conditions, ensuring consistency with other site accessories and hardscaping elements in the master model.

This asset is essential for exterior visualisation and site documentation in residential projects. It serves as a finishing touch for suburban house models, rural estates, or housing development master plans. Architects and landscape designers can use this to define property boundaries or street-side details. It pairs well with driveway, paving, and soft landscaping families. Search for this item when detailing site plans, creating curb-appeal renderings, or populating exterior scenes for planning submissions, as it adds a necessary layer of realism to street-facing elevations.
