One Dutch Guy. One Million Pixels. One Place to Call Home. - Pixels for Bricks – One Million Pixels, One Place to Call Home

Day 1 · 0 of 1,000,000 pixels sold · nobody has gone first yet

Buy a block. Watch me try to buy a house.

One million pixels on one wall, one euro each. You get a block with your image and your link, for as long as the wall stands. I get one step closer to a deposit — and you get to watch every number along the way, including the ones that make me look bad.

  • €1 per pixel

  • Smallest block 5 × 5 = €25

  • Paid once, not monthly

Free request first — you only pay after I approve your spot. Payment link within 24 hours. The first 25 buyers get a free package upgrade.

No crypto. No NFT. Just pixels.

Being straight with you: almost nobody has seen this wall yet, so buying a block will not bring you traffic. What it buys you is a permanent spot in an experiment that is documented in the open — sales, visitors, mistakes and all.

Robert, the Dutch guy behind Pixels for Bricks

I’m Robert. I work in education in the Netherlands and I’ve been outbid on five homes. This is my attempt to buy one anyway — in public, with the real numbers.

FOUNDING 25

The first 25 buyers get the best deal this wall will ever offer

The wall is nearly empty. That makes the first buyers the most important part of this story — so the first 25 approved orders automatically receive Founding status.

  • FREE UPGRADE

    A free package upgrade

    Buy any package and receive the next size up for free: Mini becomes a 10×10 Starter block, Starter becomes a 20×20 Growth block, Growth becomes Brand, Brand becomes Spotlight — and Spotlight is doubled to 5,000 pixels.

  • LIFETIME

    Lifetime placement

    Your block stays on the wall for as long as pixelsforbricks.com exists — guaranteed for at least five years. No renewal fees, ever.

  • SPOTLIGHT

    Founder spotlight

    A personal post about you on our channels, a permanent entry on the Founding Wall page, and a mention in every interview and press release about this project.

  • RISK-FREE

    Money-back promise

    If fewer than 50,000 pixels are sold by 1 January 2027, every Founding buyer can request a full refund. No questions asked.

Founding status is applied automatically to the first 25 approved orders. The refund promise is part of the published terms.

A million pixels. A very real goal.

Pixels for Bricks is a modern tribute to the wonderfully chaotic internet of the 1990s and early 2000s.

The wall contains exactly one million pixels. Individuals, creators, businesses and organisations can request a block for an approved image and link.

Together, all those small digital spaces form one enormous online mosaic — and one very public attempt by one Dutch guy to reach a place to call home.

Pixel by pixel. Brick by brick.

    Early buyers become part of the origin story — with a personal spotlight and a permanent place on the Founding Wall.

Why build a million-pixel wall?

Because buying a home in the Netherlands has become incredibly difficult — even with a steady job in education.

My name is Robert. I work in education, I grew up with the early internet, and I’ve been outbid more times than I want to count. Instead of waiting for the housing market to fix itself, I rebuilt a famous internet idea for a new generation.

No wealthy investor. No large company. No secret marketing team.

Just me, one bold idea and one million empty pixels.

The counter above is real, and so is the uncertainty. That is exactly why I’m documenting the whole attempt in public — every block, every setback, every step closer to a home.

Built in the Netherlands. Open to the world.

Clear before you decide to pay

A free request is reviewed first. If it can be accepted, the package, position, total and your personal payment link are confirmed by email — usually within 24 hours.

After confirmed payment and final content approval, you receive a visible block on The Wall with an approved image and clickable link, for the lifetime of the wall.

This is not an investment product, donation platform, cryptocurrency or promise of financial return. It is a creative online placement in a public internet experiment.

Before you request a block

Is a request already a purchase?

No. A request is free and takes no payment. When an available position is submitted successfully, it is reserved temporarily straight away so another request cannot overlap it. The placement becomes final only after review, separate payment and written confirmation.

How long does my placement stay on the wall?

For the lifetime of the wall: as long as pixelsforbricks.com exists, and guaranteed for at least five years. There are no renewal fees.

Can anyone buy pixels?

Individuals, businesses, creators and organisations can participate, provided their content follows the placement rules.

Can I choose my position?

Yes. You can choose an available position on The Wall. A successful order request reserves it immediately while Robert reviews the content and link.

What content is not allowed?

Illegal, hateful, misleading, explicit, infringing or otherwise harmful content will not be accepted.

Your pixels are waiting.

Choose a preferred place and submit a free request. The first 25 approved buyers automatically receive Founding status — a free package upgrade, lifetime placement and a personal spotlight.
