Architect Life: A House Design Simulator, developed by Shine Research and published by Nacon, is set to redefine the home design simulation genre when it launches in 2025 on Steam. This house design simulator offers played extensive creative freedom, allowing them to design everything from cozy countryside retreats to sleek, modern city homes.
In Architect Life, you can select from various biomes that each bring unique aesthetics and design challenges. In the latest “Archiblog” development update, Shine Research showcased the countryside biome, a scenic area featuring small towns, rivers, lakes, and flower fields. This idyllic setting encourages open, light-filled designs with large windows, conservatories, and scenic outdoor spaces that blend seamlessly with nature.
The design journey begins at the player’s virtual desk, where they outline the initial structure, starting with walls. Architect Life provides a suite of tools, including grids, tooltips, and precision aids, for setting angles and aligning walls. You can experiment with walls of any shape, including curved walls, and adjust layouts by merging or extending parts of the structure with ease.
