About Architect Life: A House Design Simulator

Architect Life: A House Design Simulator lets you run your own architectural firm on PC, guiding contemporary home projects all the way from 3D floor plans to on-site decisions. It's an indie creative simulation that hands you the responsibility for a wide range of builds and encourages you to pour your own imagination into every one as you work toward the top of the profession.

Career mode structures each project into distinct stages. During First Fix you model walls, rooms, roofs, doors, windows and balconies around the client's wishes, the terrain and the budget, before moving to Second Fix to choose floor, wall and roof coverings and install heating for year-round comfort. The Outdoors stage adds pools, garages and verandas, while Layout is about arranging key furniture so buyers can picture themselves at home.

For players who love the fine details, a dedicated Decoration option lets you fuss over everything down to a candle on a chest of drawers or the exact color and placement of the cushions on a sofa. A Construction phase then has you selecting subcontractors to bring the design to life, rounding out a sim that balances creativity with the practical business of building homes.
