Grian – Minecraft – Suburban House Tutorial (Minecraft House)

Hello my name is green and today we’re going to be building a suburban house now i don’t want everyone to think that i just do rustic or modern or whatever i wanted to do a very normal looking house so that’s what we’re going to be making

Today and for this one i want it to be very specific so i’m even going to give you the dimensions but what i want you to take from it is to make this your own if you can so we need to do 12 blocks across this is going to make up the

Front of the house and 19 blocks back make that a full rectangle and we have the base of our first rectangle this is going to consist of several different rectangles so let’s just finish the first one before we get on to the others using quartz pillar raise up all four

Corners by 17 blocks and then fill the area directly between those pillars with birch wood which is going to make up the primary blocks for this house it may seem like an odd choice but these two colors actually work really well together and they match that more modern suburban house

So once you’ve done that we’ve got the walls of our first rectangle let’s immediately finish the roof so that we can determine the style with the birch wood just go either end of the short sides create two triangles as such going up and in one block every time and

Should finish with two at the top which is going to be the peak of our roof on the sides we take some quartz staircase and create an overhang like so the overhang itself will be quartz block but the actual roof will be stone brick very careful to remember that so we

Actually remove the layer that we initially made and run the quartz all the way along so we’re creating an outline around the top of this roof made of quartz staircase this is going to make the house look really well defined and this is our framework once you’ve

Done that you then go and fill it in with stone brick if this is going a little too fast for you don’t worry because we’re going to do it for all of the other rectangles to come there’s only minor details on the corners as you’ll see there is a

Staircase going upside down on those once you’ve finished filling it in with stone brick it should look something like this and in itself could be a house but the suburban house is all about layering up those different rectangles what we’re going to do on the left hand

Side and be careful to remember where you put your front door seven blocks in you make a short wall three blocks out two birch and one quartz pillar on the other side you go three blocks in and make the rest of the rectangle as such where you put this doesn’t really matter

Too much but you do want a lot more space on the right hand side we then go ahead and make exactly the same roof as we did with the main one we’re replicating the style every single time with the stone brick and the quartz framework so that’s the little addition on the

Left hand side remember that this is going to be our front door on the right hand side now just in front of that right hand pillar we create two blocks the birch and the quartz pillar and we go up 11 blocks exactly it’s important that the wall here is shared by these two

Rectangles we then go across seven blocks and back twenty you should end up one short of the end of your original rectangle we then go and fill in the rest of our framework and fill it in with birch wood we then go on to progress to the roof

Which we’ve already done a few of so you really should know how to get this style down with the outline in the quartz and then the filler with the stone brick however on this one we are going to leave a bit of a gap while we’re working

On this area a little detail you can do underneath those quartz ledges is have some upside down quartz staircases and you could do this on both sides all you do is leave one block space between them and this just helps give it a bit more detail i really should have left that

Till the detailing stage but my mind works in mysterious ways sometimes so now we need to go and finish the roof this one has a one block center at the top meaning that you need a half slab to link up the two ends you then need to very precariously place all

Of the other filler however you want to leave that space there because the next rectangle we’re going to make is the garage that’s attached to the side placing another quartz pillar exactly diagonal to that corner you go up six blocks and then across seven you need to

Make sure that you still have your two quartz pillar and you’re making an arch with the birch wood however you won’t be filling this in with birchwood like everything else with iron blocks we can make the garage door front but now we’ve done that we’re going to have to put

Another roof in however the orientation of the roof is now switched around 90 degrees so this is going to go horizontally across the face of the house so we now need to go back 13 blocks and finish the rest of the garage and this time along this face we will

Add our triangular roof again using the same framework as before this is why we left that gap on the roof there so that when these two rectangles were laid out we could connect them up properly trying to do that at an earlier stage would have been a bit messy and

You may have got the dimensions wrong at this connecting point we want to have the quartz wrap around but then go into stone brick and the rest meets the birch wall at the end on this side it’s a similar story where the quartz goes runs along the side of the wall and then

Meets the stone brick so look this is mostly the house finished it just lacks detail we’ve got the all-important shape and it looks excellent so if you used my dimensions it will look exactly like this if you slightly tweak them which i encourage it will look slightly

Different on the front here we’re going to add our first window and detail you lay three birch blocks four blocks of glass and then another strip at the top shouldn’t be too hard to copy this we’ve wrapped again round some staircase made of quartz and then a little roof made

Out of stone brick what we’re going to add now is a little porch area so if you run along a quartz staircase outline from the top of the detail to the underside of this extension we can make a really nice outcropping roof on this little detail you need to make sure it

Slopes up and doesn’t directly connect that makes it a lot more clean we’re going to leave a bit of space here for another window directly above it it isn’t going to connect all the way this little detail is just going to be a four block high window on top of this ledge

However we will want to bring forward that birch wall just a little bit to make it seem more prominent the detailing is pretty simple using some quartz staircases and the same roof pattern that we must be very accustomed to now and some white stained glass panes with some oak fences beneath it

The reason it’s oak is to contrast with the birch a lot nicer if it was all birch it would blend into one on the corner we’re just going to add a little detail with a pillar made of oak fence again the reason we’re not using the

Quartz pillar is to try and add some variation on the top here we’re going to add another window however this one will be slanted so it’s shaped to the top of the roof it can’t have escaped your notice that all of the details are coming out fairly

Similarly which is why when we go to fill in a space they look exactly the same it’s just the quartz staircase technique used over and over again and i do encourage you to do something different every time even the doorway is mimicking exactly the same style with

Some oak fences either side very very easy to imitate the only difference here is that we’ve got some iron trap doors as a bit of a bonus on this side we’re going to do another door it’s just again those quartz staircases stacked on top of each other with a ledge underneath

And a ledge on the top it’s going to seem very repetitive which is why i don’t want to explain it in depth every time because once you’ve got the hang of doing a couple of windows of various sizes and that’s what’s great about this it’s quite a flexible design whether you use

Slanted roofs or flat roofs or even half slabs it works out really well and it’s extremely flexible i wanted to teach you the techniques as well as give you the dimensions because it means that you can follow exactly what we’ve done here or you could take it your own route and the

Techniques will guide you nonetheless we’re doing another little extension dormer out here only this one is five blocks tall instead of four and it’s slightly wider with two extra pillars you can see quite clearly the design there above we’re going to do some more windows and we’re going to mimic what’s

On the front face of the house the back isn’t quite as important as the front and it is important to be able to distinguish the two which is why we have a protrusion of shape on the front and not on the back for this design i didn’t

Add a back door but i recommend that you do just something simple and subtle will do the trick all of these window designs are the same throughout they’re just varying sizes to match the wall make sure they’re not too dominating or too little they all have something in common where

They have a one block center on the garage you’ll notice that there are no windows because i wanted to keep it semi-realistic to make this house seem a bit more detailed because we didn’t have any depth we didn’t go one block back on the pillars i added a line of birch

Staircase into the walls to help segment the build up and this small detail really helped make this look more realistic because often these houses have those little subtle segregation points so at the front we’re going to add a very basic front garden using some cobblestone and some pod saw add some

Leaves and you’ve got a very simple design it’s up to you what you put there i just added a couple of flowers and made it look relatively messy i’m going to add a quick little walkway to the front door and a driveway for the car

That i’m not going to build but it just gives you an idea of what this would look like complete that is it that is the suburban house design and a big thank you to pearlescent moon for her help on the design of this house there’s loads of space on the interior for you

To play with you just have to remove the walls because a lot of these rectangles all share at least one wall so you’ll just have to knock it through and then there’s loads of space to play with i really enjoyed this house making and it’s an absolutely fantastic design the palette is flexible

You could make it a darker house or a lighter house and with all those new blocks that have just come out there’s a whole heap of potential the quartz however really only works with birch quartz is quite a restrictive block in terms of its texture anyway i hope you enjoyed this i hope

You now don’t think that i just do rustic houses i will do anything so if you have an idea leave it down in the comments below and i will take a look at it thank you very much for watching everyone good bye
