GeminiTay – Ultimate Modern Mountain House | Minecraft Timelapse + Tour

Ladies and gentlemen it is time for me to attempt to build in the modern style a style i haven’t worked in in over six years to start i began laying out all of the blocks that i would want i decided to go for a very basic white to gray toned

Palette a little bit boring but again it’s the first time i’ve done this style in a while so i wanted to keep it pretty basic i did some cyan and green accents just to color it up later on we’re starting out this build by pretty much just framing everything out

I did look at a few real-life modern houses to get an idea of the architecture and how i might want to lay this out i found doing a lot of these shapes at different depths and kind of connecting the horizontal lines together with some vertical lines ended up

Working out pretty easily this is a style that i’m not used to it feels at first a little bit more rigid than i would like it to and i think the next time i attempt this style i may try and add in some more organic shapes or curvier structures or even just

Structures on a diagonal to help combat this and make it a little bit more interesting for myself at the start i began making all of these separate squares all different colors i end up thinking that this is a bit of a mistake and then it blends in with the

Mountain a little bit too much i changed this out for a cyan after i’m finished with more of the colors and i think that that looks a lot better some bushes and a pool definitely help out with those colors as well and it’s time to finally start connecting everything together

Getting the windows in place all of those lovely little interior spots are going to need to be done lots of edging to be done and in general just little details like solar panels different like units up on top of the roof i don’t know whatever i could think of to make the

Style make sense eventually it’s time to move down to the lower half obviously we need some sort of entrance up into this house i did a little speedboat slash tiny yacht design little vehicles like this are such a challenge to build but they’re worth it

If you can pull it off i like this one it’s not bad for my first attempt and then of course it’s time to work on the actual entrance this little building and the bottom works well and i’m going to end up creating some elevators so that we can get into the inside

Once on the inside the possibilities are endless and this is why i love a mountain cliff house like this it’s so much fun to be able to expand the interior and push it all the way into the mountain you can have secret rooms or just anything that you can imagine and with that

Worried about finish let’s go take a little look at it in game shall we All right everyone so i did some interior and i definitely want to show you that and i’d also like to spend the last half of this video doing some critiquing for my modern style building since i haven’t touched this style in such a long time but let’s start with

The interior so we land down here this is obviously where you enter via boat we can head inside this little building here and head to this elevator that is going to take us upwards into this little kind of porch area enter up through the stairs and we are

On one of the roofs we also have the option to walk down onto this little area and get the beautiful view of the world around us oh my gosh i adore the seed it it’s so lovely to build here there’s so many possibilities i’ll leave the seed down in the description if you

Guys want to check it out okay and the main feature starts right through this area here i had a lot of fun doing modern interior i’ve literally i don’t think ever done modern interior so excuse me if it’s a little bit rough i textured the floor here with a bit of

This white concrete powder and the diorite on the edge tried to get as much white in with the gray accents but also some you know brown with the dark oak i feel like that’s pretty important if we turn down this way we have the bedroom i did like a really fun accent

Wall in here which i love i think it blends really well with that lily if you are playing this in survival i also put a bed right here so obviously this bed can just be for looks and then this bench here is where you would actually

Sleep of course we do have this little couch over here where again absolutely beautiful view i love these end rods for the exterior detail but on the interior they’re actually really handy because they give this like really nice glow effect in the inside so it looks like

The sun is coming in even though the sun right there is like way over there it’s really nice it gives a really nice glow and it makes it so i don’t have to put as much lighting on the inside alright anyways let’s head back up out of this little sitting area here of

Course we have the end rod and beacon lighting coming down here we have this cute little chandelier little reading nook in around the corner and this my friends the dining room and kitchen i think this is where i had definitely the most fun i did like an attempt at a modern

Fireplace over here cute little kind of sitting arrangement lots of plants as per usual with my designs this little kitchen was so much fun oh my gosh there’s so much more possibility in modern kitchen designs than there is in medieval i really i really like this ah i wish i

Had this in real life now before we go down that staircase let’s head down this one first this is what takes us down into that like sort of main pool slash sitting area down here so we do have a little bit of a fire area i

Imagine this is where you would kind of entertain maybe barbecue have some friends over this is kind of the main deck of the whole thing and i really like this view even though it’s kind of a plain modern house you know i think it i think it looks good i think i

Would like to spend some time here genuinely right heading back inside though now let’s head down that other staircase in the kitchen this was probably my biggest struggle of the entire thing a little aquarium here kind of foreshadows as to what’s down here which is a massive aquarium the

Shaders are kind of making it a little fuzzy i really like this kind of puts me back towards my old let’s play series where i had a lot of aquariums i like adding aquariums i tried to break up this room a little bit and have it be a little bit survival

Friendly so we have some little farms growing over here to harvest food and we also have a little bit of a storage area and down here of course this is the main like entertainment area i guess kind of like a rec room if you guys have that in

Your homes i like this but i do think it’s a little empty and it’s a little small and it’s that way because of how the exterior is as you can see we can’t go down any further and we can’t go up any further this this whole kind of

Square room a little awkward but i like what i did with it and i think it’s got some potential now let’s head back outside and talk about the build itself so i’m gonna start with the things that i like and then i’m gonna move into things that i don’t like quite as much

When taking on the modern style so i really like the little details i was able to get here i think i did a pretty good job of the horizontal like there’s all of these big horizontal lines and i think i balance those pretty well with these vertical

Lines going up particularly in this area it gets a little rougher over here i was modeling this off of some sort of real-life houses that i saw it’s okay but it’s not my favorite i also like that although this is the modern style i was able to add a little

Bit of texturing adding in the little wool layers or the diorite layers throwing in spruce wood with those grays to kind of break it up and also all of these little kind of bush areas i like this little solar panel situation up here i think it breaks it up well the

Only thing i would add to kind of the roof area is i almost want to do a helicopter pad i think that would look so cool especially on top of the mountain here or maybe in this area hanging over if i was to add something

That is what i would add oh look at that lava over there oh my gosh this seed is just ah it’s lovely okay anyway sorry distracted okay now let’s get into the first thing that i don’t like about this house it’s how do i say it it’s just plain it’s

It’s a lot of rectangles and squares stacked on top of each other with not a lot else it’s a little bit boring to me in comparison to some of the other builds i do with like dragons and fantasy stuff if i was to do this again

I think i would turn one of these buildings on an angle and have some sort of fancy curvy like tower coming out of them i think that would look quite a lot better and it would add some interest to me while i’m building it which is really

Important you have to be interested in what you’re doing and if you don’t like building straight lines then modern’s really not for you the other thing i would probably change up is the colors white and gray are super important but i would have liked to have maybe another

Accent or depend on the bushes a little less in order to get better colors and better shapes here giving especially this section right here a little bit more depth and interest right now when i’m looking at this build my eye is very much drawn to like this pillar here

And i’d like to have kind of more interesting areas like that where you kind of go oh that’s really cool whereas right now it’s like oh yeah it’s a modern house and that’s it’s just a modern house i don’t know if that makes any sense but

That’s kind of how i am feeling about this build the other thing that i think that i could have done better and again feel free to critique me in the comments because like i said i don’t do modern style so if i’m doing something with modern architecture that’s wrong please

Be nice but some like nice critiques would be fantastic so please feel free but the other thing i’m kind of picking at here is the windows these are kind of windows that i would do maybe in medieval or a castle or something just sticking them straight up and down i

Think in modern you can do a lot more interesting things with the windows oh i didn’t do interior there my bad whoops totally could have done that my bad uh next time i went way into the mountain i forgot without him anyways the the windows are

Kind of boring right i think i should have done more like this where you have this cool wrap around window or even like this where all of the walls are windows stuff like that to add a lot more interest to the build overall i think would have helped rather than

These slating windows although having these did help the interior a lot it made it a lot simpler easy to put furniture up against these whereas with this one a little more awkward to put furniture up against but it looks a lot cooler on the exterior anyways guys that is all for me thank

You so much for watching this video and uh supporting this channel i’m so happy with this build like it’s i know it’s not my best build but modern is hard when all you do ever is like a medieval fantasy mix it’s hard but it’s interesting and i’m

Really excited that i tried it and i’m excited to see all of your reactions so definitely tell me what you thought down in the comments below thank you so much for watching this video everyone i hope i’ll see you in the next one goodbye
