Minecraft Creative Inspiration: Modern House 50

Mmm pickle hosting sponsored the video they have welcome builders andy’s you’re here welcome back to the inspiration series in minecraft the series that’s gonna do some showcases and get inspiration for building over to you guys i’m joined today with nobody because i think corrales has had enough of minecraft for the time being

Might encourage him back to inspiration series in the future you never know but i thought i’d continue on and what a great house to start with this is by just phil it’s on my server the link to the server and the coordinates are in the description but have a little look

At this place very very smexy indeed how about this i’m going to go through this house and tour it and show you some of the details and the designs i think are really important in contemporary house design not just in minecraft but in real houses as well because this house

Could be a real house it’s got the design elements that we look for in contemporary house building so what is contemporary houses some people call it modern houses other people say well modern is 1920s and 1950s um and post-modern is kind of i don’t know cluttered detailed architecture of of

The era past the 50s but contemporary design is bang up today brand new modern things built today or very recently and this house has those hallmarks so what are you looking for in a contemporary house you’re looking for streamlined contemporary architectural details what do i mean by that well straight lines right angles

Uh these awesome geometric shapes we’ve got triangles here curves work as well if you’ve got some nice curves uh these straight fences which come through the garage here really nice details you’ve got these big gable ends triangular roofs with huge windows carved into them really nice contemporary features again

Fairly bold lines over here nice straight beam going through and then we’re down into some huge floor to ceiling windows another good aspect of modern design also we’ve got a bit of an infinity pool bit of luxury some really cool materials used outside as well we’re also looking for kind of a natural

And organic feel to the house as well with some very natural relaxing materials and this is what this house captures i think there’s some browns in this pod so here by the way you can get this texture packed from my website andy jorah.com and andy is afk look at the chat

Tricky um yeah so this color here the podca has been echoed in the build and this greens and there’s grays here and there’s browns and that’s what you see in the house you see kind of a gray sandy brownie creamy color and the birch here again is similar color to the pods also

A house that’s sympathetic to its environment doesn’t stick out like a complete sore thumb and on the inside as well i’d be looking for the same kind of a subtle color scheme inside although i’d also be looking for some bright accent colors some really uh modern bright limes or

Turquoises just to shake things up inside and not make it too boring so i’m looking for some good accent colors inside we’ll see if he’s done them already but the garage is looking pretty smart i do like how he’s used all these um trapdoors all over the place strappy

Doors maximus is what i call it it’s a very airy feel as well and that’s important in a modern contemporary house as well you want it to be airy and open plan we use these iron doors here which you can stack up with the bit of world did it make huge

Nice modern uh doors as well really you get the feeling of airiness as you cross that little bridge and into your house so we have a look around pretty awesome something i would look for in a contemporary house is one big sweeping floor very subtle kind of

Floor color bare floors really you could call it bare concrete could be polished concrete it could be wood it could be yeah this bit here is wood you see it’s all one flowing area but he’s put a boundary here a little step up to mark a change in use from this little office

Through into the bedroom area and then this um well he’s changed his floor again into the kitchen as well so big flowing open flat bare areas on the floor is what i’ll be looking for in a modern house but you can separate areas with rugs and he’s put down

Cleverly just fills put down some magenta wool here which we’ve made very sort of baby blue here and little rugs here for the entrance area put your shoes hang your coat up and so on or hang your hang your pots up this is cool as well this is a huge design feature

Um before i talk about that i can finish what i was saying about rugs the rugs just kind of divide off areas and make things snugger and they kind of divide off the rooms as well we’ll come to this fire in just a second pretty spectacular huh

But i like this room divider and it kind of hangs down from this amazing feature look this runs through the entire build we’ve got lights hanging off it we’ve got the chimney hanging off it as well and we’ve got this huge kind of feature room divider something that greets you

As you come in with the flowers so yeah let’s have a look around some of the other sort of details that phil has put into this build first of all something he would definitely need is kind of an effortless introduction of light into the build so he’s got that

Huge floor to ceiling window there a little bit of privacy over here to have an area where you’d hang your coats up take your shoes off and be have a seat um and then of course a little powder room where you can come and have a pee and wash your hands and

So on and get cleaned up from the days activities and dirts and grimes and then you step into the more kind of warmer area of the house and again light coming into the build in an effortless way huge expanses of glass and that exterior beam

That we saw on the outside it’s up there i can’t see it right now that’s very clever because you can’t hold up walls with glass it’s impossible it’s not strong enough but you can imagine that this this whole um roof there is being held up by this big beam over here right

Well it’s not exactly holding it up is it holding it up well these structures are holding up these diagonals that are coming down are kind of holding that roof up and this probably just provides a bit of structural uh integrity as well so yeah around here we go

Uh back into the house and see what else we can find out so we’re around into the living room now um open plan again is something else that um i like to see in a a modern house a very open plan living space old houses if you go back 100 years

50 years even even homes built in the 80s and 70s were very compartmentalized individual rooms closed off from one each from one another but now people have shied away from that and they like an open plan area so you’re standing in your kitchen preparing food you can talk to your guests um and

They can talk to you and you can kind of share the conversation and be part of the whole life of the the house a nice refreshing walkway as well for traffic i mean it’s quite obvious this has got a very long corridor here all the traffic is taken

Along there nicely and it doesn’t interrupt the conversation you don’t have to have people walking from oh sorry about that you don’t have to have people walking from here all the way through your conversation to get to over here there’s no need to get over here once you’re in this space

Here well you’re in this space you’re um you’re looking at the fire you’re eating a meal or you’re just sitting and chilling out why is leo got his head there i don’t know weirdos so this fire is cool this is using the red sandstone blocks which was re-textured to look like

Sloping windows and this is a very nice design look at that fire that is absolutely crackers it’s amazing it’s probably the best fire design i’ve seen in minecraft and i’m loving the placement as well really cozy and look at this design element as well that’s what you’re

Looking for as well you’re looking for so lightness and airiness and back here using note blocks and trapdoors maximus and some nice how do you do that phil because whenever i place it that happens rod that’s very smart actually um these little chairs new materials new kind of ways of thinking and um

Just filling up a window with what’s a heavy window frame but just a very light element of design so these these are cool as well trap doors here wrapping all the way around got kids kind of room here double bed no it’s not a double bed or a bunk bed i

Thought it was at first class but that’s a desk underneath very clever use of snow blocks and observer blocks again magic how can he use them when i can ladders world edited in as well so heavy use of hatching the the torch to the trapdoor looks like it’s touching the ceiling and hanging

Down giving you light as well kids bedroom there with a desk and up it’s kind of a an elevated very cool as well you can imagine this is kind of like a kids play area as well i’m talking to kids weirdo all are in the corner you want

Open the house you want them to be able to be seen when they’re playing so they can from the kitchen you’re preparing a meal you want to see the kids playing over there and if they’re out this house really um is how far it is from

To this end and maybe putting the door there so it’s a bit closer to the garage so you can come in with your groceries straight into the kitchen but apart from that really nice design um and again i’m gonna be having a living room at this end it’s what i would have

Done as well be a nicer maybe to have the living room so you can just relax and then walk straight out onto the pool or come in from the pool into the warm or the living room and get your towel uh going anyway uh the one room with not

Much natural light in it is this bathroom so that’s okay and then we got through into i think it’s just the one bedroom or the second bedroom um nice feature on the wall with gray wool and uh light gray wool a cool bed more of this gravel which works really nicely there

Is a window here it’s a glass window there we go it’s all connected textures got the optifine mod in so yeah you can you can’t see the joins between the panes a little wardrobe and amazing amazing house um did we see any accent colors yes we’ve got this blue as the accent

Color so everything else in here is pretty subtle um not bland but just what would you call it natural organic uh muted colors but then you’ve got this special contemporary uh very cool hello after gaming convoy um you’ve got this slash of blue this a little uh

Element here which is picked out in the rugs on these uh paintings or decorations on the wall another blue bit here and i bet you he’s used blue plants that would have been almost too clever as well another blue rug there so yeah he’s got that splash

Of colour i might like to have seen a little blue cup or something a player head in the kitchen but yeah just being picky 10 out of 10 for this house absolutely gorgeous i hope you’ve learned a little bit about um some of the architecture i’ve been studying recently and i

Jerks and rubber banding we do have some issues on the server with occasionally a little bit of lag when we’ve got loads and loads of players on but i’m getting to the bottom of it my hosts are pickle hosting and they’re brilliant and they’re helping me pinpoint which plug-in it is that’s

Causing just a spot a smidgen of lag it happens about once a day not a problem okay that’ll do thank you so so much for watching take care for now ciao ciao in the blocks be with you You
