Architect Life: A House Design Simulator Breaks New PS5 Ground in June

Title Translation: Architect Life: A Virtual Architecture Studio on PS5 offers a chance to simulate the pressures of real-life project management. Starting June 5th, tasks will roll out in phases, starting with concept sketches and progressing to on-site decision making. If you’ve ever dreamed of pretending to be an architect to impress others, Architect Life is perfect for you.

Video games have made significant progress, and it’s fascinating to consider that the detailed simulations they offer may be rooted in genuine architectural designs. In career mode, players can establish their own firm, managing various aspects of project completion across several critical phases. According to Shine Research, these stages are described as follows:

1. Land acquisition – securing the necessary plot of land for the project.
2. Design and planning – creating a blueprint for the building or structure.
3. Construction – physically building the structure according to the design plan.
4. Interior decoration – furnishing and finishing the interior spaces.
5. Client satisfaction – ensuring that the completed project meets the client’s expectations.
6. Profitability analysis – evaluating the financial success of the project to inform future decisions.

  • FIRST FIX – Model the walls, rooms, roofs, doors, windows, balconies, etc., according to the customer’s requirements, the terrain, the allocated budget and your creative ideas
  • SECOND FIX – Select the floor, wall and roof coverings to maximise the project’s personal touch, and then install the home’s heating systems to ensure a comfortable temperature even in winter
  • OUTDOORS – Swimming pools, garages, verandas and more to wow your clients before they even have the time to walk through the front door!
  • LAYOUT – Get the most from every room through judicious placement of the key furniture to enable your buyers to picture themselves in their future home
  • DECORATION – An option for the most creative players who want to try their hand at decorating their house down to the finest details, from a candle on a chest of drawers to the exact placement and colour of the cushions on the sofa!
  • CONSTRUCTION – Select the subcontractors according to your remaining budget and supervise the site while being ready to react to chance events – after all, construction work is notorious for never going exactly to plan!
