    Create dream homes! From 3D plan modelling through to on-site decision-making, you must bring each project to life while giving free rein to your creativity, to take your architectural firm to the pinnacle of the profession.

    Make the most of your extensive creative freedom, with a huge variety of materials, structures and items, and above all innovative construction tools which will enable you to design and customise your buildings, from the shape of each room to detailed roof drawings.

    • Career mode – You take charge of an architectural firm, and are entrusted with managing its contemporary home design projects. Model each home according to the client's specifications and the terrain, select the subcontractors, and supervise the construction. All this will earn you experience points to gradually unlock new ways of executing these projects (new construction materials and techniques, green energies, etc.).

    • Free mode – You select the environment and terrain from 60 different options and then enjoy complete creative freedom!

    • Innovative and intuitive tools – Room and roof drawings, with precise dimension and angle measurements, creation of balconies and mezzanines, structure extensions, a wide selection of materials and coatings, etc. The simple, ergonomic tools provided by Architect Life are designed to maximise the creative possibilities available.

    • Equipment and fittings – Manage room heating by optimising the quantity and placement of heating devices, customise the interior of your homes down to the exact colour of the furniture, and enhance the outdoor space with vegetation and a variety of facilities (swimming pools, playgrounds, etc.)

    Have you ever watched a home makeover show and thought, “I could do better than that”? Well, Architect Life: A House Design Simulator hands you the blueprint, the paintbrush, and the furniture catalog to prove it. Whether you’re rearranging cozy apartments or designing sprawling modern homes, this simulator provides a surprisingly enjoyable blend of creativity and calm.

    Move over, Kevin McCloud: there's a new architect in town, and it's me. Architect Life is a great deal of fun for anyone who likes to get creative with designing houses. Career mode provides structure while free play lets you go wild with your ideas, and whichever mode you opt for, it's bolstered by intuitive controls and easy-to-learn mechanics.

    Architect Life is a well made and intensely detailed look at the world of house design, and those brought up on The Sims will feel that creativity pouring through the screen. Just be prepared to pay extra if you feel like you're missing a cinema.

    Architect Life: A House Design Simulator doesn't dig too deep but there is some challenge to be had from clients and their prospective locations. The career mode has some variety to it, although the homes I built started to homogenise due to the surprisingly limiting tools at my disposal. For a game with architect in the title, you're not given the freedom to truly tinker with angles and materials. It's still a methodical and relaxed time but it pulls some punches.

    Architect Life: A House Design Simulator works — and that’s the long and short of it. There is no secret behind these four walls: it is simply a house-building simulator that, despite probably running better than leviathan The Sims 4 in certain computers, doesn’t present a lot of variety beyond that. It is worth it for those looking for a relaxing title, but consider comparing it to other options in the market.

    Architect Life is a nice little design-your-own-house game, which is definitely not a hard core simulator, but should offer a modicum of fun for those on the highest rung of Maslow's ladder. There is little challenge, and some minor bugs and other annoyances, but at least this is an acceptable entry in a genre that is not too crowded.
