- Quick little stop right there.
You can just sit there and meditate.

My name's Andrew McClure, and I am a designer.
And I'm here to check out the new Fortnite Creative Mode.
A lot of this stuff in this seems
like it's pretty relatable, even though it's a video game.
I mean, I'll probably stick with something
that's residential, kind of a cool house.
From what I've seen, there's a lot of
kind of industrial materials and objects and buildings,
so it might be kind of cool to do something
that's sort of in that vein,
a contemporary concrete bunker
in the mountains or something (laughs), I don't know.
Alright, goin' through the portal.
This is pretty cool, you get to see everything
from an aerial view.
So first thing is probably gonna select a site
to build whatever we're gonna build.
This one looks good (laughs).
Right here, it's got some accessibility to it.
So if this were a driveway or something,
somebody could walk up.
Think the first thing is go through
and kind of select what building materials we have
at our disposal, this is pretty cool, the prefabs.
That's an architectural term.
If you're using prefab materials,
it's already built offsite,
so you're bringing it to the site.
There's so many, I'm just throwin' these little Pokeballs,
a bunch of items show up.
Everything has got its own materials or textures.
Let's start with the foundation.
Let's try to do this somewhat systematically.
And I think this kind of flat area up here
is probably a good building pad.
I mean, you've got this view, Mount Olympus over there,
and then, you've got these views back over the valley.
I'm gonna kind of cantilever some of this stuff
out over the rocks, just kind of setting the whole
floor plan for the building footprint.
Yeah, this feels a lot faster than (laughs).
Than what we do every day.
I'm gonna try to keep some of the interior
of the footprint kind about as a courtyard.
Maybe to soften it up, throw in some wood flooring.
This is like Photoshop.
Copy.
So we're kinda creating a little walkway,
a garden walkway, that would just kind of run
around the perimeter of the courtyard.
Try to make this like a little zen like architecture.
Be contemporary, but there's a couple buildings
that have some Asian architectural influence to them
and some cool bamboo,
so maybe we'll throw some of that stuff in there.
I wanted to get a stone wall.
Yeah, that one looks kind of in the same family.
Maybe this was like quarried from the island.
(upbeat music)
So these are gonna be the primary exterior walls.
We'll leave an opening for the entries,
so when you come in, you're coming in centered
on that courtyard space.
(upbeat music)
I'm gonna add the floor above now.
(upbeat music)
Alright, so I'm just kinda leaving the courtyard space open
on the second floor too.
Let light down into that space.
Maybe somehow we can tie in the garage here,
kind of underneath.
Yeah. (upbeat music)
I saw some steel stuff.
Maybe we'll use this as the wall.
This is cool, it kinda just slices into the terrain there.
Kind of like a Batcave-inspired garage.
So let's add some stairs now.
Pokeball go, these stairs are a little bit more monolithic
and like grand, place these at the entry.
So one thing I wanted to try to get
was like a more of a steel stair.
Let's try this one, actually, that kind of works perfect.
(upbeat music)
That's a little bit more industrial.
Now, let's kind of start placing maybe some interior walls.
For those, I wanna use something
with the wood window frames, that kind of ties
into the courtyard. (upbeat music)
Everything frames that courtyard now.
So this would be like bedroom one,
and then this could be like bathroom.
So a bathroom for that room, bathroom for that room.
We'll keep the stone just on that middle floor.
We'll take the concrete on the third floor.
Make the roof. (upbeat music)
I like how the geometries are kind of all offset
from each other, it just doesn't feel flat.
I like the idea of like the entry having big,
huge landscape planters, kind of right as you walk in.
So it could see that,
and then maybe, just to soften up this elevation here
where it's all stone, which I really like,
we can add some kind of lower planters
that flank the entry. (upbeat music)
So yeah, I think they're a little tall.
It would be nice if you could
just shrink 'em down a tiny bit.
Go back to the drawing board here.
I like this temple.
That's sick.
Now, let's get some bamboo goin'.
(upbeat music)
That's awesome, it's like fluttering in the wind.
Now, get to some of the interior.
This is perfect for the entry.
Quick little stop right there.
You can just sit there and meditate.
Another thing we could do actually
is add some railings, there we go.
(upbeat music)
Flowers. (upbeat music)
Let's try the house.
I'll probably have some items
that we could use for the interior.
I like those chairs.
See this light's cool, they need to have more lights.
Get a little bit of a glow off the wall there.
Our plants are already growing
through the cracks of the walls.
This is bothering me.
That's better, god.
(upbeat music)
Perfect, that desk is good.
This kitchen's pretty wack.
Whoever lives here is not very clean.
I really don't wanna use this in the kitchen.
Look at those cabinets that are just fallin' off.
Oh, there's a little drafting board.
Oh, that's goin' up here.
It's obviously an architect that lives here.
Oh, I like that though.
There.
Let's see what else they have, big ass TV.
That's goin' up.
I like this bench, even though the leather's coming off.
Trying to kind of select the most
contemporary looking pieces available.
We can go ahead and add some whips to the garage.
I like this one.
Classic, oh, garage door.
It's a little small.
(laughs) They're not quite tall enough.
Red button.
(upbeat music)
Guess we'll do this bed.
(upbeat music) (keyboard clicking)
I'm just kind of trying to detail out some of the bedrooms.
I was thinking instead of using all the prebuilt furniture,
maybe we could use some of those cubes.
It looks like they have a few interesting materials,
like stainless steel one.
Maybe we could do something like this where--
(upbeat music)
So that would be like your long, commercial type kitchen.
Make it like a big sushi bar or something.
So, and then, maybe these are just like
chunks of block stone or something.
It's custom built, so these could be your upper cabinets.
(upbeat music)
There's a kayak.
We can just use this one.
(upbeat music)
Oh, we gotta get security camera on this thing.
I definitely wanted to grab that tree.
(upbeat music)
That's pretty cool.
Let me just put this boar's head
on a wall real quick. (upbeat music)
This is the club, they've got these dope dance floor.
(upbeat music)
There, now, we got like
some cool lighting over each car
for all the Bugatti's and the Lambo's and stuff.
But we got to find some other, oh.
I know, the dune buggy.
(metal crashes)
Oh yeah. (upbeat music)
So with the finished product here,
you've kind of got this layer cake of floors.
This garage here that has this steel bracing
with glass in between
so you can see all the cars on display.
We put in some overhead lights
that are somewhat disco-themed.
You get a view of those bedrooms and bathrooms.
And then, the third floor has a roof deck, office,
and master bedroom space.
And it all kind of is just set up
on this interior courtyard.
So yeah, from this side, you've got your living room,
the big screen TV on that wall.
You've got your dining room set up on axis
with the tree in the courtyard,
and then you've got your kitchen over here.
And then, up above, we've got
an interior bedroom, master bedroom space,
and then, an outdoor covered space
with a structural column just kind of propping that up.
Come up here, I like these big huge planters,
just framing the whole entry.
Security camera checking to see if I can enter
that courtyard space.
So when we come into the living room, you get those views.
And then, back to these bedrooms.
We've got our primary circulation
with the two sets of stairs, one going down
to the subterranean garage.
There's all our whips.
As we come up the stairs, third floor,
we've got the office over here, drafting board.
We've got the courtyard with the railings.
You can look down into those spaces, that's pretty cool,
and then, the master bedroom over here.
Your master bedroom with this view
of all that stuff (laughs).
Outdoor deck area, which
you get that view, that big mountain right there, so.
It's pretty sweet.
I think that the ability
to kind of take all these components that are prebuilt,
I just see that growing
and being able to add more and more.
And it's fun, it's easy to just be creative
and kind of do whatever you want.
I think it's a pretty cool house.
It's kinda got that Iron Man,
a little bit more zen kind of industrial feel to it,
but perched up on top of the cliff
and having these sick views.
Yeah, I mean, I'd live there for sure.
