Who hasn't dreamed of creating the ideal home? Lovers of wide-open spaces, modern or traditional architecture: in Architect Life players design whatever they want, giving free reign to their creativity. Using an advanced, user-friendly construction tool, they create whatever house they can imagine in sandbox mode, or develop their architectural firm in career mode by bringing their clients' dreams to life.

Thanks to the many options and wide range of choices available to players, each project will be unique, whether it involves designing a house, interior decoration or exterior improvements. At each step, the player can set up a virtual visit to ensure that, once finished, the project corresponds to the specifications and the clients are satisfied… with new skills unlocked in the process.

"Lots of people think about their dream home and decor, so seeing it come to life onscreen with Architect Life is highly gratifying. Benefiting from the studio's technical expertise, we have created a game that is both comprehensive and easy to access, so everyone's ideas can become reality. We hope that each player will appreciate and create their very own 'Home sweet home',” explained Sylvain Grosdemouge, CEO and founder of Shine Research.
