Tuscan House || Casa Toscana


I've forgot how much I love creative. I built this house because I was bored, and wanted to experience different palettes when building Italian houses. The palette I used for the walls was End Stone Bricks, End Stone, Sandstone, Smooth Sandstone, and Regular Sand. For the roof, I used Bricks, Granite, Smooth Granite, and a little spruce planking here and there. I built the basic structure of this house, with an arch for the doorway, then just built with were I went. This house features a small elevated loft with a study, a fireplace (I really didn't furnish the inside much), a Pergola and table in the back, a tiny stable (I suck at building stables), some piles of logs and whatnot, and a little vineyard. Here are some vague instructions for this style, as following tutorials is cool, but I encourage you to experiment with your own designs of any Minecraft builds.

1. Make a basic floorplan, I used a mix of Stone Bricks, Mossy, Cracked and Normal, Some Andesite, Stone, and Cobble. I built the shape of the floor I wanted then filled the floor in with Spruce Planks, and terraformed the land around the base to make it flow.
2. filled in the walls, on this house, I made them 6 blocks high with a mix of End Stone and End Stone Bricks, Sandstone and Smooth Sandstone, and Sand. I randomised the texture to make it look organic.
3. I built the roof. I used Spruce and Oak stairs for the outline, then filled the roof in with Bricks, Smooth and Normal granite, and some Spruce planks. I covered the underside with Spruce Stairs to make it fit into the house more.
4. Then, I built the elevated area, I picked a portion of the roof to put it on, and built the skeleton with Stripped Spruce Logs. Then, I essentially followed the same procedure for the roof and walls for the loft area.
5. I then added windows. I put End Stone Stairs on the top and bottom of the window sills and put gray Stained glass in them. I used trapdoors for the shutters.
6. I then built the chimney, I built a fireplace inside, and made a chimney going to the roof with the same stone mix as the base (as well as some dead coral). I then places a campfire on top of the chimney, closed trapdoors around it, and finally, a granite stair on top.
7. I made the Pergola with fences for the support, fence gates, and campfires (deactivated with shovels) on top.
8. Detailing: I added some paths made of grass path, coarse dirt, and gravel with slabs to make it smooth. I added lots of leaves and plants where I wanted, and some lighting too. Details are mainly personal preference.

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy this style as much as I did.
