Build a Complete House in SketchUp | Part 1: Walls & Lobby

Learn how to model a complete house in SketchUp step by step, starting from an empty layout and turning it into a fully structured 3D home. In Part 1 of this full house SketchUp series, we create the walls, floor, doors, windows, ceiling, entrance lobby, and custom closets.

This SketchUp house modeling tutorial is the beginning of a 3-part home design series:

Part 1 — House Structure & Lobby
Part 2 — Living Room
Part 3 — Kitchen

In this first chapter, you’ll see how to build the main architectural shell of the house, create accurate openings, organize geometry with Groups and Components, and model detailed entrance closets before moving into the next spaces.

🔥 NT Face – used in this tutorial to create walls faster:
