A method of design for creating a habitable structure containing architectural elements that collectively cause the habitable structure to resemble a fanciful structure portrayed in a motion picture or television show. The fantasy of the motion picture or television show is made more real by determining the dimensions of the architectural elements of a movie studio backlot facade and an interior stage set that were used during the filming of the motion picture or television show. Mismatches between architectural elements are resolved by establishing priorities to select between the conflicting architectural elements, or by using an architectural facade to incorporate both of the conflicting elements.
