A method of design for creating a habitable structure (60) containing architectural elements (61C) 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 or interior stage set that was used during the filming of the motion picture or television show. Mismatches between interior and exterior architectural elements are resolved by establishing priorities among the architectural elements, by stretching or squeezing of the architectural elements, or by using an architectural facade separate from an interior wall of the habitable structure. Such habitable structures may form part of an entertainment complex or a community.
