The house's address was inconsistent (particularly in the older seasons of the show), being 94 Evergreen Terrace, 1094 Evergreen Terrace, 555 Evergreen Terrace[23], 723 Evergreen Terrace, and 430 Spalding Way. By common sense, it should be 740 Evergreen Terrace(although sometimes numbers do get skipped like that maybe they are oversized lots for example). On April 28, Weinstein, a former writer on “The Simpsons,” tweeted a photo of the floor plan for 742 Evergreen Terrace as it was drawn in 1990. (The show’s first episode premiered on Dec. 17, 1989.) Despite the show’s 30-plus years on the air, and its central place in pop culture, this is the first official floor plan for the Simpson house that’s ever been released. Many episodes in which Springfield is hit by extreme heat waves indicate that the house lacks air conditioning. In a flashback episode, Homer steals Ned Flanders' air conditioner and puts it in the window.
The Basement
The backyard of the house is surrounded by a wooden picket fence and a low box hedge. It features a patio and Bart's treehouse, from which the "Treehouse of Horror" Halloween specials take their name. Occasionally, there is a hammock tied to two trees near the fence that borders Ned Flanders's backyard. Lisa’s updated room features desk and chair that are made from reclaimed wood, green walls of living moss and plants that clean the air, and big windows that provide natural light to the room. Lisa’s original bedroom looks a lot like a smaller version of her parents’ vivid bedroom. Though it looks sophisticated, the room’s combination of solid vibrant colors is not that relaxing to the eyes.

I also wanted to compare this floor plan to the floor plan of the "real"Simpsons home in Las Vegas, which is included here. Welcome to the world of The Simpsons, where yellow-skinned characters and quirky humor have entertained us for decades. If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to step inside the Simpson family’s beloved home, you’re in for a treat! In this virtual tour, we’ll explore each room in detail, pointing out fun Easter eggs and references from the show, all while discussing the layout and design of the Simpsons house. In The Simpsons Movie, the house and all of the family's possessions are completely destroyed by a sinkhole under Maggie's sandbox, which expands after the Simpsons escape through it and the police fire their service weapons into it. At the end of the film, the townsfolk and the family themselves rebuild the house in exactly the same manner as it was before, restoring the "status quo".

The Master Bedroom: Homer and Marge’s Retreat
The house was destroyed in The Simpsons Movie and rebuilt in the exact same manner. 742 Evergreen Terrace is the main location in The Simpsons and the address of the Simpson family's house. “Simpsons” fans may notice the layout doesn’t include the basement — a frequent location for various Simpson shenanigans. Twitter users chimed in, noting the different spots the show has placed the basement staircase. About one in eight men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime, according to the American Cancer Society. Prostate cancer risk is higher in African American men and in Caribbean men of African ancestry than in men of other races.

It is also consistent with the floor plan of the house in "VirtualSpringfield". By this point, Fox and Kaufman and Broad were arranging tours for locals and tourists hoping to catch a glimpse of the interior. Groening came out for an appearance and spray-painted some Bart graffiti on the garage before signing his name in the front path cement. Lines with wait times of more than two hours twisted around the block, and visitors were expected to wear surgical-style booties to avoid tracking in dirt from outside. The house has protruding bay windows and a rounded front entryway, which are both unusual for the prefabricated construction on the block.
Downtown Los Angeles: Broad Museum
The show was released in 1989 and is the longest-running series in American TV with more than 600 episodes. The Simpsons’ house has appeared in every single episode and is integral part of the ways in which the sit-com satirises American life, culture and society. Even the family cat, Snowball II, is seen in between the walls from time to time.
The Simpson’s Family Home Reimagined in Different Architectural Styles
But it is important to remember that The Simpsons is a fictional family living in a fictional home in a sit-com. A key observation Gustavo made concerns the TV and the TV room in the house. While life flows in between all communal rooms, it is the TV-living room that mostly appears in all episodes as the epicentre of family life. The analysis shows that the TV-living room with the famous red sofa facing it is indeed the most visually connected room and the second most integrated room in the house. The team’s goal was to be 90 percent normal, with occasional lapses into cartoon continuity. Door frames were widened and lengthened to accommodate Marge’s hair and Homer’s girth.

In the episode "Diatribe of a Mad Housewife", the painting has a plaque saying it was based on a scene from Moby Dick. In the Season 27 episode "Barthood", young Lisa is seen drawing the sail boat painting. In the episode "Homer and Ned's Hail Mary Pass", Homer destroys the painting over the couch and Marge retrieves a replica out of a closet. The painting is also destroyed by Lisa's guinea pig in "The War of Art" but it gets replaced with a replica made by a famous art forger. The basement always includes a washing machine, a clothes dryer, and, after the episode "Blood Feud", a large Olmec statue of a head which was a present from Mr. Burns given to Bart in that episode. Bart hints in one episode that the basement has a problem with radon gas, then lets a homeless man sleep there in "The Day the Violence Died".

The stairs leading to the second floor were slightly steeper than normal. The downstairs floor was poured and painted concrete rather than hardwood or carpet, the better to mimic the show’s flat colors. The homeowner's association wasn’t keen on having a cartoon house that broke conformity requirements by being painted solar yellow. And the current owner had to learn to live with the property being a source of perpetual curiosity for fans of the show who brazenly turn her doorknobs and peer through her windows at all hours of the day and night. As it turns out, the reality of living in a fantasy can get a little complicated.
Opening it for tourism was more or less prohibited; the homeowner’s association wanted the orange and yellow exterior repainted as soon as possible. She did briefly broach the possibility of having Kaufman and Broad move the house to her property, but the logistics of that made it implausible. As noted in the last revision of the floor plan, the home seemed to evolvethrough the earlier episodes.
Representing graph relations of visual inter-connectivity of each location to all other locations in the plan through colours, this analysis shows that the main living room, where visitors are usually entertained, is the most integrated space in the house. Have you ever wondered what the Simpsons’ house would look like in real life? Well, wonder no more, as our friends from NeoMam Studios have created realistic 3D renders of the most iconic rooms of the fictional residence. And since the Fox animated sitcom is turning 30 this December, NeoMam Studios, with the help of interior designer Pat McNulty, has also taken the liberty to redesign each room based on 2019’s hottest interior design trends.
As part of the makeover, the room’s wishy-washy pastel shades were replaced with a bold Memphis palette balanced against black and gray geometrics such as angular desks and chairs. Additionally, Bart’s random movie posters were also replaced with ‘80s Pop Art prints that are screaming for attention. Though Bart’s original bedroom looks nice, it’s pretty obvious that it lacks personality. So in order to give it a character that truly pops up, NeoMam Studios reimagined the room using the elements of the Memphis Design style.
The house is shown to have a gas furnace, as well as a gas stove, water heater, and dryer. In "Days of Wine and D'oh'ses", Homer reroutes the gas line to turn a totem pole into a fire-breathing "god," filling the entire house with gas in the process. It sits just across the street from the Disney Hall and designed to both contrast with the Disney Hall's perforated metal exterior and respect its presence.
By design, the fictional family home encapsulates the American suburban stereotype. But what if—in some bizarre alternate reality—the suburban stereotype as we know it had evolved into something quite different? Marketing agency NeoMam have provided the answer, following a recent commission by HomeAdvisor, in which they gave the Simpson family home a series of architectural makeovers. A simple painting of a boat hangs on the wall above the living room couch.
This feature results in a ring of circulation, linking the hall, the living room, the TV-room, the kitchen, and the dining room together. This circuitous pattern of connections shows that the areas of everyday life blend with each other and with the places where the family receives its guests. Smells from the kitchen and sounds from the TV room are not isolated or controlled but part of the same permeable space accessible to all.
