The Architecture of Breaking Bad

- Breaking Bad is one of the greatest shows, partly due to the development of Walter White’s character.
In this video, I examine how Vince Gilligan and his team utilise architecture to elevate Walter’s character while also analysing the architectural structure.

Them only having 1 bathroom would surely explain why hank is shitting in the master bathroom lol
Walter got caught by Hank cause he had only one bathroom.
Literally 😂
Do people have two or someth??? 😅
@@lightningjadejavierIn a house with four people? I’d kinda hope so, two minimum
@@counter.123 that sounds abnormal. do you need to poop all the time?
@@rawmaw it’s not just about pooping, even just sharing a bathroom with one person sucks if you need to brush your teeth or shower or something and someone is using it
and that’s besides the point. I’ve never heard of a middle income suburban american home having 3 bedrooms and 1 bath. it’s even weirder when you consider that it’s in the master bedroom. like what if walt jr has to pee in the middle of the night but his parents are asleep? it’s just kinda weird. this would be ok in a 3 bedroom apartment or something but a family home should at least have a guest bathroom
Now I’ll never be able to unsee how the house only has one toilet or how Holly’s room doesn’t have a window
Hahaha mb bro 😂
But hollys room does have a window.... todd and kenny entered the house through it to threaten skylar
Do people have more than one toilet???
@@lightningjadejavier yup.
@@garynubipwek3178they entered Skylar's room because holly was in there, she wasn't in her room.
anyone ever notice that they have a garage but always park in the driveway?
Idk I know plenty of people that have garages and do this bc they use their garage for storage
At my parents old house they would do that but because the cars weren't able to fit inside
i live in maine and basically everyone does that, we use it for storage and occasionally for parking if we have enough room/need to for some reason
Living in New Mexico I can tell you that’s common out here. No basements and no real attic storage (and no super cold temps) means garages are used as storage (or additional bedrooms).
@ericw712 yo, that's where I'm at!
i love the way you insert your character interacting with the environment, so creepy yet endearing...
I love these type of videos, especially the ones that look into every crook and cranny of a building. It pisses me off that this house has a bathroom that can be only accessed through the master bedroom and not through that one hallway.
Great analysis! I always loved how Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul use architecture. Walt's house, Jesse's house, the super lab, Los Pollos, Saul's office, the RV and many more spaces are basically characters in themselves. They have their own arcs, transformations and even emotional impact. When Walt and Jesse had to dispose of the RV for example, it felt almost like a character dying. Not many shows can do that.
I love this video! Fun fact the interior scenes are all shot in a sound stage in studio, only the external of the real house is ever shown
There is a second bathroom in the hallway. It's where Skylar was taking a bath when Walt's phone went off and he disappeared. It's also where Walt almost went into when he needed to use the bathroom, but used the kitchen sink instead
I love how you blended your character in with the footage.
I love that your whole video in itself is filled with great analysis but i love that you draw your characters to be in the shot too! Definitely make the video more enjoyable to watch!
I love that he dipped his feet into the pool! So cute 😂🩷
I think part of me just assumed the room with the water heater was also a bathroom for some reason. Now I'm cursed with the knowledge there is only one bathroom.
interesting video never thought id see an architecture analysis on breaking bad
I love how in the middle of the show as walter gets rich and transforms into heisenberg, so does the house, because he also did a lot of changes to the house
I finally found the Genesis of what will become a big channel in the future. Keep it up man, we need a full analysis on Breaking Bad's cars as well
as a fellow architecture student and breaking bad lover myself, great video!!! it always annoyed me how their house only had one bathroom in the master bedroom hahaha
1:18
Well she seems just LOVELY.
I feel very bad for the woman who has to deal with all those people just turning up to her house.
She could move…
you realize moving costs money and emotional attachment to the house right? people can’t just move on a whim
@@ablaze-pp7rf that’s why there’s never been a woman President.
@@ablaze-pp7rf Im sure they were paid pretty generously for letting their house be used for the show. Emotional attachment could play a factor but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Money is definitely not the issue, especially since they could sell the house for way more than it normally would cost because it's famous, and any millionaire would love to own the famous breaking bad house.
@@Profeshinal the fact you think it is in any way fair too say this at all makes me doubt you understand how a humans mind works
I always really liked this house because reminds me of my own home. Simple one story home(with two bathrooms) in the desert. I even live close by to a Venezia's. The show being in the 2000's also reminded me of my childhood years so that is also a part of why I feel connected to this place. Great video!
Great analysis! You could probably make an entire separate video discussing the interior decorating/lighting of the home. The set designers made some great choices. Like adding lights the bottoms of kitchen cabinets and that huge dinner table fixture, allowing for night time scenes to come across as intimate (Walt finally getting to hold Holly in S3E5) or unsettling (Walt getting the call from Mike at the end of S5E2). The choice to light the pool also gave viewers some great moments. While the house is unassuming, it reflects the tone of every scene so perfectly. Glad I stumbled onto your channel!
Thank you for the support! I think that's a really cool and interesting perspective that I haven't thought about. I'll definitely keep an eye out at the lighting in my next viewing of the show
@@tuarnproject the detailing is pretty nice in walters house, the 1970s-90s had very wooden interior design which is something worth missing in a sea of gray 2020s buildings, 70s-90s design gets a lot of critique for being "kitsch" or "dated" but its genuinely very charming, one style from the 70s a lot better than other styles at the time is the shed contemporary, but they really only appear in northern areas. also hanks house is very cool. cooler than walts, it has localized desert based architecture and for all maries flaws she has good interior design
this is it, there’s no more ways to analyze breaking bad, the edge of the universe is here
Great video! I love that we can seemingly never run out of things to talk about in this show! Forgive me if this was mentioned in the video and I missed it, but the interior of the house was built on a stage set, and likely doesn't reflect the actual interior of the real building. So, a lot of the choices we see were deliberately chosen and constructed by the creators... That dang bathroom though.
Thank you! You're definitely right, they did use a production set in most of the shots. You can tell from the inconsistencies between the shows set and the actual house
wait this is kinda goated? keep up the great work you’re sure to blow soon, I’d suggest to add some songs in the background to improve and show the tone of the scenes
Thank you, I really appreciate the feedback. I was actually tossing up between this video and a version of the video with background songs. I will definitely consider it in the future
Really cool and creative video format. I like your little omnipresent guy. Very underrated.
Hahaha thank you bro, I'm so glad you noticed my guy 😂
I always thought the bathroom situation to be particularly funny in this home. Although IRL the Layout will be different than it concludently "is" in the show.
Don't mind me , just commenting to drive engament on a underrated video.
Good idea
How is this channel not big?
Having only one bathroom in a three or four bedroom house remains the norm in the vast majority of the developed world. If you look at Canadian and British house plans, you will see that 75% only have one bath. That said, the bathroom in these houses is usually accessed via the hallway rather than one of the bedrooms.
Really cool. If you plan to make this sort of thing a series maybe it'd be interesting to hear what changes you would do to the house/architecture?
Also huge fan of the doodle guy standing in random spots in scenes
Thank you. I was actually thinking of doing that, I will definitely consider this in my next architecture video. And I'm glad you like my doodle guy 😂
really great video man cant wait to see more
This video prolly gon blow up
Algorithms finally working
Thank you for the support
1970s eclectic architecture of single family homes in the western united states did not focus on simplicity and minimalism. it was an era of malaise and the homes reflected this with cheaper materials and cluttered design languages
It certainly contrasts with the houses that look like they could almost be palaces, like the McCalester house in 'Home Alone'.
The floor plan image you used is wrong, I’ve spent weeks of my life making Walt’s house in bloxburg on roblox and I can tell you for a 100% fact that there is no door across from the front door that connects to the garage, we barely ever see any of the garage throughout the whole series (i know, I’ve scoured every episode for the slightest glimpse of it) and I can tell you with 100% certainty we never see how the garage is connected to the rest of the house. We see clearly that there is no doors that connect to it from inside Holly’s room, or walt juniors room, as we are shown all corners of both of those rooms, and there’s no door across from the front door like I said before, because we see in the episode where walt throws the pizza on the roof, when he walks up to the door and we see out of it, the hedge extends all the wall to the wall, as far as I know the only way into the garage is from the big fat metal garage door. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT IMAGES OF THE HOUSE IN REAL LIFE, WHERE THE GARAGE DOOR IS OPEN, YOU CAN SEE THERES A REGULAR WOODEN DOOR AT THE BACK OF IT, CONNECTING TO WHERE IT LOOKS LIKE THE CORNER OF HOLLY’S ROOM SO I’M JUST DONE. I AM NOT CRAZY, I KNOW THEY SWAPPED THOSE DOORFRAMES.
yapatron bro 😭
@@ablaze-pp7rf no I’m just very passionate about this particular subject
super cool video, would love to see one about succession or the sopranos 🙂🙂
I just saw a video a couple hours earlier on Reddit with these two British guys stopped in front, taking a video, and the woman who owns the house was so angry and yelling at them. Totally understandable. Apparently she’s owned the house for over 40 years so she owned it when they filmed, but she obviously didn’t know how famous the show would get. In addition to fencing outside now, she even had to put a metal roof on the house to make it easier to clean up all the pizzas that people throw up there. She used to be okay with people wanting to take pictures at first, but she’s at her breaking (bad) point now. Definitely kind of a nightmare.
such a cool idea, keep it up!!!
This was a really good friggin video
It would’ve made sense to have a one and a half bathroom where the hot water heater is at and have the water heater in the patio in its own enclosure. Hank would’ve never found out because chances are he would’ve used that bathroom instead of the one in Walt’s bedroom 🤣
underrated af
Holy! Only 82 subs and making content like you have atleast 100k subs :0
Maybe there was a shared bathroom between the two children bedrooms? Only accessible from within these rooms? There was never really a need to show the children's rooms in it's entirety. It would also still make sense that Hank used the big bathroom if that were the case, because he'd rather walk though the parents room than the children.
They've shown the entirety of both children's bedrooms on multiple occasions, there's only 1 door (+ closets) in each room
If only Walt added a toilet to the boiler room he wouldnt be caught.
please make more architecture videos, this was pretty fascinating
Wait a minute. In an interview, Gilligan said that the interior of the house was actually a stage set in a big warehouse. Can anyone confirm that?
I myself was appalled that poor Walt had to live in such a shrouded, dismal, ugly interior. Pre-meth-cook, his was a life of mind-numbing boredom and suffocating banality, devoid of beauty, joy, and dignity. It's amazing that Walt maintained a compliant façade for so long, without going stark-raving mad. I've known many penniless people who have a lot more joy and beauty in their life (with them living in ramshackle hippie shacks) than did wretched Walter White, who had none. The director created that interior to emphasize that Walt's life had been a banal, mediocre living hell. (How I wish that he had busted loose years before his diagnosis, and taken Flynn with him, both of them seeking beauty and joy and dignity, freed from the docile compliance to unworthy conventionality represented by this house.)
By the way, I was expecting an enraptured homage to the Mexican architecture filmed in BB...but wait, that's mostly in Better Call Saul. These Mexican film locations give a decisive contrast to Walt's miserable dump of a house. How about that farmhouse where Mike Erhmantraut is held captive by Gus Fring? You know, even Lalo's farmworker (the one that got the dental work so as to pass as Lalo's corpse)...even he lived in a lovely little house, a house the like of which Walt and Flynn could have lived in happily.

Great video man
Thank you bro
This is well put together and animated
I FUCKING LOVE BUILDINGS
InB4 video blows up
"Well you rented it to them!"
Cringe
I don’t mean to poke holes here, but where is the crawl space (on the right side of the hallway) and where is the second bathroom which skylar uses to bathe in the scene displaying her discovering Walt’s second cell phone (also on the right side of that hall if i’m remembering correctly)? that garage seems suspiciously big considering that we see literally none of it through the series.
Keep it up 👍. This is a great vid
I agree with this video. There should have been more attention paid to the quantity of bathrooms in locations.
One bathroom is the norm in most developed countries.
great video! What tool did you use at 5:20 to analyze the sun path?
Thank you! You can search up 'PD Sun-Path Map Web App,' onto any browser and it should be the first link under a website named 'bitbucket.' When you click on the website it's going to appear as a blank map. So make sure you look at the tabs above and click on the drop down menu saying 'map' then click on 'OpenStreetMap: Standard.' Now you can check the sunpath of any location in the world.
Holy shit the show ended 11 years ago, let it rest in peace already
shut up
I’m pretty sure there was a hall bathroom that was depicted in the show at one point.
there are actually windows in the nursery, in the episode where Jesse almost burns down the White residence, Skylar is going to put Holly to sleep or something and Walter says that she can close the windows in the nursery. no idea how that's supposed to work.
The window is next to the front door for that room. No one seems to remember that.
you forgot to mention the room where walt hides his experimental time travel technology towards the end of the series in a desperate yet fruitless bid to right what he had made wrong
remember when he almost lost jesse in the time vortex
Can i know what program u used for the sunpath bit?
shit man it took me until actually looking at your sub count to realize you have less than 100k. this is some high quality stuff. keep it up and good things will come your way fs :)
People really need to learn to separate a show from reality. There are actual people living there who deserve their privacy. Its so annoying how entitled people are where they have to argue with the people they are harassing as if they have a leg to stand on. Its like wtf You are the one being a creep because you watched a show.
308 Negra Arroyo Lane -- did no one in the writers' room even take Spanish 1?
Holly's room definitely has a window though. You can see it early season 1 when Skylar and Marie are painting it.
NOW THIS IS WHAT TH-cam WAS MADE FOR
Would the trees lose their leaves in NewMexico? Would they even have Autumn there?
Well done.
Lmao was your intro a spoof of Analyzing Evil?
awesome video, but you really need some background music.
I'm a man of simple tastes: i see a breaking bad video in my recommendations, i click on it
great video
This exact moment, Heisenberg became Usher 🎤 🕺🏽
You missed a major detail in the show. Junior never leaves the dinning table
you should do jesse's house!
And this was a great video!!!
After some deep research I am thoroughly shocked that Jesse's house (previously his aunts house) is less than 400 feet from Charles McGill's house, also for a little bit when I was younger my family lived in a 3 bed house with 1 bathroom which wasn't an ensuite thankfully but still it sucks ass
5:20 what is that tool, I’m very curious

@@tuarnproject thank you so much! You're so awesome
01:30 minutes opening for a 8 minutes video. Good ratio.
Remind me to skip the 16 minutes opening on your 90 minutes movie, when you'll make one.
Finished watching. It's shit. Could have been a Shorts video or something. WTF.
8 Minutes to say 1 thing.
Nice
house
the floorplan doesnt make sense i'm sorry
(hollys room has a window)
Me, looking from eastern europe:man, I'd kill for a house like that
Great for haunted house
it makes me sick seeing the people harass the owner of the house. (before anybody responds, i dont give a fuck it is just a house not a tourist attraction go watch the show again...)
the old owners were actually greatful for people visiting but I believe they died, and the people who live there now refuse to sell it for some reason. Also the current owners always feed the trolls and have been caught saying slurs and such to visitors.
next video do analysis of jesse pinkman house
pretty decent analysis. however, ur use of obscene words like shit feel really jarring as it clashes with the overall academic tone 😅
The garage doesn’t exist
This is boring, made worse by your monotone voice.
why do you sound so bored
How fucking boring.
