Floorplan Of The Casa Madrigal (Encanto)

Floorplan of the Casa Madrigal (Encanto)

I didn't see anything about this online, so I went through the movie and managed to map out the house as best I could. Keep in mind that the bedroom sizes aren't accurate since they are magic.

If you care to read some very in-depth analysis about this house, check out everything under the cut

First, a note. I actually forgot a door right where I put the label "1st floor". There is a little green door there, I put a picture in the section titles "Camilo's dance hallway"

Ok disclaimer all these screenshots came from YouTube so my apologies in advance for the quality of some of these.

The 3rd floor

The "3rd floor" is just a few rooms. On the right is "Bruno's tower" but there's also a room that they keep the candle. Abuela seems to have access to this from within her room. There is also an area on the left that has some windows (on the outside) but it's unclear what this is, who it belongs to, and how to access it. It's possible all of this is Abuela's space.

Bruno's tower - 2nd floor

There's this weird empty space near the stairs next to Luisa's room. It seems to just be a wall, and based on the outside I'm simply assuming it's part of Bruno's tower and it's inaccessible from the main part of the house.

Mirabel's magic door

Each kid is on the same side of the hall as their parent (Pepa's kids are all on the "left", Julieta's are on the "right"). Based on the weirdly large gap between Luisa and Isabela's doors, it's safe to assume that Mirabel's was supposed to be in between them. However, it's not totally clear.

During the flashback to Mirabel's ceremony we actually see Abuela's photos in the background (the ones where she poses with all the kids). This seems to just be an error though, since these photos are between Abuela and Pepa's doors, and Pepa's door is clearly not visible in Mirabel's flashback but is VERY visible when Antonio gets his door.

It's also possible that they just moved the pictures lol. If that's the case, then is means the pictures used to be on the wall outside the nursery.

Inside the walls

Unfortunately, I could not map out the path Bruno and Mirabel walk inside the walls. The sequence is all over the place, so the only things I know for sure are the entrance point (just beside Dolores' door) and Bruno's wall-room (which we know if behind the family tree mural in the dining room).

In all technicality, the inside of the walls shouldn't be as easy to navigate as the movie shows. There should be a lot of doors and windows that block a walking path, but it's possible we just don't see them (this could also be why Bruno does so much parkour; he's avoiding the windows).

Pepa's corner room?

On my layout of the first floor, I labeled the corner room as "Pepa room". This is NOT her magical room, but instead the area we see here

We never see this room again and have no idea how it connects to the house, since we don't have any other angles and we never see any doors leading to it. We do see a door on the area I labeled "walkthrough", and since we never see what's inside that door, it lead me to believe it might be this isolated room where Pepa can go calm down (notice the raindrops, weather vane, and picture of Antonio. This is a room she goes to a lot).

You may be wondering if this is instead Pepa's magical room, but I don't think it is. We see this room just after Mirabel runs down some very tight stairs inside the walls. The fact that stairs could fit in the walls here led me to believe that they were in the walls of Bruno's tower (perhaps the part I marked as "inaccessible" on the 2nd floor), which just so happens to be above this room on the layout.

Either way, the fact that Mirabel ran DOWN stairs means she was now on the first floor, which means this is not Pepa's magic room.

Patio

We see the family gather to eat breakfast on this little patio area outside. There are two doors that lead here, one from the dining room and the other from the kitchen.

Pedro's portrait and the entrance

Just before Antonio's gift ceremony, we get to see how the stairwell with Pedro's portrait connects to the house.

Mirabel and Antonio come down the Pedro stairs and into the room with the flower curtain. When the curtain opens, we see Antonio is standing in the entrance foyer (if you look closely, you can even see the door to the nursery above him).

The one error

Surprisingly, this movie did a very good job of making the character move around the house in a logical way. Every time I saw a character go from one area to another, I'd follow their path on my map and find that it worked! The ONLY time there is ever an error is at the very start of the movie. Mirabel slides down the Pedro stairs before we see this:

We see the nursery door in the top left and the foyer below it, and Mirabel is walking through the "general living space" (in other scenes, we see this area sometimes has hammocks, couches, and a coffee table set up). Based on the way she's walking though, she would technically be going into Pedro's staircase.

When I first started mapping this out, this scene actually threw me off because I assumed she was going to the dining room. But after going through every other scene in the movie, I realized that this scene was just a little wrong.

To make this all make sense, we can just assume that she simply wandered around between shots.

Camilo's dance hallway

During "we don't talk about Bruno", Camilo has a little sequence in this... random hallway

Thanks to the quality of these screenshots, I had to boost the image on the right to show that there's a door behind him.

I initially had no idea where this hall is supposed to be, but I figured it out, it's the area I labelled "walkthrough" on the first floor (directly under Abuela's room). The walls are the same, the green door is in the right place, and even though it's not in the screenshots, Camilo DOES pass those wall sconces during his dance. The floor is even the same, all they did was move the furniture out of the way.

Anyways, that's all. Thanks for reading!

If this gets enough love (or I see a demand for it) maybe I'll make a fully coloured version with detail and stuff

When I was training to be a battered women’s advocate, my supervisor said something that really blew my mind:

“You can always assume one thing about your clients; and that is that they are doing their best. Always assume everyone is doing their best. And if they’re having a day where their best just isn’t that great, or their best doesn’t look like your best, you have to be okay with that.”

Any now whenever anyone in my life, either a friend or a client, frustrates me, disappoints me, or pisses me off, I just tell myself They are doing their best. Their best isn’t that great today, but I have days where my best isn’t that great either. 

Part (2/??) of Encanto Tale of Three Sisters

Part 1

This one ties to the post about Bruno and his eye contact, or moreso his avoidance of it as well as the trait of hiding in his Ruana!

Also from this post:

He hides in his ruana a lot!

More stuff to possibly take into accoubts for fan fics

I love the idea of Isabela's part of We Don't Talk About Bruno not being a vision at all. Like, I just imagine Bruno tucking in his niece after her gift ceremony, and he notices she's kinda freaking out after everything in the day, and like:

"He told me that the life of my dreams Would be promised and someday be mine He told me that my power would grow Like the grapes that thrive on the vine"

Only, when he told her it'd probably be worded more like this:

"Kid, you're gonna have the life of your dreams one day, I promise. Your power is gonna grow like... uh... like grapes! Grapes on a vine! Because you're sweet like a fruit, and your power is- okay that one kinda didn't work as well out loud, but, y'know what I mean."

And then little Isabela asks if he saw it in a vision, and he chuckles and says yeah, because it'd be nice to predict something nice for once, and he hopes that this particular prediction will come true.

Bruno’s arm thing :)

I have MORE!

Dolores grooving to the music a mile away

This whole scene is just as painful in the script lmao "The kids look at her like she's delusional" I can't-

Nailed it

CASITA 😭♥️

Camilo's extra creepy Bruno tale

Did Mirabel write this script?! Hahhaha

The whole dinner scene is such a disaster I love it so much (I love the aggressively written Avocado)

Isa being mesmerized by her weird little cactus

Thanos-snapped 💅

More proof that Mirabel wrote the script
