What is going on inside the White House?

The U.S. command tower, the White House, is known to work for U.S. presidents and ministers. However, there are many people who say, 'I often see movies, but I don't know the details of where in the building there are ...'

Jared Owen, a YouTube channel that explains the mechanism of things using 3D animation, has released a movie ' What's Inside of the White House? ' That explains the position and role of the White House room to solve such questions.

What's Inside of the White House?-YouTube


The White House is located in Washington, DC between Virginia and Maryland, and is located at the star on the image.

The White House is home to the President of the United States. Many people will imagine this angle when they hear the 'White House'.

If you zoom out from here ...

You can see that the White House consists of three different buildings. From the left, 'West Wing', 'Residence' in the center, and 'East Wing' on the right.

Let's start with East Wing, the building on the right.

East Wing is a two-story building with many rooms and offices

Many of the rooms on the first floor, the second floor in Japan, are occupied by Mrs. First Lady and his staff.

There is a guest entrance on the right side of the image, east of the building.

Next is the

ground floor , the first floor in Japan.

There is a 'Lobby' in the center of East Wing ...

In the back of the lobby 'Garden Room (

Garden Room )', and 'East Portico (east of the portico)', is on the north side of the top there is a 'Family Theater (Family Theater)'.

The Family Theater is mainly used for watching movies, but sometimes it is used by the President during rehearsals for speeches.

Next we'll look at the White House's Residence, the main part known as the President's 'house'.

On the north side of the residence, on the right side of this image ...

There is the northern entrance, 'North Portico'.

On the south side on the other side is the South Portico (south portico).

Cut the building into slices and look inside the Residence.

The Residence is divided into 4 floors above ground and 2 floors below ground.

We will introduce from underground. The bottom layer consists of “Storage”, “Laundry”, and “Mechanical Rooms” for operating the White House. And there is a toilet in the southwest, that is, at the bottom left of the image.

There is another floor above the basement ...

Above the basement is the basement mezzanine floor. The floor is not very high on this floor. The basement mezzanine has the same structure as the bottom floor, and many rooms are used as warehouses.

Next, let's look at the ground floor.

The ground floor connects to East Wing and West Wing.

The Center Hall in the center of the Residence connects East Wing and West Wing. It is also connected to most rooms.

From the right in front of the image, there are '

Vermeil Room ' and ' China Room ' where many decorations are placed.

In front of the center hall is the '

The Diplomatic Reception Room '. Foreign ambassadors enter the White House from here.

To the west of the diplomatic reception room, on the left side of the center of the image, there is a room called the '

Map Room ' where the President is interviewed.

From the north side across the Center Hall, from the top right of the image, the

Library and Curator's office, which are used for tea and meetings hosted by the President and First Lady, and the Curator's office There is ...

Next, there is the 'Secret Service' room in the center, and 'Kitchen' in the west corner.

At the top of the image, along the northern wall, there is a “Flower Shop” on the right and a “Carpenter's Shop” on the far left.

In the center is 'Bowling Alley'.

This bowling lane is just below the 'North Portico' staircase.

Next, I will explain the first floor, the second floor in Japan.

On the first floor, from the east side on the right of the image, there is an

East Room , where large events such as dinners and receptions are held. The three rooms in the center are the ' Green Room ' with green walls, which can be used as a dining room, the ' Blue Room ', which is used as a reception and reception corridor, and the ' Red, ' which acts as a parlor and music room. Room '.

In the center of the first floor there is a “

Cross Hall ” and an “ Entrance Hall ” ……

On the east side of the entrance hall, on the right side of the image is the '

Grand Staircase ' (pointed by the red arrow). This stairway is the path that the President and First Lady take to the main entrance

On the left side of the image, on the west side of the building, is the

State Dining Room , which serves meals for a large number of guests.

Behind the `` State Dining Room '' is the `` Family Dining Room '', and beyond the wall on the right side is the `` Ushers Room '' where the servant guiding the guest waits. Waiting room) '.

Next, let's look at the second floor, the third floor in Japan.

The second floor is used as a residence for the president's family.

These rooms have been repurposed and repositioned over the last 200 years.

However, only this room, located southwest of the second floor, has traditionally been the President's BedRoom.

The top of the Grand Staircase, where the President and First Lady arrive at the main entrance, is located on the northeast side of this floor, in the position of the red arrow in the image.

This floor also has a separate dining room and kitchen from the first floor.

Next, let's move on to the description of the third floor, the fourth floor in Japan, and the top floor.

Basically, the third floor cannot be entered except for the president and family. Because it is a place for the president and family to relax. Here is used by the president and the family 'Music Room (Music Room)', 'Game Roome (game room)', 'BedRoom (bedroom),' 'Sitting Room (living room),' 'Linen Room (

linen room )', etc. there is

There is a solarium called 'Solarium' at the top floor of 'South Portico'. From here you can enjoy beautiful views over Washington DC.

There are promenades (promenades) on both sides of Solarium, and the points pointed by the red arrows in the image.

Finally, let's talk about West Wing, an annex in the west. West Wing is a two-story building where the president and staff have offices.

However, from the west, you can see another floor below the building, the first basement floor.

Looking inside the basement floor, West Wing passes from the west side on the left side of the image through 'Foyer' and 'Lobby' which connects to many rooms and offices.

There is a large room (Secret Service) for secret service.

Move farther to the lower left of the image and there is a large room southwest of West Wing.

This room is called the '

Situation Room ', from which the President of the United States can issue orders to the U.S. military around the world.

Next, let's look at the ground floor of West Wing. First of all, from the connection with Residence.

West Wing is connected by the “Residence” building in the center of the White House and the “West Colonnade”…

'West Colonnade' is separated by a wall into '

Press Briefing Room ' and 'Press Corps Offices'. “Press Briefing Room” is one of the famous rooms to watch on TV and movies.

Behind the Press Briefing Room is the

Cabinet Room , where presidents, ministers, secretaries and others meet.

Beyond the Cabinet Room is the

Oval Office , an unforgettable one.

The front entrance of West Wing is the northern part and the red arrow at the top of the image.

Many of the second floors of West Wing are offices of presidential staff.

This is the end of the explanation, but Owen who created the movie does not think that he could cover all the information of the White House yet, and he seems to be thinking about making the second movie about the White House. At the end of the movie, he says he wants to comment on his hope for the second movie.
