History Main / BuildingOfAdventure

* The 4077 base in ''[[{{MASH}} M*A*S*H]]''. Although the show mostly takes place at the base, this was subverted with scenes from Toyko, Seoul, airports, inside and around huts, a few bars, scenes of travel to and from the base, and sometimes in the helicopters that bring the wounded.

* ''Brighton Beach Memoirs'' and ''Broadway Bound'', the first and third installments of Neil Simon's Eugene trilogy, both take place in the Jerome household.

* TheAddamsFamily mansion in the SNES platforming video games.

* Evangeline's villa in ''MahouSenseiNegima'' is capable of becoming/imitating any environment the cast's training may require (she created it herself and controls it). She also seems to have created many of them throughout Earth and the [[MagicalLand Magic World]].
* ''SeitokaiNoIchizon'' takes place almost entirely in the Student Council room.

* Initially, the bar in ''{{Cheers}}''. After a couple of seasons, scenes outside the bar became a regular occurrence.

* The house of ''Panic Room''.

* ''DieHard'': Most of the first film is set either in the office building or the carpark directly outside it.

* ''GunnerkriggCourt'': Almost none of the action in has taken place outside of the titular school/industrial complex, with the exception of a brief foray into Gillitie Forest (which lies just outside the Court) and a flashback to an hospital. ''GunnerkriggCourt'' successfully manages this in spite of the fact that the titular Court is a lot like a small city (with housing complexes, commodities like hairdressers, and a full mass-transit system) due to the fact that the vast majority of the Court is disturbingly empty (even considering the robots).

* Castlevania in, well, ''Castlevania''.

** ''ResidentEvil2'': The majority of takes place in the Raccoon City Police Department. You ''do'' eventually leave it, but not until fairly late in the game.
