Start with a written brief

A first layout from a written brief

Start here when you have a room program but no existing plan to transform. Describe the footprint, rooms and access priorities; the workspace offers area or width-and-depth inputs, units, floor count, footprint shape and drawing styles. These guide a raster layout concept rather than a measured plan.

What to explore

  • Compare front-facing and rear-facing shared living while keeping the same two-bedroom program.
  • Explore a rectangular versus L-shaped footprint with the same room counts.
  • Compare technical, minimal, colored or furnished presentation styles before a measured design is developed.

From a brief to a concept

  1. Prepare the spatial brief

    List the rooms, preferred exterior shape and which rooms need direct access to daylight.

  2. Choose a constrained direction

    Adapt the example below to your actual project. Specify overall footprint and room adjacency and avoid asking for unverified measurements or approved technical output.

  3. Compare against the source

    Compare overall footprint and room adjacency before judging the visual style. Trace the entrance and each main route; flag missing openings, overlapping furniture or unexplained extra area.

Suggested brief

Draft a rectangular two-bedroom home concept with shared living and dining, a kitchen near the entrance and bedrooms away from the main social zone.

How to review the result

  • Trace a visitor route from the entrance to the living room without crossing a bedroom.
  • Check labels, door symbols, boundaries and furniture scale manually. A convincing line style is not proof of feasibility.

What the image cannot establish

  • Generated geometry, text and proportions can be inconsistent. The output is not a CAD/BIM file, a verified dimensional drawing or an engineering calculation.
  • The result is a raster concept image. Reconstruct the selected layout in an appropriate design tool for measured or editable work. Do not use the concept to authorize construction, demolition or regulatory compliance.

Questions about this workflow

Can this produce an editable plan?

The result is a raster concept image. Reconstruct the selected layout in an appropriate design tool for measured or editable work.

What input should I prepare?

List the rooms, preferred exterior shape and which rooms need direct access to daylight.

How should I review overall footprint and room adjacency?

Trace a visitor route from the entrance to the living room without crossing a bedroom.

What should happen before implementation?

Provide measured site information to a qualified designer, resolve the assumptions in the concept and prepare the appropriate coordinated drawings and approvals.

What if I already have a plan image or a hand sketch?

Use Image to Floor Plan for an existing source image, or Sketch to Floor Plan to clean up a hand-drawn arrangement. This text-first generator explores a new arrangement from requirements; it is not the right starting point when preserving an existing source is the main task.
