floorplan-ai-docs

Welcome to floorplan-ai-docs, an open documentation project that collects practical knowledge for using AI tools to draft, refine and iterate on residential and small commercial floor plans.

This site is aimed at three groups of readers:

Homeowners and renters who want to sketch a room layout before remodelling or moving furniture, without learning a full CAD application.
Real-estate agents and short-stay hosts who need to produce simple but accurate floor plans for listings.
Designers, architects-in-training and developers who want a vocabulary of repeatable prompts and a checklist of common mistakes to avoid when piping AI output into downstream tools.

The focus throughout is on workflow: how to describe a space well in plain language, how to read what an AI gives back, and what to fix manually before sharing the result. The examples in this guide work with general-purpose chat assistants as well as dedicated browser tools such as floorplanai.net.

How the documentation is organised

The Quickstart walks you through your first floor plan end-to-end.
Prompt templates is a library of starting points for common housing types.
Layout guidance discusses the design principles an AI tool will not enforce on its own.
Glossary translates everyday words into the architectural vocabulary models respond to most reliably.
Frequently asked questions answers the most common practical questions about scale, units and exporting.
References and further reading collects further reading and the online tools used in the examples.

Contributing

This is an open documentation project. If a prompt template does not work for you, or you have a layout pattern worth sharing, please open an issue or a pull request on the GitHub repository.
