How Will Your Floor Planning Process Be After You Introduce AI?

1. Start With the Big Picture

Since AI will do most of the heavy lifting, your crucial role is in eliciting design preferences, lifestyle choices, sustainability considerations, unique personality traits etc from your clients, make their decision-making process simpler and feeding them to the AI-driven tool to generate design ideas that translate from the vision of you and your client, to reality. The right, deep questions will help you get inputs readily and hyper-personalize your building designs. Even these qualifying questions can be generated with AI, and your inputs. But, that’s your call.

2. Customizing Based on Customer Feedback

As Holly remarks, the crux of the design now lies in ensuring your design has a human touch, your client is able to envision living in the dream home the power of AI generates, and it meets the codes. If not, keep tweaking based on feedback. Most often designers modify designs in between meetings, when they collect client feedback on all aspects of one design, go back, rework, come back and present, collect feedback again, and repeat.

Instead, you can sit with your client, and as and when they want to see something different or have a particular element changed, you can do it right away, show them the proof of concept, help them make informed decisions seeing the generated floor plans. This move will cement your client’s trust in you to do what they desire for. 

3. Decide the Style, Layout, and Flow of the Space

Once you’ve ironed out the details of lifestyle preferences, what rooms your homeowner needs to live such a lifestyle and how they want them to be built, you usually bring up adjacencies to narrow down on the proximity of those rooms. 

Your usual 10-15 design iterations to show different permutations and combinations of the rooms can be done in a few minutes now. Some designers believe the more design possibilities you show the client, the better, and if you’re one of them, you’re going to love how many sleepless nights AI will save you. What’s more? Just as you finish meeting with one client, you can move onto another, and work your magic for their unique requirements too.

You only have to put on your thinking hat and envision the aesthetic direction, zoning and circulation, prompt and train the AI until it gets it right. 

4. Finalize and Turn Around Designs Quickly

Once the feedback rounds are done with, you carve out the specifics, create 3D renderings and make the design choices ready-to-build. That should take you only half or even lesser time you’d usually take. Since the client completely knows you both are aligned, you won’t have as many changes as you’d expect when you show them the 3D rendering. Turn around design solutions quickly, make quick cash and move on to the next project.

How AI Creates Functional Layouts

With a shrinking space availability and space coming at an extraordinary premium, you need to make sure every inch is utilized adequately, for the present and future without having to remodel the house or keep buying fixtures to satiate their needs. You also have to be accurate, and produce high-quality blueprints to give the contractors and the client a crystal clear idea of how the final home will look like. 

Here are some ways AI makes your space functional:

1. Overlaying Colors and Materials

You can use generative AI design tools like AI interior design generator to give a few prompts to create images based on your client-specific design requirements. The tools are trained by machine learning algorithms using public information, so the exact quality might vary. But, with constant instruction, you’ll be amazed at the level of detail and customization it can get done for you. If you want to see varieties in color, shape or finish, or a combination, you can simply enter the text, and the tool will show you the variation, without affecting the original image.

2. Blending Secondary Inspiration in Your Original Design

Often your clients will show you their Pinterest saves, or clips they took from a friend’s apartment and ask you if it’s possible to recreate the same in their space. AI makes it simpler than ever now. All you need to do is take the reference picture, enter a prompt to instruct the tool on what you want to use from the new picture, onto the source picture, and it’ll carry out the task effortlessly. A few seconds after your client requests to see an inspiration piece in their home, you can tie it into your design and show them how it’ll look.

3. Connections with Vendors

Usually you’d have to add 3D models of branded decor items or scout for it, or request the brand for a custom model and wait for days on end. But in robust AI systems, you have access to a large repository of 3D models which when selected, can help you alert the vendors of the decor piece and proceed with the quote/purchase. 

4. Converting Images From 2D to 3D

Once you finalize the initial concept and complete optimization of the design with use of AI tools, you can smoothen your process one step ahead if you integrate it with your design tool, simply retrieve your saved and approved concept and generate 3D renderings instantly. No more going back and forth from initial presentation to manual sketching to CAD rendering to manual sketching and final render.
