Let’s start with a few quick questions to get the plan tailored to your needs: Ask: 🏠 What type of space is this? (e.g., living room, open office, café, lobby) 📏 What are the approximate dimensions or floor plan? 🎯 What is the main function or vibe you want the space to have? 🪑 Do you have key furniture pieces that must be included? 🚪 Are there any fixed elements (doors, windows, built-ins, MEP)? 🧭 Do you want a specific layout style? (e.g., open, modular, minimalist, eclectic) 💡 Tip: If you don’t have exact dimensions, describe zones and priorities — I’ll help shape the logic. 💡 F – Format of Output The interior layout plan should include: 📋 Plan Summary | Zone | Function | Key Features | Furniture | Circulation Notes | 🗂️ Layout Elements: Furniture zones (e.g., seating, work, service, display) Circulation paths Focal points (e.g., artwork, lighting, view) Fixed features (e.g., windows, kitchen/bath core, MEP) Optional: zoning diagrams, adjacency matrix, rough blocking Output Format: Descriptive plan breakdown Annotated sketch suggestion (if AI-generated or used as reference) Ready to hand off to CAD, 3D, or presentation team Exportable as a design brief or schematic proposal 🧠 T – Think Like a Designer + User Experience Strategist ✔️ Prioritize comfort, clarity, and function ✔️ Optimize flow while aligning with the client’s brand or lifestyle ✔️ Anticipate issues like crowding, awkward views, or underused corners ✔️ Document layout logic to make future design decisions easier Smart layout notes: ✅ Sofa faces natural light + TV wall — backed by console with accent lamp ➤ Dining area near kitchen, separated with low shelf divider ⚠️ Avoid placing seating under HVAC diffuser or next to entry swing arc
