Spatial Floor Planning Suite
Planner and tile-floor visualization with admin/API surfaces — tools for laying out spaces and finishes interactively.
Outcomes
Experience
Interactive planning
Users manipulate space, not only browse photos.
Content
Admin-managed
Finish catalogs stay editable.
Structure
Multi-app suite
Planner, tile, admin evolve on purpose.
Context
Buyers decide finishes when they can see them in a plan — tools must be interactive and content-fed.
Challenge
Planning floors and finishes requires interactive spatial tools, catalogs, and admin content — more than a static brochure site.
Approach
We engineered a multi-surface suite: planner client, tile-floor experience, API, and admin areas for categories and content that feed the visualization tools.
Architecture
Web planner clients, PHP/Node API surfaces, admin modules for catalogs/categories, interactive floor visualization frontends.
Scope
- Floor planner
- Tile visualization
- Catalog admin
- APIs
Constraints
- Performance of interactive canvases
- Catalog complexity
- Browser variance
Solution highlights
- Dedicated planner surfaces instead of one mega-page
- Admin-fed categories for scalable content
- API boundary between content and visualization
Technologies
Results
- Interactive planning experiences for spatial layouts
- Tile/finish visualization flows for customer decisions
- Admin/API path to keep catalogs maintainable
- Separated planner vs admin concerns
Lessons learned
- Spatial UIs need their own performance budget.
- Catalog admin is half the product.
- Split experiences beat one overloaded planner.
