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

JavaScriptPHPWeb GL/Canvas UIREST APIs

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.
