Сервис для создания планировок помещений и интерьеров / Хабр

Ровно год назад, мы с партнером, решили стать стартаперами. Точнее, поняли, что теперь мы партнеры-стартаперы. То как поменялась после этого наша жизнь — тема отдельной статьи. Сейчас хотелось бы уделить внимание нашему детищу — сервису планирования помещений и интерьеров.

Итак, пару лет назад, оба фаундера практически одновременно попали в жизненную ситуацию, которая бывает у всех — настало время ремонта.

Мы, как айтишники, сразу же стали искать какие-то системы, которые помогли бы нам хоть как-то спланировать задуманное. Проведя дотошный рисерч, мы остались ни с чем. Почему? Потому что, как требовательные разработчики, искали идеальный софт.

Что в нашем понимании было идеальным:
— отсутствие Flash;
— работоспособность как на компьютерах, так и на планшетах;
— 3D-режим с возможностью вращения в реальном времени, а не пререндер с 8 углов;
— хранение в облаке, т.е. возможность вернуться к сохраненным данным с разных устройств;
— шаринг, ведь ремонт — дело совместное, поэтому не расшарить планировочку жене никак нельзя, не говоря уже об исполнителях ремонта;
— простота, ведь мы не хотели автокада, мы хотели игру Sims, только чуть более приближенную к реальности;
— отсутствие необходимости платить за сервис;
— ну и просто адекватный интерфейс.

Если честно, подобных сервисов немало, floorplanner.com, homestyler.com — одни из самых лучших. Все что мы нашли — это flash и еще раз flash, какие-то неудобные интерфейсы, отсутствие элементарных функциональных возможностей (например, геометрия чуть сложнее квадратной комнаты), псевдо 3D (фиксированные углы обзора, либо просто пререндеры) и т.д.

Мы не стали уступать своим критериям выбора сервиса. Как опытные разработчики, а к тому времени мы уже несколько лет проработали в одной команде в паре программист/дизайнер, мы сделали свой собственный сервис. Сначала это был прототип, позволяющий создавать планировки помещений с произвольной геометрией и возможностью расставлять там минимальный набор мебели. Позже, пройдя отборочный тур и получив приглашение от инкубатора Farminers, мы отбросили все посторонние дела и посвятили все свое время только планировщику.

Мы уже решили свои задачи, я сделал ремонт в квартире, мой партнер построил дом. А теперь хотим превратить это в полноценный общедоступный сервис.

Что сейчас представляет из себя Planner 5D.

Основа

Сервис разработан с использованием HTML5, он запускается на любых устройствах, где есть его поддержка. Это может быть даже телевизор, если он оснащен браузером (в частности Panasonic и Samsung мы опробовали лично).

Графика

2D — вектор (SVG), а 3D — WebGL, по этому все работает в рамках браузера. Мы постоянно стараемся улучшить качество картинки. Кроме динамических теней, бликов и др., мы сделали возможность менять материалы объектов. Т.е. у любого, скажем, дивана можно поменять как обивку (ткань, кожа…), так и дерево ножек, каркаса и т.д.

Работа с планировщиком

Максимально стараемся сделать его простым, это один из главных приоритетов. Целью было сделать подобие Sims. Иногда нам кажется, что мы добились своего.

Сообщество и социализация

Кроме шаринга в фейсбучек и твиттер, мы хотим сделать полноценное внутреннее сообщество. С общей галереей пользовательских проектов, обсуждением и т.д.

Встройка. Продвинутый share

Одна из фич, которую мы с удовольствием реализовали, было встраивание на сторонние ресурсы. Любую планировку можно встроить как ролик YouTube или Яндекс/Google карты. Копируем код, вставляем на сайтик, вуаля.

Также присутствует возможность экспорта получившийся картинки в высоком разрешении (jpg или png).

Облако

(тоже устали от этого термина, но что делать?)
Все данные хранятся на сервере, т.е. начать создавать планировку пользователь может дома на айпаде, продолжить в офисе из браузера, и показать результат вечером всей семье на телевизоре. В случае отсутствия соединения с сервером в момент сохранения данных, проект сохраняется локально и при первой возможности отправляется затем на сервер.

Для конечных пользователей сервис абсолютно бесплатен. Деньги мы зарабатываем, заключая партнерские договоры с производителями/ретейлерами мебели, сантехники, товаров для дома, обоев, окон, дверей и т.д.

Партнеры либо встраивают планировщик к себе на сайт, давая “примерить” клиентам выбранный товар, либо размещают свои товары у нас, в каталоге, прямо на сайте Planner 5D.

Кроме этого мы сотрудничаем с сектором недвижимости. Скоро запускаются несколько проектов, которые будут использовать планировщик как опцию своего сайта о продаже/аренде домов и квартир.

В ближайших планах выпуск отдельного приложения на iPad (думаем, ближе к ноябрю). Там же, на планшете, дополненная реальность. Т.е. “примерка” мебели, отделочных материалов и товаров для дома прямо в вашем помещении, на основе созданной планировки.

Мы знаем, что сервис не идеален, и каждый день совершенствуем его. Возможно это неправильно, но мы стараемся воплотить все, что просят пользователи. Часто пишут письма с просьбами добавить тот или иной объект, а иногда и новый функционал. И мы стараемся максимально быстро реализовать просьбу. Ведь сервис хоть и делается нашими руками, но воплощаются в нем желания пользователей, потому что это абсолютно “пользовательский” проект.

В начале лета я провел целый месяц в Кремниевой Долине, показывая сервис на различных тематических тусовках, представителям компаний и инвесторам. Фидбек собрать удалось колоссальный. Что главное, людям нравилось и они ждут развития продукта.

Набравшись смелости, предлагаем любимому Хабру оценить наш труд 🙂 На снисхождение не надеемся, ждем абсолютно честной, но конструктивной критики 🙂

90000 How to Read a Floor Plan with Dimensions Houseplans Blog 90001 90002 When we plan to build a new home, the floor plan is a treasure map, written in a symbolic language and promising the fulfillment of a dream. When we «read» a floor plan with dimensions we imagine the simple lines and arc’s stretching into walls, doors and windows, we imagine ourselves in a «home,» and we wonder how the spaces will feel both empty and filled with life (check out these floor plan trends from Builder Online).But the language of floor plans can be subtle. Experienced designers, builders, and home enthusiasts are regularly surprised by how different a finished home feels from what they imagined. 90003 90002 90005 Click here to explore our collection of best-selling floor plans. 90006 90003 90002 90005 Plan 888-13 (above) is a modern farmhouse style floor plan that is reminiscent of a dairy barn and employs traditional elements interpreted in a modern way. 90006 90003 90002 90013 What is a floor plan? 90014 90003 90002 Floor plans used to be called «blueprints.»They came in a roll and included all of the details required to build (or change) a home. Today, they still contain «building instructions» in the form of multiple pages of drawings, but most house plan are delivered as digital files and can be viewed on a screen or printed out onto regular paper for review, to get bids, or to submit for permits. 90003 90002 A plan «set» is the collection of all of the various individual pages that describe the house. Plan sets usually include: a site plan, building notes, floor plans for each level of the house, framing and roofing plans, electrical plans, plans for the mechanical systems, and construction details.90003 90002 A «Floor Plan» refers to the map of an individual floor. The simplest way to understand a floor plan is to imagine looking down on a doll house without its roof. 90003 90002 «Design drawings» are floor plans that include a modest amount of information and are created to communicate a home design to non-professionals. «Working drawings» or «construction drawings» contain much more information: they are used to build the home. For the most part, this article refers to design drawings.90003 90002 90013 Walls, Windows, and Doors — Plan Symbols and Features 90014 90003 90002 The walls are the strongest visual elements in a floor plan. Walls are represented by parallel lines and may be solid or filled with a pattern. Breaks in walls indicate doors, windows and openings between rooms. 90003 90002 90005 Plan 497-21 (above) features floor plan details showing doors, walls and windows. 90006 90003 90002 You can see in the drawing below that door floor plans are drawn as thin rectangles and may include an arc to indicate the swing direction.Pocket door floor plans are drawn as thin rectangles that disappear into walls. The increasingly popular sliding or «barn» doors (for barn door ideas, HGTV has got you covered) are drawn partially open alongside a wall. Windows are breaks in walls crossed by thin lines showing the glass and the frame. Swinging windows (casements) may show a line or an arc to indicate the direction that the window opens. 90003 90002 90013 Stairs 90014 90003 90002 Stairs are drawn as a series of rectangles (usually with a direction arrow indicating whether the stairs travel up to the next higher floor or down).Where the stair rises three feet above the floor it is cut with a diagonal line. Stairs above the «cut line» are shown with dashed lines. 90003 90002 90005 Plan 888-1 features stair detail next to the study. 90006 90003 90002 90013 Furniture, Fixtures, Fittings, and Finishes 90014 90003 90002 Most floor plans show the location of sinks, toilets, and other critical fixtures. Skilled designers focus intently on locating kitchen and bath fixtures because they know that precise layout matters.The placement of a refrigerator in relation to the sink, oven and range can determine if a kitchen is comfortable or awkward. Similarly, a toilet placed too close to a vanity makes a bathroom difficult to use comfortably. 90003 90002 Key fixtures and appliances are pretty easy to spot. 90003 90002 Designers may include flooring materials in their floor plans to provide scale and help the viewer imagine how a room will feel. 90003 90002 90013 Open to Below 90014 90003 90002 Many new homes have entryways and «great rooms» with extra high ceilings.The lower floor may show the ceiling height numerically with a dashed line indicating the perimeter of the taller space. From the second floor the plans will include a note that a space does not have a floor but is «open to below,» as shown here. 90003 90002 90005 Plan 137-252 boasts an «open to below» detail on the second level. 90006 90003 90002 90013 Measurements — Size and Width, Furniture and Use 90014 90003 90002 More detailed floor plans with dimensions include «dimension strings» to locate windows, doors, walls and other architectural elements.Dimension strings are drawn parallel to the element with 45º «hash marks» at each end of the dimension string indicating where the measurement starts and ends. 90003 90002 Design drawings typically only include individual room dimensions and occasionally measurements for the length and width of the whole house. 90003 90002 Architects may include furniture to help you imagine how a space might be furnished. The experience of the plan is enriched by imagining yourself in the house, lying in bed and looking out your new French doors or sitting on a comfortable sofa sharing a drink with friends.Picturing yourself in the plan makes evaluating a design less abstract and can help you avoid creating rooms and spaces that do not work. Be careful to ensure that any existing furniture that you plan to re-use has similar dimensions to the models in the design (here are some tips on incorporating existing furniture into a new space from Freshome). The success of a room can be determined by just a few inches. 90003 90002 90005 Plan 928-329 sports floor plan dimensions with a furnishing layout.90006 90003 90002 90013 Volume and Light 90014 90003 90002 Size, width and furniture placement are not the only variables impacting a room’s success. Volume can be just as important. Until recently, most homes were built with 8 ‘tall ceilings but taller ceilings are growing in popularity. By combining «open plans» where rooms flow seamlessly from one to the next with higher ceilings, smaller plans can be made to feel surprisingly comfortable. Conversely, a large room with a low ceiling will feel cramped despite the ample square footage.90003 90002 Another strategy used to make smaller rooms feel bigger is to include more and larger windows. Consider the placement of windows for view, balanced light, and heat and make sure you understand the size and type of windows proposed. 90003 90002 90005 Plan 430-156 sports high ceilings and large windows that make the home feel spacious and bright. 90006 90003 90002 90013 Experiencing the Plan 90014 90003 90002 A little preparation can go a long way toward evaluating floor plans.Start by creating a list of common and high-importance events and experiences. These might include: Walking in the front door for the first time. Lying in bed at night or waking up in the morning, getting dressed and ready for your day or to go out at night, preparing food daily and with friends, doing laundry and other chores, hanging out with the family reading, playing games, watching TV, entertaining a small group, throwing a big party. 90003 90002 Imagine how the plan will feel and work when you are doing the things that define your life.When planning your dream home, there is a tendency to value the unusual occurrences (greeting important guests at the entry, hosting a wedding dinner …) and less about regular daily use (taking off muddy boots, paying the bills). A truly successful home feels great every day. Think clearly about what your current (and past) house did well, not just where it falls short. A new house can add what is missing while providing many or all of the experiences that you appreciate in your current house.90003 90002 90013 In Conclusion 90014 90003 90002 Many of us dream of building a new home or changing an existing house to make it truly «ours.» With a bit of practice the secret language of architectural plans will become clear and the surprises that sometimes come from misunderstanding plans will be replaced by the joy of seeing a personal, imagined experience become real. 90003 90002 When reviewing prospective contractors ‘reference projects, ask if you can review the plans and see how the space compares.Carry a tape measure and note the dimensions of rooms that «work» and those that feel wrong. Pay attention to the placement of windows for light and views. It is fun and with a little practice you will be able to «read» a floor plan like a pro. 90003 90002 90005 Explore best-selling floor plans here. 90006 90003 .90000 House Plans | Find Your House Plans Today 90001 90002 Searching for House Plans 90003 90004 It’s almost everyone’s dream to reside in a modern home that offers a blend of absolute luxury and sophisticated living.

It makes the planning process go more smoothly if you know what to look for in a design. 90005 90062 What Size of Home Will Work Best for Your Family? 90063 90004 When deciding the appropriate size of your new house, keep the following considerations in mind.90005 90062 1. What Is Your Current Home Like? 90063 90004 To determine the right size for your future home, the first questions you should ask yourself are: 90005 90014 90015 How do I feel in my current home? 90016 90015 Does it feel too big or too small? 90016 90041 90004 Would you be more comfortable with additional rooms? Would you love if one of your walls was pushed back a foot? Make a list of the things you like and dislike about your current home and past homes to figure out what is most important to you.90005 90004 For example, do you like to host people for parties, but your current kitchen is too small to accommodate your guests? Would you like more children but feel like your current house is at full capacity? Or do all your children live elsewhere, and you have several empty bedrooms in the house? Do you work from home? Consider all of these things as you shop for the right-sized floor plans. 90005 90062 2. How Many Stories? 90063 90004 Do you mind having stairs in your home? If your health is good and walking up and down stairs is not a problem for you, you should consider two-story plans.90005 90004 Two-story designs with a master bedroom downstairs and all other bedrooms on the second floor are a popular choice among younger families. If you have an older relative in your household, the design you choose should have at least one additional bedroom on the first floor. Of course, if you’d rather not deal with any stairs at all, stick to single-level floor plans. 90005 90062 3. The Number of Bedrooms 90063 90004 The size of your family impacts how many bedrooms you need, as does your hosting schedule.How big is your family? Do you plan to have more children? Will you open your home to your aging parents? Would you like guest rooms? How many bedrooms you’d like will greatly affect the size of the home you’ll need. 90005 90062 4. The Number of Bathrooms 90063 90004 What kind of bathrooms you would like and how many you need may be two different things. Would you prefer that the master bedroom has a spacious, luxurious bathroom? If you have multiple children, would you like them to each have their own bathroom? Would you like a bathroom for guests on your main floor? Must they all be full baths, or can a few be half baths? Your answers should give you a firm number for bathrooms.90005 90062 What Style House Will Fit Your Environment the Best? 90063 90004 Your location may determine the floor plan type that best suits you and your family. Single-family houses provide you with a backyard, giving you more room to play or relax. Attached homes, such as condos or brownstones in urban areas, can also meet the needs of families, although divided among multiple floors. Split-level plans refer to homes that have multiple floors where floor levels are staggered. You may want to find out which designs are common in the area where you want to buy.90005 90062 Choosing a Floor Plan 90063 90004 When looking over a house plan, ask yourself these questions. 90005 90062 What Improvements Does This House Offer Over Your Current One? 90063 90004 Beyond obvious things like more storage, bathrooms and bedrooms, find other ways a floor plan layout will improve your life. Perhaps the great room will provide more space for family activities or the office will allow you to spend fewer evenings at the workplace and more time with family. If the master bedroom is on the first floor, you will not have to spend as much time climbing stairs.A bigger garage could provide space for that boat you always wanted to buy. 90105 90005 90062 Will This Home Be the Right Size for You in Five or 10 Years? 90063 90004 No matter what life stage you’re currently in, a house that’s perfect for you now might be too big or too small down the road. A house with a flexible plan allows you to adapt rooms for new purposes as your needs change. If you have another child, you can convert a playroom into a new bedroom. If the home office comes with a bathroom, you can: 90005 90014 90015 Use the office as a bedroom for guests who stay overnight 90016 90015 Move in an elderly parent 90016 90015 Convert it to a first-floor master bedroom 90016 90041 90062 Does the Design Coordinate With the Site Where You Plan to Build? 90063 90004 Many people have a site chosen before they pick a house plan.This lets you compare the plan with the lot and picture where your future home will go on the lot and how it will sit. If your lot is deep and narrow, for instance, going with a shallow, wide home plan is probably not a good choice. Also, keep in mind your lot may be subject to regulations and zoning restrictions that could limit how tall your house can be, as well as how large or small. 90105 90005 90062 Do You Like the Window Placements for Your Location? 90063 90004 Will the placement of windows take advantage of good views? Which areas of the house will get light in the mornings and evenings? Make sure the windows in your floor plan will allow you to enjoy the best views, block undesirable ones, and put morning and afternoon light where you need it most.90005 90004 One of the greatest floor plan mistakes is not taking into account the position of the sun. In most cases, you can move or resize a window if needed, but you must retain the home’s structural integrity and exterior appearance. These changes must be approved by a professional. 90005 90062 Will the House Fit in With the Surrounding Houses? 90063 90004 While you probably do not want to build a house exactly like those of your next-door neighbors, you should ensure your design harmonizes with others in the neighborhood.This is an important consideration whether it’s a newer neighborhood or an older, established one. 90005 90004 If you plan to build in a subdivision, keep in mind that it may have a covenant that establishes acceptable styles for homes, so make sure to check their regulations before buying a plan. You should also give thought to your home’s size relative to those of other houses in your neighborhood. A house that out-scales others in the neighborhood will look strange and out of place. 90105 90005 90062 Will the House Plan Require Extensive Changes? 90063 90004 All new-build house plans will need to go through various changes in order to comply with building codes, match your neighborhood’s style or suit your tastes and needs.Changes like adding in garage stalls and changing the facade are generally straightforward, and home plan businesses often offer quotes to make such changes. 90005 90062 Should You Use a Custom Home Design? 90063 90004 You can, in theory, alter the dimensions of the entire house or individual rooms. You will pay more for customized plans, but you also get exactly what you want, a valuable tradeoff. 90005 90062 Are the Rooms Sized Appropriately? 90063 90004 When looking over your house plan layout, do not just focus on the sizes of the rooms think about each room in terms of its percentage of the house’s total area.For instance, spacious master suites can occupy a fifth of a home’s space, which is great if you use the master suite for more than just sleeping, like for reading or working out. 90005 90004 But if the master bedroom is a place you hardly spend any time in, think about changing the plan so you have more space in the area you will use the most. You could also shop for a house plan with a less-spacious master suite. 90105 90005 90062 Do You Value Amenities More Than Square Footage? 90063 90004 In general, the dollars you spend on a home either go toward amenities or space.Think about which is more valuable to you. You may be tempted to take whatever your home budget is and divide it by the average cost per square foot to give you the largest square footage you can buy. 90005 90004 Keep in mind that the average-square-footage cost will give you average finishes and amenities. If you want higher-quality amenities or finishes, you need to decrease your house size or increase your budget. 90105 90005 90062 Will the Openness of the Home Suit Your Decorating Tastes? 90063 90004 If you plan to decorate all the rooms in a similar fashion, you should have no problem with a floor plan that is more open.If you plan to use different colors and furniture styles in each room, consider going with a traditional, less-open plan that has separate rooms. Think about how your decorating preferences and furniture will go with the house plan you’re considering. 90105 90005 90062 Are There Rooms Dedicated to Special Interests, Like Exercise or Hobbies? 90063 90004 As you work out the sizes and types of space you need, do not forget about the fun things. For instance, if you’re an avid reader, do not forget to add a cozy book nook.If you want a workshop, consider adding another bay in your garage to accommodate it. 90005 90004 One new home design trend is to make an «activity center» where any member of the household can practice their hobbies. If your budget is tight, think about leaving your specialty space unfinished for the time being it’s better than having to remodel the space later. 90005 90062 What Are Your Privacy Needs? 90063 90004 You’ll also want to consider the amount of privacy you’ll want, both from other members of the household and from neighbors.If you value privacy, look at options with U- or L-shaped designs these types often provide more privacy in urban and suburban environments. 90005 90004 Also, check the placement of the windows in your home plan to make sure they’ll provide enough privacy from the yards and windows of your neighbors. Make sure any porches, patios or decks will meet your privacy needs. When it comes to outdoor privacy, critical considerations include: 90005 90014 90015 Lot type 90016 90015 Location 90016 90015 Landscaping 90016 90041 90062 Will the Plan Accommodate Your Furniture? 90063 90004 Make sure the floor plan you’re considering can comfortably fit the furniture you have as well as any furniture you plan to buy.When you plan the size of each room, consider areas with seating and think about how the placement of furniture will influence the room’s feel. Would you prefer two separate areas for seating or one bigger one? 90005 90004 You should also take measurements of your furniture to ensure there’s enough room for walking around and for doors to swing outward. You also want to make sure the height of your furniture will not block any windows. 90105 90005 90004 There’s probably no single plan that perfectly suits all your wants and needs.However, with the nearly countless plans available, you can come close if you have organized search methods. Then, you just have to make a few alterations, and you’ll have your perfect home. 90005 90062 Remember to Keep Your Budget in Mind 90063 90004 Admit it part of you wants to build a home better and bigger than your wildest dreams. Before you become married to a single floor plan type, make sure you know the costs associated with your house layout.
