How this plan was made
It was generated in AI Architectures Plan Studio from this one-line brief: “Tiny house on a 16 x 36 ft rectangular footprint (576 sq ft), one story, on a foundation: 1 bedroom, a small office, 1 bath, open kitchen and living, laundry closet. No porch, deck or patio.” An AI architect drafted the room program, a layout solver placed every wall and door, and the plan was checked automatically for room sizes, circulation and daylight. The same project produced the PDF sheets, layered DXF, IFC model and 3D model you can download above.
