I'm a trained architect, and I've been building an indie game that combines accurate floor planning with real-time 3D design to make architecture much easier to create than with traditional CAD software.

What you can do:

🏠 2D floor plans
🧱 3D building
🚶 First-person walkthrough
🥽 VR mode
🏢 Multiple storeys
🪜 Stairs
🏚️ Custom roofs
🪟 Doors & windows
🛋️ Furniture catalog
🍳 Kitchen Configurator
🎨 Materials
🌄 Terrain sculpting
🌳 Landscape planning
💧 Ponds
☀️ Time of day
❄️ Weather
📐 Export PDF vector plans
📦 Import your own 3D models
🌍 Steam Workshop

In the newest update: real growing ivy that climbs around windows, corners, and curved walls! 🌿

It's available on Steam as Architecture & Design and is still in Early Access.

Would love to hear what you think!

I'm a solo dev and I've been building an architecture sandbox for the last while. It started as a flatscreen tool: 2D floor plan, 3D view, first person walkthrough. Now i ended up adding a full VR mode, which turned out to be the way i actually enjoy using it the most.

How it works in VR: You access what you created in the main game (using the precise, parametric building system). In VR, you can further configure all colors and materials and, above all, view everything much more realistically, giving you a better sense of scale and visualization for actual construction projects.

Tech: Unreal 5.8, OpenXR, PCVR only, SteamVR headsets or Quest over Link. No standalone build, the lighting doesn't fit in that budget (ray-tracing and DLSS 4.5).

Getting stereo right took me longer than I'd like to admit. Instanced stereo was quietly breaking the right eye raster-looking shadow artifacts and invisible glass and turning it off fixed both at once.

Happy to answer anything about the VR side. What would you want to be able to do in a tool like this?
