Floorplanner


I took a peek at some drawings on the Tiny House Forum (definitely worth trolling for examples and info,) which were made with a program called floorplanner. Here's one I made playing around with the program, which is super easy to use.

It's also free to sign up. With the free account, you can work on/ edit one project. It's worth playing around with, and is helping me get some context of what fits in a tiny space.

Everyone should try it out:) It has a sexy 3d render function, so you can see what the house would look like. Very cool.

Update: Google sketchup is also a good option for drawing and rendering in 3d, as far as free software is concerned. This is a pretty sweet image drawn in it, from the Tiny House Forum.

  2. floorplanner seems best to me, because it's online and therefor more cross-platform.
    (google sketchup doesn't easily work on linux)
