Design your home instantly with AI

Drafted is building multimodal generative models for residential architecture and spatial design. The product allows users to design homes by combining sketches and direct spatial input to generate coherent floor plans and elevations that can be explored in both 2D and 3D. Users can define footprints, lot boundaries, room placement, relationships, room programs, and square footage constraints that persist across generations and iterative design exploration, then export CAD, PDF, and other files into the rest of the home design and construction process. More info on the company: ⁃ In the past month, we've had 120k users come to the site, generating 325k+ floor plans through socials and word-of-mouth. ⁃ A team of 9, made up of researchers from Stanford, Autodesk, Brown, Adobe, and Architects from WeWork, Atmos, and design families ⁃ Raised $17.5M from investors such as Buckley Ventures (Josh Buckley), YC (Aaron Epstein), Patrick Collison, Evan Moore, Convective Capital (Bill Clerico), Ben Silbermann, Jack Altman, Samsung, Starship Ventures, Charlie Songhurst, Ryan Tedder, Moses Moody, Alex Blania, and Kevin Mahaffey

Drafted: Design a Home Instantly Using AI

Residential architecture is still one of the most expensive, slow, and inaccessible creative processes in the world.

Designing a custom home typically costs $10,000–$50,000+, takes months, and requires making major decisions before most people can even visualize the outcome. As a result, the vast majority of homes are built without direct architectural involvement.

We're building Drafted.ai to change that.

Drafted is developing multimodal generative models for residential architecture and spatial design. Our goal is to teach computers how the built environment works so anyone can imagine, explore, and eventually create physical spaces tailored to them.

Today, users can design homes using simple inputs such as:

  • Room lists
  • Square footage targets
  • Footprint shapes
  • Lot boundaries
  • Room placement preferences
  • Spatial relationships and constraints

Our models generate complete floor plans and matching exterior elevations in seconds. Users can explore designs in both 2D and 3D, iterate instantly, furnish interiors, experiment with materials, and export CAD, PDF, and other files for the rest of the pre-construction process.

One of our newest capabilities allows users to draw any footprint shape and generate a complete home layout inside it.

Over the past month, more than 120,000 people have used Drafted, generating over 325,000 home designs through viral social sharing and word-of-mouth alone.

We're a team of 9 consisting of second-time proptech founders, researchers from Stanford, Autodesk, Brown, and Adobe, alongside architects from WeWork, Atmos, and multi-generational architecture families.

Since starting 10 months ago, we've raised $17.5M from YC, Buckley Ventures, Patrick Collison, Bill Clerico, Ben Silbermann, Jack Altman, Samsung NEXT, Starship Ventures, Charlie Songhurst, Evan Moore, Kevin Mahaffey, and others.

Our Ask:

We're currently looking for Machine Learning, Infrastructure, Growth, and Full-Stack Engineers.

If you're building a home, developing property, working in architecture, construction, or AI, we'd love to hear your feedback.
