Open a real house
Start from the 140-design catalogue — a gable with an attic today, a flat-roof two-storey tomorrow. The app opens on a different house each visit, and everything stays editable once placed.
Use case
Teach architecture and construction in a browser tab. Students draw walls, cut real openings, fit roofs and light rooms with the real sun — then walk through what they drew, first person. Free to start, nothing to install on the school's machines.
The class loop
Start from the 140-design catalogue — a gable with an attic today, a flat-roof two-storey tomorrow. The app opens on a different house each visit, and everything stays editable once placed.
Students draw walls on the plan and cut windows and doors as real booleans — rectangle, circle, triangle. The wall graph handles junctions and mitred corners; rooms compute themselves from the plan.
Pick a place and a date. The shadows are the ones the building would really cast on that plot, that day — orientation stops being an abstraction on a slide.
One link per class: everyone opens the same design, walks through it in first person and talks it over in the room thread. The critique happens inside the building.
Why it fits teaching
Open any of the 140 houses, orbit, walk, play the sun. The free plan covers the whole classroom — no card, no install, no license server.
Three.js on WebGL2 in the browser the school already owns. No install, no plugin, nothing for IT to babysit.
Single storey, attic, two storey; gable, hip, flat, shed roofs; none, one or two garage bays — 140 ready designs students take apart and redraw.
Editing is off when the page opens — a design shared for looking looks the same to every student. Armed by the Design door or B when it's time to build.
The critique happens inside
Walk mode turns the plan into a place: WASD down the corridor they drew, E opens the door they cut, Shift runs to the window they placed. The plan stops being a drawing and becomes a building.
Open the designerFree to start — open a house, orbit it, walk it, on the school's own machines.
