Maket 2.0 Launches All-in-One AI Architecture Platform: Conversational Floor Plans, PDF Layout Editing, and 3D Interior Styles
Maket released Maket 2.0, an integrated generative CAD and architectural platform. The release allows homeowners, developers, and architects to synthesize parametric 2D floor plans from text prompts, edit existing blueprint PDFs via chat, and render photorealistic 3D interior styles across custom room layouts.
Maket released Maket 2.0, an updated generative CAD and architectural design platform that streamlines pre-construction planning. The tool enables homeowners, real estate developers, and design professionals to draft new residential floor plans, remodel existing structures from uploaded blueprints, and render multi-angle 3D interior rooms before contracting structural engineers or drafting teams.
By combining geometric constraint solvers with generative diffusion models, Maket 2.0 bridges the gap between rough sketches and professional Computer-Aided Design (CAD) workflows.

Three Core Pillars of the 2.0 Engine
1. Text-to-Floor-Plan Generation
In Maket 2.0, starting a new home design begins with an interactive assistant. Instead of drawing lines on a grid, users type high-level requirements:
- Total target square footage (e.g., 2,400 sq ft)
- Number of floors, bedrooms, and bathrooms
- Specific layout preferences (e.g., dedicated home office with external entrance, primary suite on the ground floor)
The system responds with clarifying questions regarding lot orientation and sun exposure before producing multiple layout variations in seconds. Each layout displays clear square footage allocations, door swings, and window locations that adhere to standard residential egress codes.
2. Chat-Based PDF and Blueprint Remodeling
For renovations and property extensions, starting from a blank page is inefficient. Maket 2.0 allows users to photograph a paper blueprint or upload an architectural PDF.
The platform uses optical character recognition and edge-detection algorithms to convert static raster drawings into interactive vector walls. Once vectorized, users edit the space via text:
- "Knock down the non-load-bearing partition between the kitchen and living room."
- "Convert the second-floor storage closet into an en-suite half bath."
- "Add an 800 sq ft primary suite extension to the east side of the floor plan."
The engine automatically recalculates room dimensions, updates boundary lines, and preserves structural integrity constraints.
3. Photorealistic 3D Interior Style Rendering
Translating 2D blueprints into an intuitive spatial experience is difficult for non-architects. Maket 2.0 connects the 2D polygon boundaries directly to a 3D generative interior rendering pipeline.
Users select any room on the generated floor plan and apply specific design aesthetics:
- Mid-Century Modern: Warm walnut wood paneling, low-profile furniture, brass fixtures.
- Scandinavian: Light oak herringbone floors, muted neutral palettes, expansive natural lighting.
- Contemporary Minimalist: Flush floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, recessed lighting, matte black hardware.
- Industrial Loft: Exposed brick, polished concrete floors, steel-frame transom windows.
Renders generate in under 15 seconds per viewpoint, providing accurate representations of lighting, furniture scale, and material textures.
Comparison: Traditional Architectural Drafting vs. Maket 2.0
| Evaluation Metric | Traditional Architectural Drafting | Maket 2.0 Generative CAD |
|---|---|---|
| Initial Concept Time | 2 to 4 weeks | 3 to 5 minutes |
| Revision Turnaround | 3 to 7 business days per cycle | Under 30 seconds via chat |
| 3D Rendering Cost | $500 – $2,500 per room render | Included in platform tier |
| File Compatibility | Manual drafting in AutoCAD / Revit | Direct export to DXF, DWG, and IFC |
| Client Engagement | Abstract 2D blueprints | Interactive 2D floor plans + 3D visuals |
| Remodel Feasibility | Physical measurement & drafting | Automated scan-to-CAD vectorization |
Integration with Professional CAD and BIM Suites
Maket 2.0 is not intended to eliminate licensed structural engineers or stamp official building permits. Rather, it operates as an upstream ideation and client alignment engine.
When a client settles on an approved layout, the project exports directly into standard industry formats:
- DXF / DWG: Vector wall layers, dimensions, and door/window blocks import cleanly into Autodesk AutoCAD.
- IFC (Industry Foundation Classes): Spatial 3D geometry mounts directly into Autodesk Revit, Graphisoft ArchiCAD, and Vectorworks for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) detailing.
This interoperability eliminates the need for architects to manually recreate client napkin sketches or PDF redlines from scratch.
