A buyer looking at a flat 2D plan is doing work. They are mentally rotating walls, estimating proportions, imagining how the rooms connect. A 3D floor plan does that work for them. The layout reads instantly. The decision moves faster.
A 3D floor plan is a furnished, top-down view of a home or unit built from its 3D model. NoTriangle Studio, a 3D architectural visualization studio headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area (Fremont, California), founded in 2014, produces 3D floor plans, dollhouse views and 2D plans for developers, architects and agents across the US, Canada and the Caribbean.
Villa Solene, a four-bedroom spec villa at Apes Hill, Barbados, was relaunched for Pure CMI on eight renderings and a floor plan, and it sold before it was built. Read the case study

Floor plans are the document buyers return to most often after the renderings. They confirm the size of the rooms, the relationship between spaces, the way circulation flows through the plan. On a development with multiple unit types, they are what buyers use to compare options and choose.
A 2D plan communicates layout but not space. A 3D floor plan communicates both. Furniture, finishes, ceiling height, the view from one room into the next. The buyer does not have to construct the space mentally. It is already shown.
A dollhouse view adds a third dimension: the reader sees the whole plan from above at a slight angle, all rooms simultaneously, with depth and proportion readable at a glance. It is the fastest way to communicate a full floor layout to a buyer who is not trained to read architectural drawings.

[ Floor plan formats ]
Format 01
A top-down view with furniture, finishes, and ceiling height visible. Communicates layout, scale, and material character simultaneously. Used in brochures, listings, and leasing packages where buyers need to read the plan without interpretation.
Format 02
An elevated three-quarter perspective showing all floors and rooms simultaneously. Gives a complete picture of the development's spatial logic at a glance. Used in investor presentations, OM documents, and project websites where a reader needs to understand the whole building or unit, not just a single floor.
Format 03
A clean, standard 2D plan with accurate dimensions, room labels, and a clear graphic style. No furniture, no finishes, no depth. The simplest and most affordable format. Suitable when buyers or stakeholders need the layout and dimensions only, without lifestyle or spatial cues.
Right for · Listing sheets where a single quick-read plan is enough. Permit and approval submissions. Internal coordination drawings. Projects where budget is the primary driver.
[ Process ]
Floor plans are built from the same 3D model used for renderings. Camera angle, furniture placement, and finish representation are confirmed before final production. The output is optimized for the formats it will appear in: print-resolution for brochures and OMs, screen-optimized for websites and digital listings.
[ Quick answers ]
A 3D floor plan shows one floor from above with furniture, finishes and ceiling height, and suits brochures, listings and leasing packages. A dollhouse view shows all floors and rooms at once from a three-quarter angle, and suits investor decks and project websites. A 2D plan shows layout and dimensions only, and suits listing sheets, permit submissions and budget-led projects.
Yes. On a development with several unit types, floor plans are what buyers use to compare options and choose, so a consistent set across the unit mix matters. Each plan is built from the project model, with the same graphic style, furniture approach and finish representation, and the unit mix is scoped at the discovery call so the set covers what your sales team actually sells.
Yes. Aerial views and stylized site plans place a development in its setting and show how homes, amenities and landscaping sit together, which matters for larger projects, capital materials and approvals. They can combine our modeling with drone footage of the actual site. Like the floor plans, they are built from the same model as the renderings.
Either, and most often together. Floor plans are built from the same 3D model as the renderings, so when they are scoped alongside a rendering set, the plans and the images match exactly. Camera angle, furniture placement and finish representation are confirmed before final production, the same way camera angles are approved on a white model before a rendering is lit.
