PALO ALTO, Calif. — Today, Houzz Inc. is introducing outdoor features for its 3D Floor Plan tool in Houzz Pro, the business management and marketing solution for residential construction and design professionals.
Pros can now create outdoor spaces in their 3D Floor Plans to show how a design flows from the interior of the home to its exterior. The new features showcase the size, layout and design of an outdoor space.
“Expanding the Houzz Pro 3D Floor Planner to support outdoor spaces was a natural progression of the tool and a top request from current pro users,” said Alon Cohen, Houzz co-founder and president. “Homeowners are prioritizing outdoor living and benefit from having robust visuals of finished spaces.”
The tool offers a library of materials including pavers, ground cover, lawn, gravel, decking and pavement. Those spaces can be subdivided to display different surface materials, such as paved areas adjacent to lawn or decking. Pros can also add pergolas, swimming pools and fire pits, and outdoor furnishings such as tables, chairs, umbrellas and more from the Houzz Shop.
“The Houzz Pro 3D Floor Plan tool is easy to learn and cost effective to use, making 3D visualizations more accessible to pros and their clients,” said Cohen.
Pros can bring 3D floor plans to life in dollhouse and walkthrough views or present a life-sized augmented reality tour on-site at the project using the mobile app. Also just released for the 3D Floor Planner, pros and their clients can make comments directly on floor plans to improve communication and coordination for the project.
The outdoor-enhanced Houzz Pro 3D Floor Plan tool is available to all Houzz Pro subscribers around the world.
