Y Combinator's Drafted Automates Residential Floor Plan Design

Drafted, a Y Combinator-backed startup, generates finished floor plans and exterior views in seconds using square footage, property shape, lot boundaries, and room constraints as inputs. It outputs designs in 2D and 3D formats. Home design has long resisted software efficiency gains, relying on older 2D CAD systems. Drafted's key innovation: treating lot boundaries as a core design constraint rather than a late-stage validation step, directly addressing workflow bottlenecks.
