It indicates the relationships between rooms on one level of a structure. Architects use floor plans as a tool to design buildings.Your 3 main types of floor plans include the traditional, contemporary, and custom plans. Traditional floor plans separate each room with walls and a doorway. Contemporary floor plans remove most of these walls to create a more open type of floor plan, such as by having the kitchen and living room in the same space.What an Architect Does.
