A floor plan's success comes down to how well spaces relate to each other — flow, adjacency, and zoning decided before a single wall is detailed. Space planning develops your floor plan layout and space-use diagrams, working through room relationships, circulation, and functional zoning to establish a plan that works before it's drafted into full construction drawings.
