Tell HN: Take my idea: dream home designer
If I was building a new home for myself I'd love some incredible dream home deigned software to help me design a home I love, incorporating a library of ideas, and a community to share a collaborate with.
Some smart YC company should build this.

- mod 11y agoSketchUp can help you. It has a learning curve, though.
- brudgers 11y agoFalling Water is the product of a skill set orthogonal to that acquired by mastering Sketchup. There is 10x residential design.
- LarryMade2 11y agoSecondlife is good for idea visualization I think the big challenge is getting the wall dimensions right for the hidden stuff, like piping wiring, central Heat/AC, etc.
- ljk 11y agohouzz.com has a lot of "inspiration" photos
- tmaly 11y agoI would love to see it load various zoning laws and as well as building requirements for a particular city and then work within those constraints. There is not a lot of regular sized conforming building lots in bigger cities. In many cases, you have to get a variance from the zoning board before you can even get a building permit. What might be a cool feature also is a renovation tool that can sort of plan what you see on a show like Property Brothers. Given a blue print of the existing house, the tool can help you visually plan a renovation.
