GFLAN: GENERATIVE FUNCTIONAL LAYOUTS
This paper introduces GFLAN, a novel two-stage generative framework for automated floor plan synthesis. It explicitly factors the process into topological planning (room center placement via a CNN heatmap) and geometric realization (room boundary regression via a Transformer-augmented GNN). GFLAN addresses challenges in architectural reasoning, functional constraint propagation, and circulation patterns, outperforming baselines in connectivity, adjacency satisfaction, and overall architectural quality, while maintaining competitive efficiency and generating diverse, human-aligned layouts from minimalistic inputs.
Executive Impact: Why This Matters for Your Enterprise
GFLAN represents a significant leap in AI-driven architectural design, offering tangible benefits for industries requiring advanced spatial planning and visualization.

Average Inference Time per Plan
GFLAN achieves high efficiency, completing a full floor plan generation in a fraction of a second, highlighting its practical applicability.
| Metric | Graph2Plan | WallPlan | GFLAN (Ours) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bedroom Area Min/Max Ratio (Higher is Better) | 0.65 (median) | 0.77 (median) | 0.90 (median) |
| Adjacency Violations (Lower is Better) | 53 | 65 | 4 |
| Usability Ratio (Higher is Better) | 0.33 | 0.66 | 0.82 |
| Connectivity Ratio (Higher is Better) | 0.79 | 0.93 | 0.95 |
Enhanced Circulation & Usability
Scenario: Traditional pixel-to-pixel or wall-tracing methods often produce layouts with trapped rooms, poor circulation, or misserved bedrooms (e.g., Figure 4a, 4b Graph2Plan and WallPlan outputs).
GFLAN Solution: GFLAN maintains full connectivity and ensures direct circulation paths by explicitly factoring topology and geometry. Its outputs show lower graph/Euclidean path ratios and higher usability scores, indicating more direct routes and better space utilization (Figure 6b, 7a). For instance, in complex envelopes, it avoids fragmenting living spaces and ensures kitchens have exterior access.
Outcome: Users benefit from more intuitive and functional floor plans, requiring less manual correction and improving occupant experience. This focus on architectural reasoning directly translates to higher-quality, more 'human-aligned' designs.
