Space configuration for websites in the architecture sector and interior design studios

The interactive 3D space configuration looks set to be the future of websites for sectors such as architecture and interior and exterior design. After almost two decades, you will be able to set out your preferences online and discover all the possibilities offered by the design company or architecture practice.

This solution is ideal for space designers, whether interior or exterior, an architecture practice or an interior design studio, who can integrate it into their website to make capturing leads easier.

In this respect, the virtualisation of spaces can be a considerable competitive advantage over usual sales methods, as it gives the client a more realistic view. In short, having a space configuration application for websites can help you stand out from your competitors.

What is 3D space configuration?

Space configuration is a solution developed by Invelon that makes it very easy to apply changes to a preconfigured 3D environment. With this technology, you can change aspects such as the colour of the walls, the flooring materials or the lighting.

Space configuration creates an immersive experience for the user, offering them the chance to configure their spaces and explore them as if in a video game. This personalised tour guides the user through different rooms, so that they can get an overall idea of the design and configure it to their taste.

Features offered by space virtualisation

Thanks to this application, your potential clients will be able to plan ahead and define different parameters of the space, such as the lighting or finishes, before contacting your interior design or architecture studio. This tool also makes it possible to select a default configuration, supplied by the studio, or for the client to save the ones they have created.

Once the client has finished designing, the company receives notifications of leads who have completed a composition. This is a point of great value, as it gives us the direct contact details of the person interested in the service we offer. To make it easy for users to move around the space, a system of points of interest (POI), has been integrated, which can be adjusted to encourage guided navigation through all the areas that make up the home, office or commercial premises. It is important to say that the virtualisation of the environment has a high-quality finish, so it can be used comfortably on all types of device, especially those with smaller screens, such as smartphones and tablets.

Other space virtualisation features for the user

• The user can navigate freely around the architectural model through a 360º view of the space.
• To improve their understanding of the space, the user can choose to navigate on a floor plan or do so in the first person (as in a shoot ‘em up video game) to immerse themselves in the digital composition.
• Web users can change the lighting of the environment and experiment with light points in different areas.
• Future clients can try out different materials in the construction of the property and access a gallery of 3D furniture models to furnish their creation and bring it to life. In certain sectors, such as interior design, this is a great head start over the competition.
  

Advantages of online space configuration

In terms of engagement and UX, it is an innovative, up-to-date tool that lets users give free rein to their creativity and seek inspiration, which motivates them to spend more time on your website and discover all the possibilities and designs, as well as increasing trust in your brand.

Thanks to points of interest (POI), it allows you to convey relevant information to obtain leads directly.

With this tool, clients can put their ideas into a 3D environment in which to explore the possibilities of the property. In this way, we make it possible to offer a fully personalised experience and a competitive advantage over the competition.

Perhaps the greatest advantage is that it gives the user decision-making power, as well as giving the company a powerful instrument for obtaining leads.
