In this work, we propose HypergraphFormer, a novel and efficient approach to floor plan generation based on learning hypergraph representations with a large language model (LLM). The model is trained via supervised fine-tuning to generate a hypergraph-based textual representation that encodes spatial relationships and connectivity information within floor plans. We train and evaluate our approach on the RPLAN dataset, and further demonstrate its generalizability on a separate out-of-distribution dataset, which we release in this paper. Our method outperforms state-of-the-art techniques based on rasterized or vectorized representations across a diverse set of metrics. We also show improved data efficiency, particularly under distribution shift. The hypergraph formulation enables the generation of floor plans for arbitrary, irregular, user-specified boundaries by decoupling apartment footprints from their functional and geometric subdivisions. Furthermore, we show that the proposed methodology offers a high degree of editability, making it particularly well suited to design-oriented workflows supported by LLMs.

Architectural floor plan design demands joint reasoning over geometry, semantics, and spatial hierarchy, which remains a major challenge for current AI systems. Although recent diffusion and language models improve visual fidelity, they still struggle with coherent spatial reasoning and controllable generation. We present HouseMind, a multimodal large language model that unifies floor plan understanding, generation, and editing in one framework. We introduce discrete room-instance tokens to construct a unified vocabulary that bridges layouts and symbolic reasoning. With multimodal alignment and instruction tuning, the model synthesizes coherent, controllable layouts from text instructions. Experiments show how the framework achieves superior geometric validity and controllability while remaining efficient and locally deployable.
