A CLEARER VIEW

From a line on a plan
to a space of your own.

01

Give ideas a shape.

Work with floor plans, walls, furniture and 3D views, building on the familiar Sweet Home 3D desktop foundation.

02

Mind the details.

Explore Zavia’s associative dimensions, surface measurements and editable grid and wall controls. Design geometry is not structural engineering.

03

Explore new workflows.

A local MCP bridge connects supported tools to the desktop application. Setup depends on your environment; integration is still evolving.
