The connected workflow

From a brief
to the details.

This illustrative workflow shows how information can carry between stages. It is not a demonstration of an automated end-to-end application. Your judgment and project-specific review remain essential.

A few useful details

Before you
begin.

Is The Window Room a real client project?
It is an illustrative project created to explain the workflow. The room images are AI-generated concepts. The sample drawings and material schedule are authored examples, rather than outputs from a live project session.
Where does professional judgment fit?
The designer reviews the brief, selects a direction, and checks the drawings and materials. The sample drawings are authored illustrations, not verified application exports or construction instructions.
What information do I need to begin?
Start with a room brief, dimensions, and the constraints you want the design to respect. The repository contains workflows for room and floor-plan information as well as design variants. Individual capabilities depend on your configured installation.
Can I use the sample drawings for a building project?
The downloads explain this fictional room. They are marked illustrative and pending review, and are intended for exploring the sample rather than construction or fabrication.
How do I get started with OpenLintel?
Visit the development guide for setup instructions and service requirements. OpenLintel is in active development; a production hosted application is not offered through this website.
