You can design your own house without software or drawing skills, as long as you decide things in the right order: the site, the size, the character, then the inside.
The five steps below follow that order, and the questions after them turn your answers into a house drawn by AI.
01
Start from the site
A house is designed from where it stands.
More
Note which way the plot faces, where the light and the view come from, and what the setting asks of the building: salt air by the sea, snow on a mountain roof, shade in the desert.
The site settles half the materials before you choose them.
02
Fix the envelope
Decide how many storeys, roughly how big, and how many bedrooms.
More
Those three numbers set the footprint and most of the budget, and they decide how the day rooms and the bedrooms share the floors.
03
Choose one character
Pick a single style and let the facade material and the roof follow from it.
More
A farmhouse in charred timber can work; three styles on one front rarely do.
If two styles tempt you, sketch both and keep the one that suits the site.
04
Plan the inside
Carry the outside in: the mood of the rooms, what is underfoot, and the one room you would add just because you can.
More
Put the living spaces on the side of the light and the view, and keep the bedrooms on the quiet side.
05
See it, then take it to an architect
Seeing the house is what tells you whether it is the right one.
More
Answer the ten questions below and the front elevation is drawn in about a minute.
Once you are sure, an architect turns that brief into construction drawings and the permit application.

Partly. The ten questions and the front elevation of your house are free, shown with a short note on the house and an estimated build cost, one house a day, with no account. The complete house, 9 to 12 views in high resolution, is $7.99. The full dossier is $19.99. You pay once; there is no subscription.
Do I need a photo of a house?
No. Domusia draws a new house from your answers, so there is nothing to upload. To restyle a room you already live in, from a photo of it, use Redesign your room instead.
Do I get a floor plan or construction drawings?
The full dossier includes a schematic floor plan for each storey, with the area of every room. It is not a construction drawing: there are no walls, doors, windows or dimensions. To build, an architect turns your house into drawings and handles the permit.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It runs in your browser, on a phone or a computer. There is no app to download, no software to learn and no prompt to write: every answer is a picture you tap.
