Abstract
Residential design aims to transform existing homes into functional living spaces while satisfying diverse design preferences and physical constraints. However, existing floorplan generation methods typically assume empty building boundaries as input, whereas renovation requires reasoning over existing floorplans. Furthermore, floorplan renovation and furniture layout are commonly addressed as separate tasks, overlooking their inherent spatial dependency. Consequently, practical residential design must preserve immutable structural components while transforming editable spatial elements. It must also optimize furniture placement under design objectives and physical constraints. To address these challenges, we formulate residential design as a design-point-guided conditional generation task and propose RenoLayout, a framework that translates a pre-design residential state together with a design-point set into an executable Geometry-as-Code program. To enable controllable supervision, we construct a Design Map comprising 123 fine-grained design points covering structural renovation and furniture layout. We further introduce Difference-Grounded Design-Point Annotation to derive design-point sets automatically from before--after design pairs with VLM-based consistency verification. RenoLayout is trained using a three-stage CPT--SFT--RL pipeline, progressively improving spatial reasoning, instruction following, and constraint compliance. We also introduce the RenoLayout Benchmark, a set of 200 real-world before--after renovation cases with complete furniture layouts. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first benchmark for unified residential design. These cases include design-critical structural and building-service constraints.
