The goal this year was to utilize a photograph of a residential design that is well suited to the functionality available in the product. With each new release of software, Chief Architect’s Art Department develops a new look for the products’ packaging.

There are many new features offered in the product line that you can view here however, today I want to share our process for creating new downloadable sample plans and shine a light on the sources of our inspiration. Now that the latest Home Designer product line has been released, we are excited to offer another set of great tools for DIY designers and Home Enthusiasts to showcase their talents. A variety of plans are available on both the Chief Architect and Home Designer websites. Downloadable Sample Plans are a great resource for experiencing the features in Chief Architect’s software hands-on and in real-time.
