About Room Meadow

Room Meadow is a 2D floor plan editor that runs in the browser. You draw walls by typing their lengths, drop in doors, windows and furniture at real sizes, and the drawing checks the clearances that a building inspector or a kitchen designer would check. The same engine produces the 170 starter layouts, the materials list and the 122 tool pages on this site.

01

Who makes it

The editor, the calculators and every page are written and maintained by Room Meadow. The site is operated by zebra nine studio inc.; the full legal details are on the imprint page. There is no editorial team hidden behind a brand name: the person who wrote the clearance rules into the engine also wrote the pages that explain them.

What it is

  • A drawing tool: walls, doors, windows, rooms with names and areas, furniture and fixtures at catalogue sizes, in feet and inches or millimetres, exported as PDF or SVG at a stated scale.
  • A rules engine: 15 clearance and ceiling-height checks taken from the 2021 IRC and NKBA guidelines, listed with their sources on the methodology page.
  • A set of calculators (studs, drywall, decks, fences, pavers, cubic yards, office space) that share their formulas with the materials list on the canvas, so a number on a page can be reproduced on the drawing.
  • Fixed room layouts, drawn in the editor, that pass its own checks before they are published as cards on the tool pages.

03

What it is not

  • Not an AI planner. Nothing on the site generates a plan from a photo, a prompt or a description; “generator” pages pick a starter template and let you resize it. The one model on the site is the optional 3D render button, which paints a picture over a plan you drew; it never changes the plan or the checks, and every render is labelled.
  • Not a 3D or rendering tool, and not a photo gallery of finished rooms. Every drawing is a schematic plan view.
  • Not a permit document, a stamped drawing or a quote. The checks cover the rules listed on the methodology page and nothing else; local amendments, structure, egress and electrical are yours to verify.

How the pages are written

Each tool page is built around one question people actually type into a search engine, answered with the tool itself: a layout to edit, a calculator to run, or a dimension table with its code section cited. Numbers come from the cited source or from the calculator code, never from memory. Pages carry their publication and last-change dates from the content’s revision history. If a page claims more than the tool can do, that is a bug, and we fix the page rather than the claim.
