floorplan

Overhead room arrangement

A floorplan is a diagram showing the layout of a building or room as viewed from above, with walls, doors, windows, and fixtures drawn to scale.

Real estate listings typically include floorplans so buyers can visualize the space: The floorplan showed an open kitchen flowing into the living area.
