floorplans
Architectural overhead views
Floorplans are diagrams showing the layout of rooms in a building as seen from above—walls, doors, windows, and fixtures drawn to scale.
Architects and real estate agents use them to communicate spatial relationships: The floorplan showed an open kitchen flowing into the living room.
Also spelled as two words: floor plans.
