The challenge
Madespace is an interior design studio with deep craft knowledge and zero engineering staff. They wanted an app where anyone could design a room — without learning prompt engineering, and without the generic output of raw image generators.
The hard part wasn't calling an image model. It was building a visual design experience that felt like working with a designer: blending styles instead of typing prompts, results curated by professional taste, and a path from 'nice picture' to actually furnishing the room.
What we built
Visual style blending, no prompts
Users compose a design by combining styles visually. The app translates those choices into a generation pipeline tuned with the studio's designers — their taste is the product.
From render to real room
Designs connect to in-app shopping, so the furniture in a generated room can actually be bought.
Human designers on demand
Built-in video consultations connect users with the studio's real interior designers — the app feeds the studio's core business instead of replacing it.
Subscription business model
Free-trial subscription flow, App Store review compliance, and the unglamorous production details handled end to end.
Results
- Live on the iOS App Store — a design studio now owns a software product
- The client owns 100% of the code and infrastructure
- AI features shipped as the product core, not a bolted-on gimmick
Built by Plixy's founder as a client engagement — the same end-to-end model Plixy runs today.
