Graph-RWGAN: A Method for Generating House Layouts Based on Multi-Relation Graph Attention Mechanism

We address issues in existing house layout generation methods, including chaotic room layouts, limited iterative refinement, and restricted style diversity. We propose Graph-RWGAN, a generative adversarial network based on a multi-relational graph attention mechanism, to automatically generate reasonable and globally consistent house layouts under weak constraints. In our framework, rooms are represented as graph nodes with semantic attributes. Their spatial relationships are modeled as edges. Optional room-level objects can be added by augmenting node attributes. This allows for object-aware layout generation when needed. The multi-relational graph attention mechanism captures complex inter-room relationships. Iterative generation enables stepwise layout optimization. Fusion of node features with building boundaries ensures spatial accuracy and structural coherence. A conditional graph discriminator with Wasserstein loss constrains global consistency. Experiments on the RPLAN dataset show strong performance. FID is 92.73, SSIM is 0.828, and layout accuracy is 85.96%. Room topology accuracy reaches 95%, layout quality 90%, and structural coherence 95%, outperforming House-GAN, LayoutGAN, and MR-GAT. Ablation studies confirm the effectiveness of each key component. Graph-RWGAN shows strong adaptability, flexible generation under weak constraints, and multi-style layouts. It provides an efficient and controllable scheme for intelligent building design and automated planning.

Abstract

We address issues in existing house layout generation methods, including chaotic room layouts, limited iterative refinement, and restricted style diversity. We propose Graph-RWGAN, a generative adversarial network based on a multi-relational graph attention mechanism, to automatically generate reasonable and globally consistent house layouts under weak constraints. In our framework, rooms are represented as graph nodes with semantic attributes. Their spatial relationships are modeled as edges. Optional room-level objects can be added by augmenting node attributes. This allows for object-aware layout generation when needed. The multi-relational graph attention mechanism captures complex inter-room relationships. Iterative generation enables stepwise layout optimization. Fusion of node features with building boundaries ensures spatial accuracy and structural coherence. A conditional graph discriminator with Wasserstein loss constrains global consistency. Experiments on the RPLAN dataset show strong performance. FID is 92.73, SSIM is 0.828, and layout accuracy is 85.96%. Room topology accuracy reaches 95%, layout quality 90%, and structural coherence 95%, outperforming House-GAN, LayoutGAN, and MR-GAT. Ablation studies confirm the effectiveness of each key component. Graph-RWGAN shows strong adaptability, flexible generation under weak constraints, and multi-style layouts. It provides an efficient and controllable scheme for intelligent building design and automated planning.
