This paper describes part of the development process of a system aimed at supporting the work of interior architects. Two prototype systems are described together with detailed interviews conducted with a professional design practitioner. It will be argued that the generation of alternative solutions are vital to the early phase of design. The prototypes focus on a shape grammar and the provision of mechanisms which allow the user to manipulate the rules which constitute the grammar and thereby explore potential solutions. The first prototype incorporated the idea of spatial labels while the second included the concept of ‘loose-fit’ rules.
