A New Era in Sioux Falls: Immersive Design’s Arrival

Feb. 26, 2026

Bringing Dreams to Life

Imagine being able to walk through your new home before it’s even built. That’s precisely what Walk Your Plans and Walk Thru Plans, two upcoming Sioux Falls businesses, offer. Whether you’re an architect, a homebuilder, or a family looking to remodel, these places provide an experience unlike any other. It’s the kind of innovation that makes you wonder, “Where have you been all my life?”

Walk Your Plans: Turning Ideas into Reality

Run by Alex Drey, Walk Your Plans isn’t just a business; it’s a revolutionary way to bridge the gap between floor plans and real-world spaces. Drey fell in love with the concept during his own home remodel and decided to bring it to Sioux Falls after getting thumbs up from architects. Nestled in a 5,000-square-foot space in Tea, this Cleveland-based company lets you roam through life-sized architectural designs.

“We can bring objects in and out of your space in real time,” Drey mentioned. Whether you’re contemplating a larger sofa or another dining table, the setup allows you to test adjust before construction begins. Imagine saving money by making changes now rather than after walls are up.

Connecting with Professionals

The beauty of Walk Your Plans lies in its collaboration with Architectural Designs. Got no builder? No problem! You can grab one of their 25,000 floor plans, from residential spaces to accessory dwellings. No wonder they’re calling this the new standard in pre-construction. They open their doors on March 2 at 2320 Enterprise Ave., with a ribbon cutting on March 26.

Enter Walk Thru Plans: A Taste of the Future

But wait, there’s more! Walk Thru Plans adds a twist to the scene with a similar concept, originating from an inquisitive engineer in Kentucky. Slated for an April 2 opening at 4006 N. Hainje Ave., this place combines technology and design in an 11,000-square-foot space, complete with a 20-feet-tall projection wall. Picture seeing your future kitchen or playing virtual games on that scale.

April Kooima, the client experience coordinator, couldn’t hide her excitement. “There are so many big homes and businesses coming to town, it’s the perfect opportunity.” It’s not just about homes; even farmers can visualize aerial views of their land.

Visualize, Customize, Optimize

“We can modify your space,” said Kooima, emphasizing money-saving potential. By tweaking designs before the first brick is laid, homeowners have peace of mind. You know what they say: Measure twice, cut once.

Simply put, these immersive experiences provide a platform to make prudent decisions by visualizing spaces fully. If you’re stressed about deciding on room sizes, Walk Your Plans or Walk Thru Plans have your back.

Why Sioux Falls and Why Now?

With Sioux Falls booming economically, the timing couldn’t be more perfect for these businesses to plant roots. Kooima believes the increased development makes it ideal to launch now. Whether you’re an architect, real estate developer, or city planner, this innovation signifies a leap into the future.

Drey sums it up neatly: “Test drive your house before you build it, and make sure it’s exactly what you want.” Because why not save time, money, and enjoy a seamless building process? Now, that’s living in the future today.
