WHY IT EXISTS

Why This Tool Exists

The Problem

Architects spend days to weeks manually iterating floor plans and design options during early-phase project development. Manual design iteration prevents exploration of multiple layout options within project constraints, delays decision-making on unit mixes and programming, and introduces inconsistencies with building codes and firm standards.

The Solution

AI-powered generative design system that automatically generates multiple optimized floor plan options based on user-defined constraints, building codes, and design rules. Creates detailed parametric layouts in minutes, enables rapid iteration with instant compliance feedback, and integrates natively with Revit, Rhino, and Grasshopper for seamless workflow integration.
