AI-powered generative design for residential site planning
Generative design platform using AI and genetic algorithms to automatically generate optimized site layouts, floor plans, and building massing solutions. Analyzes sunlight exposure, building spacing, zoning constraints, and density requirements to produce feasible design alternatives in minutes instead of days.

Why This Tool Exists
Architects and urban planners spend 40+ hours manually testing site configurations and building placements during feasibility studies. Iterating through different heights, densities, orientations, and constraints delays project timelines and prevents exploration of multiple design alternatives. This tedious manual work often results in suboptimal solutions and missed project deadlines.
Automatically generates 20+ optimized site layouts in under one hour using genetic algorithms and machine learning. Analyzes sunlight exposure, building spacing, density requirements, and height constraints in real-time to produce feasible design alternatives. Architects review and compare options in minutes instead of days, with full BIM-ready exports for downstream design development.
