Every client change in concept phase costs you a day.
In early design, every conversation ends with a list of what-ifs. What if we flipped the building? What if we added a floor? What if we went with a different unit mix? With traditional tools — Rhino, SketchUp, Revit — each of those is a manual rebuild. Your team comes back to the next meeting with one or two tested alternatives. With AI-powered concept tools, you come back with ten. And you can run new ones live in the room.
Six capabilities that put design back in control.
Generative Massing
AI produces code-compliant massing options from FAR limits, setbacks, height restrictions, and unit mix targets. Explore the full constraint space — not just the first idea.
Site & Climate Analysis
Sun path, shadow, wind, and microclimate analysis evaluated in real-time as the massing evolves. Performance informs form from day one, not design development.
Program Compliance
Unit count, gross area, efficiency ratios, and parking requirements verified against the program brief automatically. No manual spreadsheet reconciliation after every change.
Rapid Iteration
Multi-user, browser-based sessions let principals, designers, and clients explore options together in real time. No file-passing, no version conflicts, no waiting.
Revit / BIM Handoff
Selected concept geometries translate directly into structured Revit models. Design intent survives the transition to construction documents — no rebuild from scratch.
Constraint Visualization
Zoning envelopes, setback planes, and view corridors rendered as live 3D constraints. Teams design within bounds they can see, not static diagrams they have to remember.
What clients ask for. What that costs you now. What it costs with us.
| Client asks… | Traditional | AI-Assisted |
|---|---|---|
| “Add a floor to the massing” | Half day to rebuild | Minutes |
| “Show me a different unit mix” | Manual recalc + model update | Real-time |
| “What does this look like from the street?” | Separate rendering workflow | Live in the model |
| “Can we run the sun study with this orientation?” | Climate consultant, later | On the spot |
| “How does this hand off to the CD team?” | Rebuild in Revit | Direct translate |
| “Can we see 3 more options by Thursday?” | Overtime | Done in the meeting |
Every project type has its own version of the same problem.
Residential & Mixed-Use
- Generate and test unit mix options against pro forma targets before schematic design locks the program.
- Catch FAR, parking, and setback violations in concept — not at permit.
- Hand off massing to Revit without rebuilding. Design intent arrives intact.
Commercial & Institutional
- Optimize floor plate efficiency against program requirements from the first client meeting.
- Run sun and shadow studies during concept to inform facade orientation and LEED targets.
- Deliver a tested, multi-option concept package on day one of SD — not after weeks of coordination.
Urban & Master Planning
- Evaluate multiple block configurations against density targets and climate performance simultaneously.
- Present clients with quantified options — GFA, unit count, open space — not hand-drawn alternatives.
- Iterate publicly in community review sessions. Show the answer to “what if” in the room, not at the next meeting.
From site constraints to tested concept in four steps.
Site + Program Input
Site boundary, zoning envelope, program brief, and pro forma targets loaded as structured constraints that govern every option generated.
Generative Exploration
AI produces massing options across the full constraint space. Teams filter by GFA, efficiency, orientation, and massing character.
Performance Analysis
Shortlisted options evaluated for sun, wind, shadow, and program compliance in the same environment — no external tools, no waiting.
BIM Handoff
Selected concept exported as structured Revit geometry. Design intent preserved through the transition to construction documents.
