Work through design variants and floor plans faster

Architects generate design variants and floor plans

Needs setupAI Act: no extra obligationsDesigning & simulatingConstruction & architecture

Fits: Research & development

In the preliminary design phase, you can quickly test several arrangements of building volume and rooms against the room schedule, buildable area and sunlight, instead of committing to one idea early on. The variants are a working basis for discussion with the client; the design remains your work.

Is this for you?

  • You regularly design housing, nurseries, offices or other buildings with a clear room schedule.
  • In a competition or preliminary design, you want to show more variants than you can draw by hand.
  • Your practice works with CAD or a building model and can trial new tools for a few weeks.
First step today

Take a completed or invented project without address and client, and use the template below to check the room schedule and buildable area against each other and have three zoning options described in words. Compare them with what you drew at the time.

How to go about it

  1. Define the room schedule, buildable area and requirements
  2. Provide the site plan, existing buildings and practice standards
  3. Generate building volumes and floor plans in variants
  4. Review and develop variants as a team
  5. Coordinate with the client and specialist planners
  6. Turn findings into requirements and standards
