What can Architechtures do for AEC teams?
| Task | How it helps, and the check |
|---|---|
| Residential feasibility | Generates apartment and room layouts within the building volumes you model, in real time, for early feasibility. An architect must check every layout against the local authority's bye-laws and the National Building Code. |
| Area statements | Exports an XLSX report with gross, calculated and net areas per room and typology. Check area definitions against your authority's rules. |
| Drawings and BIM hand-off | Downloads general plans, floor plans and elevations as DXF, and the model as IFC, for development in your CAD or BIM tools. |
| Site and parking | Imports site context from OpenStreetMap, models topography and below-grade parking, and produces cost takeoffs. |

CloudBrain’s view
A practical feasibility tool for residential developers and their architects, with useful area tables and IFC and DXF outputs. Confirm it can handle your authority's rules, and check every layout before it goes further.
What is Architechtures?
Architechtures is a generative design platform for residential buildings, made by Smartscapes Studio in Málaga, Spain. You model the volumes of the buildings and parking in 2D and 3D, set design criteria such as room areas and dimensions, and it generates the layouts in real time. It runs in the browser.
How do architects and developers use it?
- Feasibility studies comparing unit mixes and layouts
- Area tables for gross, calculated and net areas
- DXF and IFC outputs to continue in CAD or BIM
- Cost takeoffs for early budgeting
What should you check before using it on projects?
- Rules. Confirm FAR, setbacks, ground coverage and egress for your authority.
- Areas. Match its area definitions to the authority's.
- Exchange. Check DXF and IFC files after import. See IFC explained for Indian architects.
Architechtures is a form of generative design, optimising layouts within constraints you set.
