Case study: building aecoviz, an AI workspace for architects

Summary

CloudBrain designed and built aecoviz, a browser-based AI workspace for architects. It brings four tools together: Floor Plan Studio turns a brief into an editable plan with compliance checks, Render Studio and Concept Studio produce visuals from text, and Studio Manager ERP tracks team workload and studio finance — with a rule that every AI output is checked before issue.

What did we set out to build?

One place where architects can use AI across early design and studio management, instead of juggling separate tools. The product is organised around four studios:

  • Floor Plan Studio — brief to editable floor plan; precise 2D/3D wall and room editing; coverage, FAR and egress checks; indicative BOQ.
  • Render Studio — chat-style photoreal renders, 3D axonometrics and elevations.
  • Concept Studio — exterior and interior concept stills and video walkthroughs from a text brief.
  • Studio Manager ERP — team workload, credits and plan usage, and studio finance.

How does aecoviz keep AI output trustworthy?

Every plan stays editable, so the architect is always in control of the result, and aecoviz carries a simple rule: AI outputs may be inaccurate, so verify before issuing. The same principle — a qualified person reviews every output — runs through our approach to client projects.

What does this mean for our clients?

  • AI on real architectural tasks — the plan, compliance and BOQ workflows behind our workflow automation service.
  • AI visualisation in production — the experience behind our AI visualisation consulting.
  • Explore, then model — aecoviz pairs with aecobuild: explore in the cloud with aecoviz, model precisely offline with aecobuild.
