How it works
Ark Design AI's software analyzes architectural designs and generates optimized building designs that meet project requirements and local regulations. It can create infinite variations to optimize for density, profitability, and living standards.
Benefits
Ark Design AI can help architects make better and faster decisions, and cut design costs by up to 90%. It can also free up architects' time and energy for more creative endeavors. Features
Ark Design AI can create automated floor plans and feasibility reports. It can also generate a unique mix of unit types for a floor layout.
Trial
Ark Design AI offers a 10-day free trial. Ark Design AI was built by a team of AI scientists, architects, and software developers.
Stage 1 Properties Provide several basic details about your project, such as the number of Floors, the number of Dwelling units, building uses and the Zoning district; these details will help ARK suggest better options further in the process.
Stage 2 Lot Type & Lot Editor Please select the preferred lot type: Interior Lot (One side street lot), Corner Lot (Two side street lot), or 2 Corner Lot (Three side corner lot). Once selected, kindly click on “Next” to proceed.
Create the property lines of the Lot and provide information on the surroundings (Streets, Adjacent buildings, and yards).
Stage 3 Locate Main Floors Locate the schematic floor plate of the ground and Typical floor of the Project, use different Shapes and sizes to explore and select a floor scheme.
Stage 4 Core Editor Design the Vertical Shafts focusing on the residential floors; Adjust the circulation and Determine Room size according to the market standards and building type (Rental/ Condo/ Affordable).
Stage 5 Schematic Section Receive the schematic side view and 3D massing of your project. From this point forward plan the project according to your personal preferences. Control the number of floors and their types(Cellar, Ground, Mixed-use, Typical and setback), Edit the floor plans, View summarize area calculations and export it to PDF and Revit file for further design.
Stage 6 Floor Plan Editor Edit the Floor plate, create recesses, courts and setbacks; plan the units layout based on your choice of units types distribution. Within minutes the Ark algorithm will generate potential floor plans that meets building code. Select and edit the best option for your project.
Stage 7 Plan Unit Mix The floor layout design includes various unit types such as studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom apartments, each with customizable settings like price per square foot and minimum area. Room distribution control ensures optimal use of rooms along window walls without exceeding the maximum available area. The process allows for creating a unique mix of unit types for the typical floor layout, balancing efficiency and market demands.
