Qubu is a generative-design toolkit for architects and multifamily developers, delivered as Grasshopper plugins for Rhino.
It automates residential layout generation, daylighting, acoustic and urban-planning analysis, with the freemium Qubu Studio now in open beta.
Individual modules such as Ultralight are already available on Food4Rhino, with more releasing as part of the broader Studio suite.
Qubu builds generative and evaluation software for Rhino Grasshopper aimed at multifamily and residential real estate development.
The current plugin lineup includes Ultralight (direct sunlight and daylight-factor evaluation, compatible with Rhino 7 and 8 on Windows and Mac), Informedspace (urban planning), Urbangrid (generative urban design from development zones), Gridgrid (automated building placement and plot distribution), Gridhive (building platform generation from spatial assets), Hivecomb (residential living-space generation and fine-tuning), and Cyberwaves (real-time acoustic validation).
Because they run inside Grasshopper, the modules can also be used from Revit or AutoCAD via Rhino.Inside. Qubu Studio, the vendor's broader generative-AEC platform for designing and building multi-family real estate, is currently in open beta with early-access signup, and the vendor markets a freemium, no-billing pricing model. The company (DEVS s.r.o.) is based in Slovakia and has received Next Generation EU funding.
