Archly.ai
Generative Massing Engine
Accelerate early-stage design with AI trained on 50,847 architectural typologies. Generate optimized massing options in 4.2 seconds—complete with FAR calculation, solar analysis, and unit yield estimates. Currently in closed beta with 127 architecture firms.
Sketch Input 
AI Generated Massing The Generative Pipeline
Define
Input your site boundary, zoning constraints (setbacks, height limits), and target program mix.
Generate
Our voxel-based solver explores thousands of volume configurations to find the optimal fit for your goals.
Analyze
Get real-time feedback on FAR, GFA, unit yields, and sunlight exposure for every iteration.
AI Transformation: Basic 3D wireframe model (left) transformed into photorealistic render with materials, lighting, and landscaping (right). 85% faster than traditional rendering workflows.
Scenarios
Highest & Best Use
Instantly evaluate the potential of a land acquisition. Archly calculates the maximum buildable envelope and tests layout efficiency to determine financial viability before you buy.
- ✓ Rapid Yield Calculation
- ✓ Zoning Envelope Visualization
- ✓ ROI Estimation
Iterative Optioneering
Break out of the "first idea" trap. Generate dozens of distinct massing strategies—courtyards, towers, terras formats—in minutes, giving you a wider design space to explore.
- ✓ Typological Exploration
- ✓ Solar-Aware Shaping
- ✓ Massing-to-BIM Export
Core Capabilities
Typology Library
Access pre-trained logic for Residential, Commercial, and Mixed-Use typologies.
Solar Optimization
Self-shading analysis reshapes the building to maximize daylight access.
CAD Interoperability
Export clean geometry to Rhino, Revit, and SketchUp workflows.
Designed for Agile Development
Stop spending weeks on massing studies. Start designing with intelligence.
Design Modes
Beyond massing studies—Archly transforms how architects visualize ideas. From napkin sketches to client-ready presentations in minutes.
Sketch → Render
Upload your hand-drawn floor plan or concept sketch. Archly interprets spatial intent and generates photorealistic 3D visualizations—complete with furniture, materials, and natural lighting.
Pencil Sketch 
AI Visualization Material Swap
Test facade materials and finishes without re-rendering. Transform brutalist concrete into warm terracotta, swap glass for timber louvers—see design decisions instantly.
Element Addition
"Add a glass vase on the table." "Place a modern sofa by the window." Natural language commands to populate and modify rendered scenes.
Design Faster. Iterate Smarter.
From early sketches to massing studies to client presentations— Archly accelerates every stage of the design process.
