ARCHITEChTURES review
AI-generated residential plans with BIM metrics, cost data and professional exports.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ARCHITEChTURES is a cloud-based generative-AI design platform for architects and real-estate developers working on residential developments. Users enter project criteria and model building volumes in 2D and 3D; the system generates optimized geometry, floor plans and BIM models. AI-assisted and manual editing modes support both criteria-led generation and subsequent design changes. Its focus is development design optimization rather than general-purpose room planning, making it a better fit for professional residential projects than casual home-layout work.
A notable strength is the connection between design generation and project metrics. The platform calculates BIM metrics, areas, quantities and costs in real time, and can generate underground parking. OpenStreetMap location, terrain and topography import provide site context. Projects can be shared in view or edit mode, while XLSX, DXF and IFC exports support reporting, CAD and BIM workflows. These capabilities suit teams that need to evaluate development options and carry design information into other tools; OpenStreetMap is the named integration.
The published plans show a 7-day free trial but no free plan, and the starting price is 39 CHF. Pro includes AI-assisted and manual editing, parking design, project calculations, storage for 200 designs and XLSX, DXF and IFC downloads. Business adds comparison and financial analysis, cost analysis, presets and storage for 1,200 designs. Enterprise adds unlimited storage, customized typologies and data output, team management, and customized training and support. Pick ARCHITEChTURES if optimization, project metrics and exportable design outputs are central to your residential workflow. It is less suitable for users seeking a free tool or simple standalone room planning.
