Concept generation
Text prompt in, multiple coherent façade concepts out — conditioned on style, material, lighting, climate and composition rules.

Weeks of concept design,
compressed into hours.
Arches generates coherent multi-output architectural concepts — façade, massing, plan, restyling and a sustainability score — with Saudi-context and hot-arid climate intelligence built in.
Arches does not replace the architect — it supercharges them

Unified project package
Core engines
Six engines, one coherent concept
Specialised modules that share one project brief, one geometry and one sustainability model.
Sketch to render
Hand sketches, rough plans and old façades become photoreal renders and massing, with depth and geometry inferred from your linework.
ENG_02Plan generation
Concept-level floor plans driven by adjacency, circulation, minimum sizes, egress and accessibility heuristics.
ENG_03Photo restyling
Upload an existing façade and re-clad it — new materials and style, structural envelope kept intact.
ENG_04Sustainability pre-assessment
LEED, BREEAM and WELL concept scoring with red flags and recommendations, tuned to climate zone 1B.
ENG_05Project packaging
One project ID binds façade, massing, plan, restyling and score into a single exportable package.
ENG_06How it works
Brief to package in three moves
01
Write the brief
Building type, style, materials, lighting, orientation and site — structured fields, no prompt engineering.
02
Generate the set
Façade, massing, plan, restyling, 3D and flythrough, all conditioned on the same brief and geometry.
03
Score and export
Concept-stage LEED, BREEAM and WELL scoring, side-by-side comparison, then a single exportable package.
The product
Five outputs from one architectural brief
Each engine reads the same structured Program, so every deliverable stays dimensionally and materially coherent.
Façade
Façade concepts conditioned on style, material palette, shading depth and solar orientation.
Massing
Volumetric studies with setbacks, courtyards, self-shading and plot efficiency logic.
Concept Plan
Adjacency, circulation, egress and accessibility resolved at concept level.
Sketch → Render
Hand linework reconstructed into photoreal geometry with inferred depth.
Restyle
Existing façades re-clad with new materials while the structural envelope is preserved.
Building types
Typologies with their own guided program
Selecting a building purpose reshapes the guided questions and the structured Program every engine reads.
Villa
Plot, setbacks, floor-by-floor program, pool, garden and roof.
Mosque
Prayer hall capacity, ablution, minaret, women's section and access.
Mall
Retail units, atrium, food court, loading docks and parking logic.
Office
Open floor versus cellular offices, cores, meeting ratio and services.
Mixed-use
Retail podium, residential or hotel tower, shared cores and separation.

Sketch to render
Pencil study to presentation render
A frontal pencil elevation of a single-storey villa — stepped parapets, a screened panel over the entrance, a flat canopy and flanking palms — rebuilt in limestone and brass under golden-hour desert light, with the same head-on view.

Photo restyling
Dated apartment block, refaced
A worn beige block with surface-mounted split units is segmented into wall, opening and parapet zones, then re-clad in limestone with each window pulled into a recessed bronze shading box — floor lines and the street-level camera are held.

Enterprise
Built for studios that ship under their own name
White-label branding
Hide the Arches badge, upload your studio logo, and set fonts, palette and document accents across every report and showcase package.
Custom credit limits
Monthly generation limits set per account, with top-ups and per-engine allocation controlled by your administrator.
Contract-based access
Access duration, payment-waived terms and a dedicated payment link, issued and revoked from the enterprise contract console.
Multi-output
One brief. Every drawing.
Every Arches project carries a unified project ID. Façade concepts, massing studies, concept plans, restylings and the sustainability pre-assessment stay bound together — compared side by side and exported as a single package.
Generate a package
Kingdom focus
Deep roots in Saudi excellence.
Saudi-context intelligence
Designed for zone 1B.
Hot-arid performance and Saudi architectural identity are conditioning inputs, not afterthoughts — every concept is generated against the climate and vernacular of the site it belongs to.
Vernacular dictionaries
Najdi, Hejazi and contemporary Saudi language encoded as design conditioning, not decoration.
Local materials
Limestone, rammed earth, bronze screening and terracotta with lifecycle and albedo implications.
Climate heuristics
Hot-arid shading, self-shading massing, night flush ventilation and heat-island mitigation.
Framework alignment
Concept-stage LEED, BREEAM and WELL scoring before a single sheet is drawn.
