Features/Generate

Let AI design the site — within the rules.

UnlockLand AI Planning generates massing, yield, and unit-mix studies directly from the buildable envelope — every scheme respects setbacks, height, FAR, and density, so what you see is something you could actually build.

Conversation

Design a residential scheme on this lot. Push GFA toward the cap, keep parking compliant, and favour 2-beds.

Here's a compliant massing. I worked through it in four steps:

Read envelope — 31,400 sf footprint inside setbacks.

Stack floors — 8 storeys to the 28 m height cap.

Lay units — 224 homes, 58% 2-bed per your brief.

Check parking — 280 stalls = 1.25/unit, code met.

Try “increase 3-beds to 25%”…

Design studies that start compliant

Most generative design ignores the rules and leaves you to check feasibility later. AI Planning starts from the buildable envelope, so massing, floor counts, and unit mix are constrained by the site's actual zoning from the first iteration — design and compliance, together.

Massing studies

Building forms generated inside the envelope — footprint, floors, and orientation that fit the lot and its setbacks.

Yield optimization

AI pushes GFA toward the FAR ceiling without breaching height or coverage — maximizing what the rules will allow.

Unit-mix modeling

Apartment, townhouse, or mixed-use programs are laid into the massing with counts and sizes you can tune to the market.

How it works

STEP 1

Set the brief

Pick a use and program — residential, mixed-use, or commercial — and any targets like unit sizes or parking ratios.

STEP 2

AI generates massing

The engine fills the buildable envelope with compliant building forms, optimizing yield against FAR, height, and coverage.

STEP 3

Review yield & mix

See GFA, floor counts, and the resulting unit mix for each study, then refine the brief and regenerate in seconds.

Change the brief, regenerate in seconds

Tune the program in plain language and watch the scheme — and its compliance — update instantly. Every iteration stays inside the rules.

Where it fits in the workflow

AI Planning opens the generate phase. It takes the quantified envelope from Development Potential and turns it into design studies — then hands them to Scenario Generation to spin up multiple schemes worth comparing.
