Set the site, levels, target mix and GFA, and a rule-based engine lays out the floor plate live: units, rooms, balconies, core and corridor, each scored against distilled Victorian apartment design guidelines. Drag any slider and watch compliance respond, or let the auto-fixer search the design space for you. Built to show the technology, not to replace the architect.
What this demonstrates
Compliance intelligence. The same generative planning and machine-readable ruleset architecture we deploy for residential feasibility platforms, encoded here with distilled Victorian apartment standards.
Demonstration only. Results are indicative and should not be relied upon for planning, regulatory, building, legal or design decisions. Professional review is required.

This browser demo runs a distilled ruleset; client deployments encode the full guidelines and land results in Revit, Forma-class tools or custom platforms.
How these demos relate to the systems we build for clients.
An indicative distillation of the Apartment Design Guidelines for Victoria: building depth, daylight and cross ventilation, minimum unit and room dimensions, private open space, circulation, access, site coverage and the brief's target GFA. Every generated room is evaluated individually, so a failing bedroom is traceable to its clause. Client deployments encode the full machine-readable standards plus the site's specific planning controls.
It searches the design-controllable parameters, levels and the apartment mix, for the closest configuration that clears more criteria, and reports every change it makes with the before-and-after compliance score. The site dimensions stay fixed because they are a constraint, not a design decision; anything the fixer can't clear is listed as needing a site or brief change.
Deterministically: the buildable envelope is derived from setbacks, a lift core and corridor are placed, then a quota-based packer fills each frontage with units tracking your target mix; unit frontages size themselves to the plan depth so minimum areas stay achievable. Rooms, balconies and aspect are derived per unit, then scored. The same architecture runs in our client feasibility platforms.
No, it is an educational demonstration of GIRIH X technology. Its practical value is speed at feasibility: test dozens of massing, mix and brief options in minutes with a live compliance readout, then take the shortlist into design development with your consultants.
Everything in the Playground is built with the same stack we deploy for clients: configurators driven by real product masters, planners connected to BIM data, and AR experiences served straight from the product catalogue.
