Go from an empty site to dozens of comparable massing scenarios in a single sitting — each with typologies, 3D context and metrics attached.
Every typology carries its planning logic, and your constraints — unit distribution, density rules, height limits — steer the generation. Scenarios come out buildable, not just beautiful.
Gross floor area, residential units, parking and site coverage ratio are computed automatically for every scenario. Spend the time on design decisions, not spreadsheets.
How does it work
Search any address and set the area you want to study. Hektar loads the surroundings automatically.
Existing buildings and terrain load as 3D context, so every scenario is evaluated against its real neighbours, slopes and streets.
Overlay property boundaries, flood risk and noise to see the site's constraints before you design.
Generate dozens of scenarios in minutes, each with its own metrics.
Sketch buildings on the map and see them in 3D as you draw. The numbers update as you go.
Let the algorithm fill the site within your constraints, then keep what works and regenerate the rest.
Every scenario carries the same set of metrics, so they can be compared side by side.
Set gross floor area, units, coverage ratio and parking, then filter down to the scenarios that hit them.
Sun hours and daylight are computed on every scenario from the first sketch, not late in the process.
Be it lamellas, row houses, quarters or villas, all building typologies come with a distinct ruleset. Interdependent on other aspects of the urban fabric, such as the street network that supports them, the ruleset has been decoded and incorporated in Hektar to aid your design process.
Accessing an extensive dataset of urban typologies, Hektar generates feasible design proposals based on real-word data.
