CRD
You have a few urban massing concepts and you need to assess the potential feasibilities for a residential program while adhering to municipal constrains. For example a specific social ratio, quantity of apartments, parking or fire-escape regulations. Consequently, you aim to explore compatible building typologies and program distributions. And ideally, you want directly to assess these financially.
2024, Self-commissioned
In scenarios involving program development, we start from urban massing(s) and agreed constraints. Our customized modular workflow uses span-distribution systems to explore & find optimized solutions that align with your program goals.

For each option we export the data, analyze & conclude steps towards our targets. In this case, we see the sorted results of the 96 program alternatives. Massing [A] has the highest apt amount, striking a compromisse between a large volume and best solar hours for neighbouring apartments. Considering ca.65 m2 BFA per apartment, we can fit 111 units with ca. 5900 m2 of facade, ca. 1900 m2 of roof area & ca. 6400 m2 NFA.

Applied early-on, such approaches systematically decrease risks & maximize new program potentials. Integraly set up, these insights can also lead to further urban massing refinements. In addition these can support collaborations, as iterated visual results can be show-cased in presentations or co-creative meetings with locals, authorities & experts. In this way decisions can be made more transparent, objective & efficient.

We can link and integrate the program solutions with your specific local parking requirements. We can also explore the positioning & sizing of particular functional needs, as shared or commercial spaces. Based on the program composition, the typologies & sizes, we can integrate a financial model and calculate early-on feasibility estimates for each solution.
