Finch is a cloud-based generative design platform that helps architects produce optimised building layouts, floor plans, and unit designs.
It integrates with tools like Revit, Rhino, Grasshopper and Forma and acts as a generative co-pilot — bridging early-stage conception with data-informed refinement.
Finch is primarily designed for architects, computational designers, and planning teams working in early-stage development—especially multi-family residential projects.
It leverages generative AI, graph-based rule engines, and optimisation algorithms to automate layout creation. Its Graph Rules enable architects to define constraints (e.g., unit sizes, daylight, adjacency), and the software instantly generates compliant floor and unit plans or adapts existing firm plan libraries with live performance metrics and feedback.
