Designing Public Architecture with Intelligence and Purpose

Why AI in Institutional Architecture Matters

Civic and institutional buildings must deliver lasting value, both economically and socially, as well as environmentally. At cove, our proprietary AI system, Vitras.ai, implements AI in architecture to simulate spatial performance, optimize costs, and model usage patterns before construction begins. This helps developers and public stakeholders deliver spaces that are not only functional but also inspirational.

From government offices to educational campuses and community centers, we align public mission with performance-driven outcomes—ensuring every facility is accessible, enduring, and purpose-built.

With global experience and sector-specific expertise, we design for legacy, resilience, and civic identity.
