AI-Powered Residential Architecture for Smarter Living

Residential Architecture Powered by AI

Residential architecture shapes how people live, rest, and connect, whether in suburban cul-de-sacs or vertical neighborhoods in the heart of the city. At cove, we approach residential design as an opportunity to merge data, beauty, and livability through AI in architecture.

cove, a full-service, AI-powered architecture firm, supports developers with solutions that are performance-driven, sustainable, and tailored to diverse housing typologies -- from single-family homes to affordable housing and mixed-use communities. Our goal is simple: design residential buildings that balance comfort, efficiency, and long-term value.

Multi-Family & Affordable Housing

From urban infill to garden-style housing, we design AI-powered multifamily communities—balancing density, livability, and policy alignment.

We integrate sustainability, zoning intelligence, and amenity planning to ensure long-term value and superior resident experience across market-rate and affordable housing projects.

Single Family Architecture

We design high-performance single-family homes that prioritize comfort, privacy, and long-term value.

With scalable design options and permitting intelligence built in, we help developers streamline delivery while elevating curb appeal, environmental performance, and overall quality of life.

Why AI in Residential Architecture Matters

At cove, we don’t just design homes; we help developers make data-informed decisions that elevate every aspect of residential architecture. Our proprietary AI system, Vitras.ai, simulates energy performance, cost models, daylight access, and code compliance in real time, empowering faster, smarter, and more sustainable design outcomes.

Whether you're planning a single-family subdivision, navigating the complexities of affordable housing, or shaping a high-rise mixed-use community, cove’s team of architects apply the intelligence of AI in architecture to unlock the highest and best use of every site.

From urban infill parcels to garden-style master plans, and from row houses and townhomes to mid-rise and senior living developments, we deliver designs that balance zoning, policy, and long-term performance with aesthetic and human-centered goals. Our AI-driven process allows developers to evaluate dozens of configurations instantly, aligning density with comfort, financial feasibility with livability, and ambition with real-world constraints.
