SHI-X / AI Builder

Your next space, from the first drawing.

A home, a villa or a wider development starts with a clear brief. AI Builder is being designed to connect drawings and 3D design with material choices, sourcing and shipping planning through SHI-X. Explore the home-design demos and see how the pieces come together.

The SHI-X companion and a designer study a villa model and architectural drawing on a worktable.

Start with the space

One plan. Three ways to understand it.

A drawing shows the dimensions. A three-dimensional view makes the rooms easier to understand. Furnishings help you judge how the space could feel in everyday use. Explore these views from the same home-design demo.

Homes, villas and developments

Give the bigger idea a clear starting point.

Bring together the site, the size of the project and the way you want people to use it. AI Builder's planned property workflow connects that brief with architectural directions and views of the spaces, so there is something concrete to discuss and refine.

Design the whole home

Make each choice in the context of the room.

Begin with floors, walls and ceilings, then consider furniture, lighting and the details around them. The films show how individual choices can be brought into one room and one home, rather than considered as isolated products.

The SHI-X companion stands in a connected living and dining space with furniture and warm lighting.

Materials & sourcing

A design needs a clear material brief.

Finish, size, quantity and intended use all shape a sourcing conversation. AI Builder's planned materials workflow brings those choices into a list that can be discussed with Shipay, connecting the look of a space with the information needed to source for it.

  1. 01Finishes & products
  2. 02Quantities & material list
  3. 03Supplier discussion
  4. 04Shipping requirements

Keep the destination in the plan.

Different products and suppliers create different shipping requirements. Talk to Shipay about what you intend to buy, where it needs to go and the information needed to plan the next handover.
