ATLANTA — Cove, an innovative AI company revolutionizing the architectural industry, today introduces its full-service architecture division, Cove Architecture. This new entity aims to lead a transformative era in architecture, leveraging a cutting-edge AI framework developed over a decade with more than $25 million invested in research and development. The goal: to reshape the way buildings are designed, constructed, and delivered.

Cove Architecture blends architectural excellence with the power of AI, ensuring that every project is not only aesthetically stunning but also stays within budget and meets deadlines. By incorporating AI-driven real-time insights into the design process, Cove is streamlining workflows and enhancing the efficiency of architecture teams, thus creating more sustainable buildings with significant cost reductions.

Innovative AI Framework Behind Cove Architecture

Cove's breakthrough AI framework is built on two core components: Vitras.ai and ARK_BIM, both developed by Cove to redefine how the architectural industry approaches design and construction.

Vitras.ai is an analytical tool that processes large volumes of data to surface key insights in real time. It allows the team to identify potential issues in a fraction of the time it would normally take. For example, it detects cost variables, ensures FEMA and building code compliance, and identifies any potential red flags with over 95% accuracy.

On the other hand, ARK_BIM takes the insights provided by Vitras.ai and turns them into dynamic 3D models and construction documents. ARK_BIM’s web-based platform, with Git-style version control, enables smooth parallel collaboration among teams, helping streamline the design process and ensuring projects stay on track and within scope.

Sandeep Ahuja, Co-founder and CEO of Cove, shared, “When we started Cove, we began by building software for others to optimize costs, compress timelines, and meet performance standards. Over time, we realized that the best way to showcase the true potential of our technology was to use it ourselves, end to end. Today, that technology forms the bedrock of our architecture services – rather than just offering tools, we guide projects from concept to completion.”

Revolutionizing Design with Efficiency and Sustainability

Cove Architecture is not just about speed but also about fostering sustainable, high-quality designs. Thanks to the AI-driven approach, Cove has already seen impressive results in the field. Projects are designed up to 50% faster, with design iterations completed much more efficiently. The use of AI also leads to significant cost reductions, with projects experiencing savings of up to 20% in overall expenses. Additionally, built-in compliance checks mitigate risks, making the construction process safer and more predictable.

Patrick Chopson, Co-founder and CPO at Cove, explained, “Our team spent years perfecting simulation engines and building the robust data sets that now serve as the ‘brain’ for Vitras.ai and ARK_BIM. We experimented, tested accuracy, and refined algorithms to the point where we could finally embed an AI agent into the process itself. We built our AI from the ground up, and are applying our breakthroughs to real projects.”

Cove Architecture's First Project in Atlanta

Cove Architecture recently completed its first major project, a multi-family housing complex in Atlanta’s West End neighborhood. The project was delivered in an astounding 15 days and utilized the AI framework to set new benchmarks in architectural design and efficiency. Key results include:

• 60% reduction in design timelines
• 95% accuracy in early-stage cost estimates
• 40% reduction in design iteration expenses

The project, located at 1247 Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard, includes 15 row houses, each outfitted with modern smart home technologies and sustainable features. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with its surroundings, including the nearby Atlanta Beltline, promoting a contemporary yet community-focused living experience. This project sets a new standard for urban design and is a clear example of how Cove Architecture is redefining the construction process.
