Designing a Future-Ready Medical Center with Enscape and Veras

Faced with a tight deadline, a difficult site, and a building with many requirements, the Sonnentag Architektur team needed design tools to help them problem-solve and adequately communicate their design. With Enscape Premium, the Sonnentag team used Veras for fast design iteration and Enscape to overcome site challenges and produce client-ready renderings. The final assets not only delighted their client, but convinced them to approve the ambitious design.

The Positive Impact of Real-Time Visualization at M Moser Associates

For M Moser Associates, Enscape is integral to client communication and daily design work. To make Enscape even easier for their designers, the team built SketchUp plugins for quick material and asset management, strengthening a model-based IPD workflow with textures kept in sync between SketchUp and Enscape. With real-time rendering, they can iterate quickly and communicate via renderings, animations, panoramas, and VR—saving time, averting delays, and avoiding client misunderstandings.

Enscape and Veras in Action: Designing a Community-Approved Penthouse Extension

After designing a four-dwelling apartment for himself and fellow owner-occupiers, architect Marco Iannelli explored a rooftop extension. Enscape let him refine the layout and staircase and navigate existing obstacles, while Veras sped up iterations to test materials and roof forms. Using Enscape assets to gather feedback, Marco finalized a future-proofed extension design to be built in the coming years.

Frequently asked questions.

What should I look for in architecture design software?

Architects often prioritize real-time feedback, integration with modeling tools (like Revit, SketchUp,Rhino, Archicad, or Vectorworks), sustainability insights, and high-quality presentation outputs. Choosing tools that work together across the workflow makes projects more efficient.

What are the best architecture design tools for concept development?

For early-stage ideation, architects often need to explore multiple directions quickly. Veras helps generate AI-powered design variations in seconds, so you can compare options and refine ideas without slowing down your workflow.

How can I visualize my designs in real time?

Enscape integrates directly into Revit, SketchUp, Rhino, Archicad, and Vectorworks, giving you instant rendering feedback as you model. This allows you to adjust lighting, materials, and layouts on the fly—with no exports or refreshes.

What are AI tools in architecture used for?

AI is increasingly used in architecture to generate design variations, explore new forms, and accelerate repetitive tasks. This gives architects more time to focus on creativity, client needs, and problem-solving.

How can I communicate design intent to clients and contractors more clearly?

Immersive visualization tools such as real-time walkthroughs, panoramas, VR, and cinematic presentations make spaces intuitive to understand. Whether it’s exploring the model directly in Enscape or creating polished narratives with Envision, these experiences help clients and contractors grasp design intent quickly and approve decisions with confidence.

Are Chaos architecture tools available on Mac as well as Windows?

Some are cross-platform, but certain integrations (like Enscape for Revit, Impact, and Envision) are currently Windows-only.

What is the best architecture design software for beginners?

For newcomers, intuitive tools like SketchUp or Revit LT are common starting points. To experience designs in context without complex rendering setups, Enscape offers real-time walkthroughs directly inside your modeling tool—helpful for beginners wanting quick visual feedback.

Which architecture design software includes BIM capabilities?

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is supported by programs like Autodesk Revit, Archicad, Rhino and Vectorworks. These tools store geometry and building data together, enabling better collaboration, clash detection, and accurate construction documentation.

Which architecture design software supports sustainable building design?

BIM tools such as Revit or Archicad support energy modeling plug-ins, while analysis platforms like IES VE or Sefaira offer detailed performance simulation. Early-stage visualization tools with sustainability insights—such as Enscape Impact (built on IES VE technology)—allow architects to test daylight, energy, and material performance during concept design, ensuring sustainable choices are considered from the start.

How do you use architecture design software in practice?

Architects sketch concepts, develop BIM models, coordinate data, test performance, and present designs. Enscape works across the entire process as a design companion—letting you explore ideas, adjust designs on the fly, and present immersive walkthroughs directly inside your modeling environment.
