Different building typologies come with different logics.
Hektar masters them all.
Hektar supports different typologies to cover a wider variety of different project types. Weather your project is a dense urban master plan or a single-family housing project at a more rural location, we got you covered!
As architects ourselves, we’ve put lots of effort into decoding what constitutes successful planning – ultimately what principles make for pleasant and liveable cities. Occationally a degree of randomization is needed to achieve the variation and character of a place we would refer to as home.
However, there is so much more to Hektar. Having been developed to assist with practicalities based on your requirements, it will ensure feasibility from scratch, in the artistically most meaningful way.
For multi-family housing, the very core of urban residential development, Hektar departs from an orthogonal grid, with either open or closed blocks, lamellas or point houses filling each or most of the parcels according to your specifications.
Based on our vast dataset of real-world projects, Hektar finds suitable apartment units that get combined to a definitive volume for each individual building of every parcel. This inside-out-approach ensures architectural quality and feasibility on all scales – from the unit to the building to the urban fabric.
Constituted by various proportions of free-standing houses, pair houses or row houses, the urban fabric that is single-family houses is all about making the most of the available land. Hektar is specialised on finding the best balance and scale for common areas, street network, houses, and gardens to create liveable neighbourhoods.
It is a powerful tool for a designer to generate unprecedented amounts of scenarios to brainstorm and compare architectural parameters.

We developed Hektar to supercharge you, the architect. Basically, it is an augmented drafting tool for early-stage city planning, streamlining the design process by handling complexity and automizing monotonous, time-consuming tasks, leaving you more time to design.
The task of city planning is notoriously challenging, encompassing multiple scales ranging from micro to macro. Cross-referencing all possible choices and outcomes quickly becomes overwhelming. Hektar will provide a comprehensive overview of alternatives to find the path forward.
Risk assessment requires getting the right information at the right time. Hektar was developed as a transparent and comprehensive tool for decision-making based on relevant data, as early as possible.
