What they did
Together with the firm HWKN, the company used AI throughout the project's development, not just on the facade, and plans to sell the tool to other developers.
How it went
The building has 700 studios of 18 to 33 m² and a potential sales value (VGV) of R$350 million. The company plans to offer the service to other developers.
Good to know
For small firms, the lesson is to test several scenarios before locking in the design.
