Montelo
Run analysis and simulation from a drawing, instantly. A new experience of architectural design — where intuition can be verified right on the spot.
Drawings, analyzed directly.
Upload your design data (.png, .pdf, .dwg, .ifc, and more) to begin analysis. Any detailed settings and conditions can be worked out through dialogue with the AI, so there is no need to be a simulation specialist.
Prep work, moved entirely into the background.
All the preparation needed for each kind of analysis is handled in the background. The work that specialists once spent hours on falls away, and designers can focus on the question they actually want to verify.
Test your intuition, on the spot.
Connected to diverse analyses and simulations relevant to architecture — thermal, airflow, energy, structural, and more — a single service enables multi-faceted analysis across disciplines. Results are visualized through viewers and reports, and can be exported in a variety of formats to suit your purpose.
Stay alongside the next move.
Montelo goes beyond automating simulation. It stays alongside designers from interpreting results to surfacing insights that lead to the next idea — allowing designers to focus fully on bringing their creativity to life.
Starting from the practice of "model-making."
The name "Montelo" comes from the Greek word that, like the English "Model," means a "model" or a "scale model."
In architectural design, model-making is the act of giving a thought-form a physical presence — testing the soundness of a design while bringing it closer to reality. It is the most primitive and essential way to keep an idea from staying an idea, and to give it shape so it can be examined.
Montelo carries that role into the digital realm. It exists to verify design proposals through simulation, and to send ideas — that would otherwise have stayed as pure imagination — toward implementation, with solid evidence.
The α release is live
Montelo is currently available as an α release. We are looking for designers, engineers, and students in architecture who want to try it out — anyone curious is welcome.
Your impressions and "what if it could do this?" requests will be folded into our updates as they arrive.
If you would like to grow Montelo with us, please request a demo.
