SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Identify and apply building typologies for a broad range of uses (residential, office, healthcare, education, culture, hospitality) to guide plan types, core strategies, daylighting, and density decisions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Comprehensive typology catalogue covering 1. Residential, 2. Office, 3. Healthcare, 4. Education, 5. Cultural, 6. Hospitality with explicit metrics (plan depth, NTG, floor plates), core and circulation strategies, and exemplar projects.
  • Density planning and unit-mix guidance including how typology choices affect density, parking, daylight, and amenity allocations.
  • Use case: Given a site brief with constraints, generate recommended typology options, corresponding floor plans and exemplar references.

Quick Start

Provide a site brief and performance targets to receive a typology recommendation and exemplar projects.

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose the right building typology for my site brief?

To choose the right building typology, provide your site brief and performance targets to receive tailored recommendations, corresponding plan configurations, core strategies, and exemplar project references.

What building uses are covered by the typology catalogue?

The typology catalogue covers residential, office, healthcare, education, cultural, and hospitality uses, providing explicit metrics for plan depth, NTG ratios, floor plates, and circulation strategies.

Can I use this to plan density and unit mixes for residential projects?

Yes, you can use this to plan density and unit mixes, as it provides guidance on how typology choices affect density, parking allocations, daylight standards, and amenity distributions.

How does building typology affect daylighting and core design?

Building typology directly dictates daylighting and core design by constraining plan depth and floor plate size, which in turn determines core size, circulation strategies, and overall daylight standards.

What is the best way to determine plan depth and core size for a specific project?

The best way to determine plan depth and core size is to evaluate your performance targets against the typology catalogue, which provides explicit metrics for plan depth, core strategies, and NTG ratios.
