Faster, Better & Smarter Design Workflows with AI

The emergence of AI is reshaping how architects brainstorm ideas, optimize processes, and deliver results. A survey conducted by Architizer and Chaos on the state of architectural visualization in 2025 states that 44% of respondents are using AI to generate concept images and early design ideas, while 32% are turning to AI to enhance photorealism and 26% to optimize image quality.

The new Chaos suites introduce AI-powered solutions for architectural design. Built around Enscape, they are designed with architects in mind and provide better value and easier access to the tools needed for faster, better, and smarter design workflows.

 

Better value and easier access to the tools you need

Chaos suites offer more value and easier access to AI-powered toolkits to supercharge your workflow. Enscape Premium and the ArchDesign Collection are ideal for individual architects and teams who want to speed up their design processes to free up time to focus on creativity.

Enscape Premium includes Enscape, the Chaos AI Enhancer, and Veras in one subscription. You’ll benefit from AI-powered ideation, faster design iteration, and be presentation-ready with less effort.

The ArchDesign Collection includes Enscape, the Chaos AI Enhancer, Veras, Envision, and Enscape Impact in one subscription. It offers the best value and is your complete suite of products that will accompany you from ideation to presentation.

Fast ideation and design exploration

Fast decision-making is crucial in the ideation and pre-design stages, but it shouldn’t come at the cost of design quality. An AI-powered workflow helps bridge that gap, enabling faster iterations without compromising creativity or precision.

Veras is an AI-powered visualization tool for leading modeling applications like Revit and SketchUp. It uses your 3D model geometry as a substrate for creativity and inspiration, making it ideal for ideation and pre-design. Its integration with Enscape lets you use Veras directly inside your CAD/BIM application to test various styles without having to lock anything into your model too early.

This type of workflow facilitates rapid design exploration. It helps you find the right aesthetic quickly, which you can then easily share with colleagues and clients, making early design feedback quicker and easier.

Image enhancement with minimal effort

Realistic assets bring a project to life and help you communicate your design intent better. The Chaos AI Enhancer leverages AI to upscale people and vegetation assets with lifelike details from within Enscape. As it’s not a third-party solution, you don’t have to leave your design application when enhancing the quality of your scenes, saving time and maintaining productivity.

Veras is also great for image enhancement because it allows you to quickly generate multiple visual variations—like different seasons, times of day, or stylistic looks—from a single image. This makes it ideal for faster iterations and implementing client feedback.

The Chaos AI Enhancer and Veras are both tools that sharpen images without sacrificing performance. From enhancing the realism in your assets to simulating atmospheric lighting, this level of quality helps you deliver emotionally resonant visuals with little effort.

Design and visualize smarter, not harder

Using the AI-powered toolkits provides a faster, more flexible design experience. The suites give you a new, creative way of working that reduces the need for multiple disconnected tools, from accelerating design iteration to enabling more realistic and immersive output.

"Chaos' Enscape and Veras bring a bit of magic to our work at First Forty Feet. These tools are changing the way we visualize the cities of the future; helping us create vivid, realistic images of revitalized downtowns and neighborhoods. These tools make it easier for us to support our vision that a better city isn’t just an aspiration, it’s achievable and within reach."

Will Grimm, Principal/Owner, First Forty Feet
