What we'll cover
Intro to Giraffe
Understand the Giraffe interface and how to navigate. Learn about Giraffe's map, pencil, and calculator tools and their integration. Set up a project with GIS, planning, and zoning data.
Sketching and Site Analysis
Map and model design concepts directly in context. Illustrate site constraints, model envelopes and diagram design strategy. Zoom between lot and urban scale to find opportunities and constraints.
Building the Brief
Use spatial data to filter and score development sites. Track and manage your pipeline directly on the map. Apply zoning, overlays, and constraints in real time.
Design Options
Draw and test-fit layouts with live feasibility feedback. Model GFA, NSA, height, setbacks, and typologies. Compare yield outcomes across multiple design options.
Feasibility Analytics
Import CAD, PDF, and surveys into your model. Iterate and compare live scenario models. Assess designs for compliance and development potential.
Interactive Presentations
Use AI to validate assumptions and summarise outputs. Automate area schedules, reports, and investment cases. Export clean data for Excel, Argus, and Revit workflows.
