Designed for its site. Sun, wind and climate.

Put the home on the map and set north. Loftshape looks up the climate and the winds there, turns the plan so the living rooms get the sun, sizes the windows for the heat, and reports how the home stands to the wind.

How it works

  1. 01

    Pin the site

    Find the place on the map and set where north is.

  2. 02

    Read the climate

    A year of weather tells whether it is hot, humid, mild or cold, and where the winds come from.

  3. 03

    Plan for it

    The generator turns and opens the home for that place, and says why.

What you get

  • Sun where you live

    Living rooms are put on the sunny side; bedrooms where it suits the climate.

  • Windows sized for heat

    Glass is weighed against summer sun on each wall.

  • A report

    The plan’s report card says how it sits for sun, heat and wind.

Questions people ask

Where does the climate come from?

From a year of daily weather for the pinned place, from the open Open-Meteo service.

Do I have to set a site?

No. Without one the plan is laid out as usual; the site only adds its own reasons.
