DASHI CAPITAL PLANNING & IMPLEMENTATION

Developers and real estate owners approached Sasaki seeking a faster way to determine the feasibility of their conversion projects—a growing need since the rise of remote work during the pandemic. The traditional discovery process takes months and incurs significant costs in subconsultant fees to uncover possibilities. Sasaki’s solution was a proprietary algorithm capable of analyzing floor plans to generate thousands of unit layout solutions along with their financial metrics. As Sasaki’s designer, I created the user interface to streamline the process of uploading or tracing floor plans, defining custom financial and spatial parameters, and exploring layout options that meet the user’s optimal output range.
