Higharc

Higharc is a software company founded in 2018 that works on how homes are designed, sold, and built. Its platform replaces static home plans with intelligent, generative digital models, applying generative design, 3D modeling, design automation and building information modeling to the homebuilding sector. The company serves residential construction and housing design and sales, and describes its aim as transforming an industry that has changed little in a century.

The Higharc generative home design platform produces digital models intended to be used across home design, sales and construction, rather than in a single stage of the process. The company's technical work spans design automation and 3D modelling, and it iterates on its products through testing and continuous critique, with an emphasis on craft and on delivering solutions it considers best in market.

Higharc has been remote-first since its founding, operating as a distributed team. It prioritises uninterrupted focus time over meetings, describes kindness as an operating principle, and approaches interactions with good intentions. The team is characterised as eclectic and diverse in viewpoints and backgrounds, with members who have previously led design automation at Autodesk, launched 3D printing companies, shipped AAA games and held product roles at major homebuilders.
