Selected work / Traza
Independent product / AI-assisted development · version 0.38, October 2026

One place.
A whole chain of decisions.

Choosing a layout also changes what must be built and funded. Traza is a working planning application: draw a site boundary, shape streets and plots, place and edit buildings, and follow every design choice into quantities, cost, cash flow and a brief. Two films below show it working; the saved examples let you compare four planning alternatives yourself.

TRAZA / 46-SECOND SHOWCASE

See the possibility.
Follow the decisions.

46 seconds · silent · real product views, fictional study. Made for sound-off viewing.

Read the film outline

Start with a land boundary, shape streets and plots, inspect an asset, test assumptions, compare development cases, and follow results back to quantities and method.

TRAZA / A WORKING SESSION · 74 SECONDS

One connected
neighbourhood.

Recorded 4 October 2026 from a candidate build, captions on · fictional study of 15 buildings and 32 drawn homes. Move a plot corner, reposition a villa, make a reusable four-bedroom type and apply it to two placements, adopt a measured commercial area, follow one home into cash, test a construction-cost scenario, and issue a brief from the accepted case. Geometry, types, cash and brief stay connected throughout.

What this recording is, and is not

It is a screen recording of the real application on a synthetic site, verified frame by frame against the saved project after each step. It is not a market study: unit prices, build rates and collection profiles are disclosed assumptions, and the brief says so.

WHAT TRAZA IS TODAY

Three surfaces.
One engine.

Version 0.38 shipped in October 2026 after a month of AI-assisted development with every release checked for confidential material before it leaves the build.

01 / The product page

Public.

What Traza does, a plot book and a boardroom view on a fictional study, and the 46-second showcase. Open to anyone.

02 / The Studio

Shape a site in the browser.

Boundary, roads, plots, buildings and a villa editor down to the room. Saves in the browser; nothing is uploaded.

03 / The Workspace

Keep the project.

Saved scenarios, comparisons and briefs for an account. Access is by invitation while the product matures.

What is being designed next

A Delivery module: programme, cost and earned value, procurement, permits and gates, sales and funding, change and risk, all driven by the engine's own monthly cash flow so that a slipped phase moves every chart. Mocked up in October 2026 with figures that reconcile to the engine to the riyal; a hotel asset class is scoped but not built.

THE QUESTION

A more attractive plan may also need more construction and funding. Separate drawings and spreadsheets make that trade-off hard to follow.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPLORE

Compare four saved alternatives on the same synthetic site. Follow the homes, construction quantities, costs and cashflow back to the assumptions.

WHAT YOU CAN USE

Leave with a better question for the next review: which design choice changes the result, and which assumption needs real-world validation?

How it works · for a closer look

The saved examples on this portfolio are retained Traza calculation snapshots, not a live editing engine. Each result has a model revision and disclosed assumptions. Concept buildings, market inputs and authority requirements need validation before a real project decision.

FOLLOW THE DECISION

Compare the alternatives.
Follow the assumptions.

Review four alternatives on the same synthetic boundary, see what changes, and inspect the assumptions behind the saved results.

ONE PROJECT / ONE ENGINE

Place. Possibility. Purpose.

The published scenario carries source road context, illustrative proposed buildings, community works and financial assumptions together. Every figure below comes from the retained Traza calculation snapshot.

Concept massing from the selected model. Community sites reserved; facility buildings not designed. Building heights use disclosed concept assumptions.

© OpenStreetMap contributors · ODbL. Street geometry adapts the Diplomatic Quarter precedent to a synthetic boundary. Buildings and new local streets are concept proposals, not an inventory of the existing district. Land cost assumes acquisition of the whole study boundary. Partial plot coverage does not establish development capacity.

The picture and numbers share a source.

These figures describe a dated, illustrative scenario, not an investment valuation. Traza is the only editing and calculation application; changes there do not silently replace this published evidence.

THE TAKEAWAY

A useful model lets you follow a decision back to the drawing and its assumptions.
