Company profile
researched Aug 2026Maket is a Montréal-based company that develops a generative AI platform for residential architectural design. Its residential plan generator produces floor plans from user-stated needs and constraints, and users can edit layouts, visualize spaces in 3D, and customize furniture and finishes. A virtual designer feature applies AI to images so clients can compare different interior and exterior aesthetics. The company positions the product as an alternative to computer-aided design software, which requires training to operate, with the aim of accelerating the early planning stage so plans can be iterated and approved by clients more quickly.
The platform embeds design guidance in its algorithms and provides recommendations through the design workflow. Announced capabilities include rapid floor plan generation, AI-assisted style exploration, and a regulatory assistant intended to help with zoning code compliance. Maket has said it is building toward an end-to-end platform for builders and architecture professionals, with planned additions covering zoning code verification, HVAC planning, and material takeoffs for construction.
Founding story
The company was started by Patrick Murphy, Stéphane Turbide, and Simon Vallée with the stated aim of making architectural design faster and more affordable for both professionals and non-professionals. Vallée is a three-time founder who exited previous startups to Groupon, Figma, and Slack, where he worked as a senior product manager.
Business model
Maket sells software subscriptions in two tiers: a consumer plan for homeowners at roughly $30 per month, and an enterprise plan at about $1,200 per month for builders, prefabrication manufacturers, and developers, which allows them to integrate their own floor plan libraries and workflows into the platform.
Recurring subscription fees from individual and enterprise users.
Traction
The company reported more than one million registered users and a team of about 14 employees as of October 2025, having officially launched its platform in 2023.
Latest developments
In October 2025 Maket announced a CAD $3.4 million seed round led by Amiral Ventures with participation from Blitzscaling Ventures, BY Venture Partners, Hidden Layers, and Spatial Capital. The company said it was preparing Maket 2.0 for the first quarter of 2026, adding a new floor plan generator with greater fine-tuning flexibility and visual renders, and professional tools for zoning code verification, HVAC planning, and material takeoffs.

Market position
Maket competes with architectural design tools including ARCHITECTUREs, ArkDesign AI, Archistar, TestFit, and Cove.tool, positioning itself on an integrated, low-training-requirement workflow rather than manual input across separate tools. It has been described in press coverage as a "ChatGPT for architecture."
Maket presents its platform as usable without professional design training, combining floor plan generation, layout editing, 3D visualization and finish customization in a single integrated product rather than across separate tools requiring manual input.
Technology
Generative AI algorithms that encode architectural design expertise to create customized floor plans from user inputs, support layout editing and 3D visualization, apply AI image augmentation for interior and exterior aesthetic exploration, and provide design recommendations. A regulatory assistant for zoning code compliance was described as forthcoming, alongside planned HVAC planning and material takeoff tools.
Go-to-market
Self-serve subscription access for individual users alongside higher-priced enterprise plans that integrate customers' own plan libraries and workflows for builders, prefab manufacturers, and developers.
Homeowners and non-professional designers, architects, builders, prefabrication manufacturers, and real estate developers.
