Founded in 2015, EvolveLAB was the first to integrate generative AI technology into architectural modeling software, demonstrating the massive potential of mixing imaginative prompts with 3D geometry. Through its flagship software Veras, EvolveLAB connected this capability to leading BIM products like SketchUp, Revit, Vectorworks and others, before expanding into smart documentation and generative design. Today, customers like Cuningham, Störmer Murphy and Partners, H2I, LS3P and TVS Design use these tools to great effect, cutting costs and delays across the design process.

The EvolveLAB toolset is the latest addition to the Chaos ecosystem, the AEC industry’s only end-to-end hub for design and visualization. Designed to streamline workflows, this environment seamlessly connects concept ideation, real-time visualization, photorealistic rendering, generative design and automated AI documentation — eliminating the need for multiple disconnected tools. With this ecosystem users can apply the right technology at each design stage, solving problems quickly and efficiently. The EvolveLAB tools now join powerful technology like Enscape, Envision, Corona, V-Ray and Vantage, extending Chaos’ growing AI offerings.

“With EvolveLAB now part of Chaos, the company solidifies its position as the go-to platform for architects, designers and VFX artists looking to seamlessly transform imagination into reality,” said Stephan Sieber, chief executive officer at Chaos. “EvolveLAB’s tools have already been embraced by the community for their thoughtful designs and ability to streamline cumbersome processes. Together, we’ll continue to develop these tools, creating even better ways to ideate, enhance and generate custom designs.”

“Chaos is known throughout this industry as a designer-centric company, which is a must for anyone we work with,” said Bill Allen, CEO of EvolveLAB. “By joining forces, we can fast track our AI developments, while adding an important new component to Chaos’ immersive design hub, which will help designers do even more in one place.”

Even before the acquisition, designers relied on the combination of EvolveLAB and Chaos tools, using Veras and Enscape to accelerate both design and reviews. In the schematic design phase, this means rapidly generating ideas in Veras before committing the design to BIM where Enscape’s real-time visualization capabilities pushes the project even further. During client reviews, Enscape visuals are then quickly enhanced or stylized using Veras’ AI generation tools, creating the perfect presentation content.

“Over a year ago, we began exploring AI tools to speed up our workflows and were excited to discover Veras, a solution specifically designed for AEC that seamlessly integrates with host platforms,” said Hanns-Jochen Weyland of Störmer Murphy and Partners, an award-winning architectural practice based in Hamburg, Germany. “Veras is now our go-to for initial ideation before transitioning to renderings in Enscape. This powerful combination accelerates concept development and ensures reliable outcomes.”

“At Cuningham, we integrate EvolveLAB’s Veras and Glyph alongside Chaos’ Enscape to enhance our design process,” said Joseph Bertucci, senior project design technologist of Cuningham, an integrated design firm with offices across the United States. “Using both Enscape and Veras allows us to visualize, iterate and explore design concepts in real-time while leveraging AI-driven enhancements for rapid refinement. Meanwhile, Glyph has been a game-changer for auto-documentation, enabling us to efficiently generate views and drawing sets, saving valuable time in project setup. These tools collectively streamline our workflows, boosting efficiency, precision and creativity.”

Chaos and the EvolveLAB teams are exploring ways to integrate their products and accelerate their AI roadmaps. EvolveLAB products will remain available to customers. The EvolveLAB team will join Chaos, with Allen serving as director of product management and EvolveLAB chief technology officer Ben Guler as Director of Software Development.
