Zawia.AI is an architectural design platform provided by CONIX.AI, a pioneer in AI-powered architectural design. It is a platform tailored for landowners, offering a unique experience to design your villa from the comfort of your home in an easy and fast manner. With quality that rivals top architectural firms and at a lower cost.

CONIX.AI is a global leader in artificial intelligence founded in 2017. It aims to provide innovative solutions in architectural design and electronic project reviews. CONIX.AI is the technical partner of several leading real estate companies and government entities in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the Middle East.

The secret lies in Zawia.AI's use of artificial intelligence technology to generate hundreds of unique architectural designs tailored to each project. These designs are generated based on the location and dimensions of the plot, as well as the specific needs of each family.
