Sunlitt for Architecture

Design with sunlight.

Plan light, shade, and solar behavior — right from the first sketch.

Natural light isn’t just aesthetic — it shapes how spaces feel, function, and evolve over time.

From orientation to shading, solar exposure is at the core of thoughtful architecture. Sunlitt helps you anticipate light, plan around it, and design with it from the earliest sketches to the final presentation.

Whether you’re mapping out a single-family home or developing an urban block, understanding solar behavior early on leads to better decisions later. Sunlitt brings those insights right into your process.

Every project is different, but sunlight is always a variable.

Whether you’re designing for comfort, sustainability, or regulation, Sunlitt gives you tools to understand how light interacts with your design — not just on paper, but on-site.

Let’s walk through how Sunlitt works for architects and studios, and where it can make a difference.

Planning

Understand sun angles early

Plan orientation, shading, and openings

Check daylight access by season

Support climate-conscious design decisions

Workflow

Augmented Reality for quick site checks

Preview any location remotely

Share visuals with clients and teams

Speed up early design decisions

See the sun’s path in 3D

Get a real sense of time, light, and elevation as you visualize the sun’s movement in 3D over standard maps, satellite imagery, terrain, dynamic shadow maps, and a smooth gradient that mimics the sky. It’s a complete, intuitive overview of how sunlight behaves and how it shapes your site.

Visualize the Sun’s Path in Augmented Reality

Sometimes sketches and diagrams fall short. With Sunlitt’s AR mode, you can use your iPhone or iPad to see the sun’s path projected directly onto your site. Walk the space and watch how light moves through it minute by minute, season by season. It’s an intuitive way to study solar exposure, support zoning discussions, or make your vision clearer during client walkthroughs.

Analyze sites remotely, even before you visit

No need to scout in person every time. Drop a pin anywhere on the map, and Sunlitt shows you how light and shadow will move across that exact location. Preview solar angles, elevation, shadow lengths and much more for any date and time. It's a reliable way to evaluate lots or validate assumptions before stepping on site.

Measure Real Shadow Lengths and Orientations

Sunlight changes constantly, and so do shadows. Sunlitt shows you how they’ll fall across your site, helping you refine rooflines, arcades, or public spaces. Whether you're checking if a bench stays shaded or how long a facade is exposed, you can test scenarios and plan confidently — no guesswork, no surprises.

Works Offline in Remote Sites

Many construction sites and plots don’t have reliable signal. With full offline support, Sunlitt stays fully functional wherever you are. Using GPS, it provides sun paths, angles, and shadow behavior even without internet—so you’re always equipped, even on remote locations.
