Advancing Open Standards and Interoperability in AEC.
Pharos Kitchen Design (PKD) is a performance-first, metadata-driven ecosystem designed to empower the Independent Kitchen Designer (IKD). It eliminates "BIM Bloat" by replacing heavy, static Revit families with procedurally generated, sub-1MB proxies through a high-rigor Bridged Interoperability layer.
PKD is built on a high-performance foundation designed to exceed the McMaster-Carr benchmark for low-latency web interactions:
- Tauri + Rust: Native Windows/macOS/Linux performance with a <5MB binary footprint.
- Astro + WASM: Zero-JS "Island Architecture" with real-time procedural geometry generation.
- Metadata-First Truth: 100% deterministic MEP connection points (Volts, GPM, BTU).
- Interface Normalization: A legally defensive, forensic bridge for 100% schedule parity with legacy systems.
- IKD Empowerment: Eliminating search-and-click "toil" via a Command-First UX (Cmd+K).
- The 50KB Bloat Rule: Individual equipment metadata must remain ultra-lean.
- Global Parity: Native support for en-US and es-MX with real-time unit switching.
- Shift-Left Security: Vulnerability identification integrated into the research phase.
The project follows a high-rigor documentation standard. All architectural and strategic decisions are captured as immutable records:
- Decision Log (Index)
- Architecture ADRs (Historical Context)
- System Visualizations (Mermaid Diagrams)
