The advancement in the computer technology has led to the development of many computing devices and software which are helpful to the society. One such technology is ambient intelligence.This paper describes the general purpose multi agent layered architecture of ambient intelligence. It is known as the HI3 architecture. It is built by considering the criteria such as scalability, modularity, fault tolerance etc. Ambient intelligence is one of the most important advancements in information technology. Ambient intelligence is an approach in which there is an easy interaction between the people and the surroundings to enrich their lives. The idea can be applied in many sectors like the public transport, factories, military, hospitals and other environments. Ambient intelligence pattern builds upon ubiquitous computing where the computing is made to appear everywhere. The paper is organised as follows: The general ambient intelligence architecture followed by the HI3 architecture.
