All great architecture starts with a line.
Spaces by Cerulean Labs is a sketch-based conceptual design tool for architects and architectural designers.
The app is reinventing conceptual design for architects with iPad and Pencil. It was designed to allow architects the freedom and speed of sketching, while the application creates a rich building model.
Combining sketching with computational design and space planning, Spaces provides a fast, fluid, and flexible approach to iterate building concepts, test options, and refine your designs.
In most cases, architects are paid for the construction documentation, not for the early design sketches. However, this is the time when creativity gets unleashed, and architects would like to evaluate all their ideas, and all the design options. So, they need to do this as quickly and efficiently as possible. Doing this in a fully-fledged BIM authoring tool is cumbersome, as those tools require too many upfront decisions and time investment to come up with even a simple model.
So, Spaces strips the process back to the essential functions, and allows building models evolve through design sketches. It is as simple as sketching on a piece of paper. Users can pick up Spaces and produce something tangible within minutes.
Bring your notebook and pencil into the 21st century without losing the speed of sketching. Create, iterate and optimise building concepts quickly and easily with sketch-based design or design using a data-driven approach to maximise usage and optimise your project.
With accurate building data at your fingertips, make informed design decisions every step of the way. Charts update immediately with every change giving you real-time data as you create, edit and assign metadata.
