Spacio is an AI-powered building design software for architects that enables real-time building code validation, automatic drawing generation, and instant analytics for feasibility studies. It streamlines the early-phase design process with features like unit mix optimization, daylight simulations, and BIM export capabilities.

How does Spacio help with building code compliance?

Spacio identifies code violations in real-time as you design and automatically positions elements to ensure compliance. It checks building codes as you work, eliminating the need for manual reviews and reducing compliance risks.

Can Spacio export to other software?

Yes, Spacio offers strong interoperability with industry-standard software including Rhino, IFC, DXF, OBJ, and Excel. You can export BIM models and generate presentation-ready permit drawings in minutes.

Spacio is trusted by leading architecture firms including Snøhetta, Oslo Works, Norconsult, and HLM Architects. It is designed by architects for architects working on feasibility studies and early-phase building design.

What is the problem?

Why architects are frustrated with current tools

Architects face relentless pressure with tight deadlines, complex regulations, and limited feedback. Traditional design processes are slow, manual, and prone to human error—leaving you vulnerable to costly mistakes. Spacio is the solution.

Do all units meet minimum daylight factors?

Do corridors meet accessibility width?

Are the fire escape routes compliant?

Are there enough parking stalls?

Do we meet the setback requirements?

Does the building height comply with zoning?

Let Spacio do the hard work

What if every design you created was automatically compliant?

Spacio is architectural design software for feasibility studies and early-stage residential projects. Design parametrically, explore options, and stay compliant with local codes in one platform—complete with real-time validation, automated permit drawings, and BIM-ready exports.

Start designing

Explore more options, faster

Cut concept development from weeks to hours. Create multiple design alternatives instantly with intelligent parametric tools, then evaluate them against real-time compliance feedback to find the best solution quickly.

Design with compliance

Beta

Stop worrying about setbacks, parking ratios, and floor area calculations. Spacio validates building codes and regulations as you design, flagging issues before they become expensive problems.

Focus on creativity, not calculations

Let Spacio handle the tedious work—area calculations, unit mixes, parking layouts, and code compliance—while you focus on creating architecture that wins projects.

Design that meets requirements

Built for how architects actually work

Spacio was built by architects who were tired of juggling multiple tools for early-phase projects. For 20 years, you've relied on CAD and BIM—powerful, but overkill for feasibility studies. We created the missing tool: purpose-built for the messy, exploratory early phase where projects are won or lost.

Why architects are switching to Spacio

For decades, architects have tolerated a painful truth: the tools we use weren't built for how we actually work. CAD is too manual. BIM is too detailed for early phases. Spreadsheets are error-prone. Grasshopper requires coding. Spacio is different. We built the first tool designed specifically for early-phase residential work—the critical phase where you need to move fast, explore options, and ensure compliance before investing in detailed design.

Reduce mistakes

Optimized for architects

Spacio fits perfectly into your existing workflow

Purpose-built for the early phases—from initial site analysis through building permit application. Use it for the exploratory phase, then export to your favorite tools for detailed design.
