SpaceSync – The Schematic Design Platform for Architects
Short description: SpaceSync is an all-in-one schematic design platform for architects, covering research, feasibility, area programming, massing, sustainability analysis, 3D modelling, AI rendering and client presentations in one shared workspace, with Revit and Rhino plugins.
What is SpaceSync?
The early stage of a project is where the biggest design decisions get made, and where most teams lose time. The brief sits in a PDF, the area program in Excel, the massing in SketchUp or Rhino, the sun study in another tool, the moodboard on Miro, and the client deck in PowerPoint. Every change means updating five files and hoping nothing slips through.
SpaceSync brings that entire workflow into one place, from the first client brief to the final presentation. Every number, sketch, comment and version stays connected to the design, so your team and your client are always looking at the same project.
Feasibility and research with AIRA Atlas
Every project starts with questions. What can be built on this site? What have others done with a similar brief? Which regulations apply? AIRA Atlas is SpaceSync’s built-in research and feasibility assistant. Search for anything related to your project, from site data, zoning and bylaws to precedents, typologies and design references, and turn what you find straight into design inputs. Run a quick feasibility study on a plot, check development potential, and move from research to massing without leaving the project.
Project context, set up for you
Start a project and SpaceSync does the groundwork. The AI pulls together site context and the local building bylaws that apply, so setbacks, FAR/FSI and height limits are in front of you from day one. Describe the project and it generates departments and spaces, then builds an adjacency matrix showing which spaces need to sit together and which should stay apart. Pin any of it to a moodboard alongside reference images, sketches and notes, so the research and the design story live in the same place.
Area programming that drives the design
Build your area program in a spreadsheet that’s linked live to the 3D model. Change a room size and the massing updates. Push the massing and the area schedule, efficiency ratios and FAR recalculate instantly. No more reconciling drawings against spreadsheets at 11pm before a client meeting.
Massing and sustainability analysis in SpaceDesign
Test design options on the actual site, with the data attached to every move. Run sun hours, shadow studies, solar energy and illuminance (daylight) analysis, then check wind and noise exposure before you commit to a direction. Compare options side by side with the numbers that matter, so feasibility decisions are based on evidence, not gut feel.
3D modelling in SpaceModule
Take the chosen scheme further: develop floor plates, facades and building form in a browser-based 3D modeller, with the program and analysis still connected underneath.
Rendering and presentations in SpaceShow
Turn your model into AI renders and walkthrough videos in minutes, then build the client presentation, reports and documentation without exporting a single file. When the design changes, the deck stays up to date.
Works with Revit and Rhino
SpaceSync connects to the tools your team already uses. With the Revit plugin and Rhino plugin, bring existing models into SpaceSync for analysis and presentation, or push your schematic design into Revit or Rhino when it’s time to develop the project further. No rebuilding the model from scratch at the hand-off to design development.
Built for collaboration with clients
Architects, interior designers, consultants and clients can all work in the same project. Anyone can drop a comment or sketch directly on the model, a plan, a sheet or a slide, right where the issue is. Full version control means every design option and revision is saved, so you can compare iterations, roll back, and show the client exactly what changed and why.
Who is SpaceSync for?
- Architecture and design studios (especially teams of 5 to 50) who want to win more competitions and pitches by moving faster at concept stage
- Real estate developers and in-house design teams running feasibility studies and testing site potential before acquisition
- Design-build firms and project management consultants (PMCs) who need clear, data-backed design options for clients
- Architecture students and universities, through a dedicated education plan
It works across project types: offices and workplaces, healthcare and complex institutional programs, hospitality and retail, residential and mixed-use.
Why teams switch to SpaceSync
- Research, feasibility, space planning, massing, sustainability, modelling, rendering and presentations in one platform
- Area program and 3D model stay in sync, both ways
- AI handles bylaws, space programming and adjacency analysis
- Revit and Rhino plugins for a smooth hand-off into design development
- Clients review, sketch and comment directly in the project
- Every version saved and traceable
- Runs in the browser, nothing to install
