Spazio is a Revit workflow tool designed to eliminate one of the most repetitive tasks in architectural practice: rebuilding room layouts that have already been designed, coordinated, and documented in other projects. Instead of manually recreating common room types—such as hotel guestrooms, hospital wards, apartment units, or other repeatable spatial modules—Spazio allows teams to capture the layout once and reuse it across future projects.
Core Purpose
In many architectural and BIM workflows, recurring room types require significant duplicated effort. Designers and modelers often need to redraw boundaries, reposition furniture, reload or re-specify families, and place fixtures and equipment from scratch even when the layout has already been resolved elsewhere. Spazio addresses this inefficiency by turning a completed room layout into a portable package that can be stored, shared, filtered, previewed, and placed in another Revit model.
Extract and Export Workflow
The workflow begins inside a Revit model containing placed rooms. With the Extract & Export command, Spazio scans the model and identifies each room along with the related layout information. It collects furniture, lighting fixtures, electrical equipment, plumbing fixtures, mechanical equipment, and boundary walls associated with the selected rooms. The extraction window presents the available rooms with their areas and element counts, helping users decide which layouts are worth packaging.
After selecting the desired rooms and assigning a filename, Spazio exports each room as a standalone .spazio file. These files use a plain JSON format, making them portable, readable, shareable, and suitable for archiving or version control. This approach allows firms to build reusable room libraries without locking the information into a single Revit project.
