About us
We are on a mission to help design better cities. According to the UN (United Nations), more than 90% of future population growth will happen in cities. In addition, the construction industry is responsible for 40% of global CO2 emissions. To respond to this trend and combat climate change the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry needs to change the way they work. Our tool represents a new generation of software tools enabling this change.

We are building software to help architects, urban planners, and real estate developers find the smartest and most sustainable ways to unlock the potential of their projects. We focus on enabling outcome-based design through assessing living quality (sun, daylight, noise, e.al), environmental impact (embodied and operational carbon), and profitability of our users' projects.
Our journey started as the Norwegian start-up Spacemaker. We were acquired by Autodesk in 2020, and together we are building the next generation cloud-based, connected platform for the AEC industry. This is an inspiring journey you do not want to miss!
