Rayon Design Catalog

“Space design” describes, in broad strokes, the conception and remodeling of the buildings surrounding us every day. This activity gathers countless individuals — architects, space planners, facility managers, brokers, engineers, etc.— working together to shape our cities’ brick and mortar lifecycle, from inception, to operation, to repurposing.
We believe space design is undergoing a pivotal moment, that can be condensed to a simple statement: ordinary buildings matter.

For a while, technology and focus have primarily been placed on a small fringe of exceptional constructions (museums, stadiums, skyscrapers, large-scale infrastructures, etc.).

In the meantime, ordinary architecture (housing, retail, office spaces, etc.) — which constitutes “the remaining 90%” of our cities — has not received the attention it deserves.

At Rayon, we believe a new class of space design tools is needed to support this sunken part of the iceberg. Our mission is to democratize space design so as to better address the 90%.
