Welcome to
Space Elevator

Space Elevator is a free virtual reality design tool that allows you to step into the role of an architect. This innovative application simplifies and adds an element of fun to creating and editing spatial environments. Unlike conventional CAD software, Space Elevator places emphasis on the experiential aspects of space design.

Operating at real scale within an embodied environment, every architectural element becomes a true-to-size, interactive three-dimensional component. This approach allows you to delve into a design process centered around the feel of a space. Experiment with the impact of ceiling height on a room’s ambiance, explore how color influences the perception of space, or step beyond conventional architecture and create spaces that feel truly otherworldly.

Use Space Elevator to bring your dream house to life or delve into the narrative-driven architectural puzzles we’ve crafted for you. Join our community to showcase your designs, exchange Space Elevator files, and connect with fellow enthusiasts.
