Read the space first. Build only as a last resort.
SPACES is the built-environment studio inside LIVOLVE. We design and assess buildings on what the body and the site actually need — daylight, air, water, energy, materials — measured before it is styled. Start with the free read of your own space, then use the studio's working instruments.

Working tools, not a brochure.
Each instrument runs in your browser and is grounded in published Indian building-science references — CBRI climate zones, IMD rainfall, ECBC energy benchmarks, CPHEEO water norms. Outputs are planning estimates, not guarantees; every result ends in a written breakdown you can request by email.
SPACES Read
The free, do-it-yourself read of any space — room by room, against the five-element Lens and the reduce-first Ladder. It names the method and shows you what to change before you ever rebuild.
Read your space →The top of the studio. Everything else — the calculators, the systemic work, the build — climbs out of what the Read tells you.
Building-science calculators
Passive cooling potential, rainwater harvesting yield, and energy-efficiency savings — three evidence-based calculators with their sources shown.
Open the calculators → Instrument 02 LiveSociety water-resilience
A water-balance plan for an apartment society or campus — reduce, reuse and recharge held against real demand and rainfall before anything new is built. Proposal-quoted, from ₹50,000.
See the water plan →Spatial 3D viewer
Walk a concept in three dimensions — orientation, massing, daylight and negative space read as material before anything is built.

Scope the work yourself — building type, stage and intent — and get a structured brief back, with a clear scope.

Selected projects read as a gallery — plan, section, performance — the studio's record rather than its promises.
Next in the studio queueHome & Terrace Complete
All three room packs and the zero-waste terrace, planned as one system — so the air, light, water and waste loops indoors and out work together, not as four rooms that ignore each other. The most complete starting point for a regenerative home.
A Lens to judge it. A Ladder to change it.
Every SPACES engagement runs on two things: the five building-science lenses we judge a space by, and the order in which we are allowed to change it. Each has a number behind it — not a mood board.
The Lens Five elements, measured before styled.
A space is judged on how it performs for the people inside it — held to five lenses, each with evidence behind it.
The Ladder Reduce first. Rebuild last.
Most building problems are solved by working with what is already there. SPACES climbs the ladder in order — each rung exhausted before the next is considered. New construction is the last rung, not the first.
Read first, then bring us in.
Read your space for free, run the instruments, then send the brief they produce — we respond with a structured assessment and a clear scope. Systemic engagements, like society water-resilience, are productised and proposal-quoted, delivered as documents and models.
