Introducing Archi Bubble: Intuitive Bubble Diagram Tool

Simplify Your Early-Stage Design with Archi Bubble

In the initial phases of architectural or interior design, visualizing spatial relationships is crucial. How should the kitchen relate to the dining room? Does the master bedroom need direct access to the study? These conceptual connections form the backbone of a functional design. Traditionally, architects sketch these relationships using bubble diagrams.

While simple sketches are great, wouldn't it be better to have an interactive, easily modifiable, and shareable digital version?

That's where Archi Bubble comes in.

What is Archi Bubble?

Archi Bubble is a free, web-based tool designed specifically for creating architectural bubble diagrams quickly and intuitively. Whether you're an architect, interior designer, planner, or student, Archi Bubble helps you map out spaces, adjacencies, and workflows visually before diving into complex floor plans.

Key Features for a Smoother Workflow:

We built Archi Bubble with a focus on simplicity and essential features:

  • Effortless Creation: Simply double-click anywhere on the canvas to add a new space (bubble). Give it a name and an area, and you're started.
  • Intuitive Connections: Drag between bubbles to create connections. Use simple modifier keys (like Shift, Alt, Ctrl) to define different relationship types (e.g., strong adjacency, weak adjacency, non-adjacency).
  • Visual Customization: Tailor the look! Adjust bubble colors, global fonts, text sizes, stroke colors, and connection styles to create clear and professional diagrams.
  • Built-in Adjacency Matrix: Instantly visualize the relationships you've created in a clear adjacency matrix view. Switch between the diagram and the matrix with a single click.
  • Zoom & Pan: Navigate large diagrams easily with intuitive zoom (scroll wheel) and pan (click & drag background) controls.
  • Export Options: Save your work by exporting your diagrams as high-quality PNG or SVG files, ready for presentations or further refinement.
  • Local Data Storage: Your diagrams are automatically saved in your browser's local storage, so your work persists between sessions. No account needed, no server uploads.
