Hansgrohe’s new online tool
Hansgrohe South Africa recently launched a web-based bathroom and kitchen design tool called iSpecify. This online specification tool allows architects and interior designers to plan, source and coordinate their projects with the Axor and Hansgrohe products ranges. The tool allows designers to create 3D visualisations of their bathroom or kitchen designs using Axor or Hangrohe products and to manage their projects by incorporating useful technical data.
Leadingarchitecture.co.za quotes Dr. Nicholas Matten, director of Global Project Business at Hansgrohe SE as saying: “The software, which has been in development for eight months, allows users to create complete projects, which lend themselves to modification as desired, and which can be viewed and worked on by the responsible Hansgrohe project consultant.”
The site has a reference section of international products for inspiration, and users can browse and select from an extensive online catalogue of Axor and Hansgrohe products. The fun comes in when you view a selection of existing bathroom and kitchen areas to find products and layouts you like. By clicking on a fixture in a design visualisation, the program immediately suggests a selection of suitable products to choose from. The programme also automatically connects the designer and its nearest Hansgrohe project consultant to allow for easy collaboration and coordination of projects. You have to register to use the full functionality of the site. But it does look like a very useful tool that will help us, as Architects, in choosing the right finishes for both commercial and residential architectural projects.
