Representative plugin programmes
Our Grasshopper plugin work spans structural analysis, cloud configurators, healthcare planning, thermal bridging, BIM façade authoring, visual scripting R&D, and mobile AR streaming - each with different SDK surfaces and release constraints.
Karamba3D for GH2 - Built during Grasshopper 2 alpha without official SDK documentation. A single computational core powers distinct GH1 and GH2 deliverables via wrappers, DataTree harmonization, and compile-time platform switching.
VolcanoSnail (THERM automation) - Internal HKS LINE plugin that batch-generates THERM models, runs headless solves, and returns results to Rhino when Lawrence Berkeley's desktop tool offers no supported API.
Healthcare planning automation - Grasshopper tool that generates and scores ICU/OPD/consult layouts under encoded clinical rules - layout optimization at schematic pace, not manual redraws.
Rhino–Revit façade pipeline - Custom Rhino.Inside.Revit integration that instantiates procedural curtain-wall families from Grasshopper with BIM-grade parameters and metadata.
Project Shark - Grasshopper plugin plus Android app that compresses and streams live parametric geometry to 1:1 mobile AR for design review without leaving the canvas.
Verse3 - Open-source event-driven visual scripting platform (C#/WPF) with Rhino interoperability - research published at CAADRIA 2023 exploring alternatives to dataflow-only graphs.
When to talk to us
You need a commercial Grasshopper plugin, a GH2 port of an existing GH1 product, an integration between Rhino and another AEC system, or a wrapper around analysis software that was never meant to be automated. If the work sits at the intersection of computational design and serious software engineering, we should talk.
What clients get
- Production discipline - Versioning, signing, error surfaces, and support paths appropriate for paying users and enterprise IT.
- Host-platform fluency - GH1, GH2, Rhino.Inside.Revit, and ShapeDiver execution models understood as first-class constraints.
- Honest feasibility - We scope what SDKs and unsupported tools can sustain before promising a release date.
- Same team end-to-end - Architecture, implementation, QA, and customer-facing documentation from one studio.
