Case Study: Mule Studio streamlines timber design and fabrication with Speckle

Mule Studio streamlines timber design with Speckle for a 4-stage fabrication model

Mule Studio, a multi-disciplinary design studio, faced significant challenges in managing the complex 3D modeling and geometry optimization for a unique timber restaurant structure. Their key hurdles included managing intricate models, ensuring seamless data transfer and version control across platforms, and collaborating with partners less experienced with digital tools. To address this, they turned to the vendor Speckle to enhance their workflow.

Speckle provided a solution by integrating with Grasshopper and Rhino, allowing Mule Studio to adopt an object-based approach to version control and data management. This enabled them to break down large models into manageable parts, tweak components without affecting the entire model, and revert to previous states with confidence. The result was a streamlined workflow that produced a fully detailed fabrication model, contributing to the restaurant being named one of the world's most beautiful. Speckle's tools have since shaped a culture of innovation and efficiency at the studio.
