How Rayon helps Adrien Dupuy create architectural drawings x3 faster
Perspective from a 3 people design team
Challenge
Adrien Dupuy is an interior and product designer, founder of Plato, an office furniture company, and his interior design studio. Managing multiple businesses, time management, and optimizing efficiency is Adrien's biggest challenge.
His most time-consuming task is creating comprehensive architectural drawing sets, which he used to use multiple software for in a fragmented workflow that included purchasing multiple software licenses.
Solution
Adrien discovered Rayon, which enabled him to create architectural drawings faster thanks to its intuitive nature, comprehensive built-in block library, and easy exporting abilities. Rayon also allowed him to produce stylized and aesthetically pleasing drawings, all within a single tool.
This streamlined his workflow and saved on costs, as Rayon's license was priced more competitively than the software he had been using before.
Outcome
By using Rayon, Adrien Dupuy Studio reduced its software costs by 70%! Additionally, creating architectural drawing sets and completing projects is now X3 faster. The drawing experience has become more agile, with richer outcomes and more comprehensive documents delivered at a higher level of execution.
“Rayon has significantly improved my productivity and reduced the time spent on drawings. Before, I used a combination of AutoCAD, Rhino, and InDesign. Now I can do almost everything (besides 3D) in one software.”
The story behind Adrien Dupuy studio
Adrien Dupuy is an interior and product designer and the founder of Plato, an office furniture company, and Adrien Dupuy Studio, both based in Paris. The studio specializes in creating office spaces for startups, as well as designing apartments, restaurants, and other diverse projects. Currently, they are developing an innovative, sleek design concept for a medical clinic chain. Dupuy’s three key objectives are to design functional, aesthetic, and sustainable spaces that stand the test of time.
Adrien Dupuy Studio’s need for optimization
With a passion for design and a strong entrepreneurial spirit, Adrien manages multiple businesses, which presents a significant challenge in terms of time management and efficiency. One of the studio's most time-consuming tasks is creating professional architectural drawing sets—such as floor plans, sections, elevations, design details, millwork shop drawings, and more.
Using legacy software like AutoCAD, Rhino, and InDesign, Adrien’s studio faced a fragmented workflow and bottlenecks that limited their capacity to take on additional projects. The increasing cost of multiple software licenses added a substantial financial burden. Balancing these demands while maintaining high standards of work became a constant challenge for Adrien, who was determined to streamline processes and optimize his workflow to save both time and resources.
How Adrien Dupuy Studio uses Rayon to speed up their design process
Enter Rayon. Adrian says, “Exporting PDF architectural drawings from Rayon was my first crush on the tool, and since then, I discovered so many more features that I use on a daily basis to speed up my workflow”. Amongst these features are Rayon’s block library, a built-in block repository with thousands of blocks ready to be dragged and dropped onto floor plans like furniture in top, front and side views (for floor plans, sections and elevations), and symbols and legends for technical drawings. Another major feature is the styling tool, enabling 2D rendering of drawings on the go to edit their line wights, textures, colors, fonts, and more.
Other than the drawing, editing and exporting tools, the fact Rayon is a web-based tool made the implementation of it fast and easy; with no need for a robust machine, Rayon can be utilized from a browser on any laptop and accessed from anywhere.
