Kimia Benam, Founding Director of KB Architects is normally recognised for her impactful work in the healthcare sector, leading a team dedicated to designing spaces that serve both the practical and the emotional needs of their users. From hospitals, and bespoke clinics, to automated laboratory facilities, her innovative design approach has earned her numerous awards and recognition in healthcare design.
Recently, Kimia embarked on an exciting new venture with the launch of SPX Hub, a ground-breaking software platform that aims to simplify the specification process for suppliers and specifiers in the architecture and construction industries. What sets SPX Hub apart is its "tech-driven, human approach," which directly addresses common challenges like communication gaps and inefficiencies.
With this tool, users can navigate the complexities of material selection and missing project specifications. You may have seen the signature "green app" building traction on numerous social media platforms and events.
SPX Hub not only reduces the likelihood of human error but also promotes a more integrated approach to project development
Another unique approach of this application is the wide range of audience this app can support, including; Architects; Interior Designers; Surveyors; Developers and Design & Build Contractors.
They all gain access to leading supply chains available in the market with the ability to grow their individual bespoke libraries to maintain quality consistently through all projects.
SPX Hub not only reduces the likelihood of human error but also promotes a more integrated approach to project development. Users can create tailored product schedules complete with detailed information that can be exported as PDFs for all stages of a project.
By fostering collaboration and enhancing communication, SPX Hub is on a mission to transform the specification process, ultimately leading to better-designed environments that truly meet the needs of users
As this emerging solution continues to evolve, Kimia’s dedicated team is already hard at work on exciting enhancements that will further elevate the platform through AI and more.
The SPX Hub Team regularly host events to engage with industry leaders and the broader community. They are currently preparing for this round of discussion panel, focusing on "Lighting design: Key principles," featuring some of the most prominent names in the field.
By fostering collaboration and enhancing communication, SPX Hub is on a mission to transform the specification process, ultimately leading to better-designed environments that truly meet the needs of users. We are excited for Kimia and her team to see where this platform goes, and how it will transform the specification industry in Architecture and beyond.
