Bubble Diagram Generator

The first move from a brief to a plan. List your spaces and their areas, tick which should sit together, and a force-directed layout arranges them into an adjacency bubble diagram — sized by area, coloured by zone. Drag to guide it, then export an SVG.

Bubbles are sized by area and coloured by zone; linked spaces pull together while all bubbles keep their distance — the classic first move from a brief to a plan. Drag any bubble to guide it, then export the SVG into your sketch.

How it works

List the program

Add each space with its area and zone — public, private, service or outdoor. Bubbles are sized by area and coloured by zone, so the balance of the brief is visible at a glance.

Set adjacencies

Tick, in the matrix, which spaces should sit next to each other — living to dining, bedroom to bath. Linked spaces attract; everything else keeps its distance.

Let it arrange, then guide it

A force-directed layout settles the diagram automatically. Drag any bubble to nudge the composition, then export a clean SVG straight into your concept sketch.
