Who we are

Ran Heimann

Managing Director

I have spent over two decades at the intersection of technology, entrepreneurship, and product design. As a long-time software founder and executive, my focus has always been on taking complex, powerful systems and turning them into seamless, intuitive experiences that simplify everyday life.

That philosophy is the foundation of Thinking Spaces. Too often, “smart home” technology ends up feeling like a fragmented collection of disjointed apps, unreliable hubs, and unnecessary complexity. Thinking Spaces was born from a desire to do things properly: designing whole-home environments where lighting, climate, security, and entertainment work together invisibly in the background.

Drawing on deep technical expertise across local networking, modern automation platforms, and robust hardware protocols, I focus on building systems that are elegant, private, and dependable. Whether creating responsive living areas or optimizing dedicated work environments, the goal is always the same—crafting intelligent spaces that naturally adapt to the way you live, without demanding your attention.

Our Story

Smart homes should feel invisible, intuitive, and effortlessly responsive.

Thinking Spaces was born from a simple observation: smart home technology promised effortless living, but delivered fragmented apps, fragile cloud dependencies, and rigid systems that require a technician visit just to change a lighting scene. Coming from over a decade of building, scaling, and leading global SaaS and digital product platforms, we saw a different path — open, resilient architecture paired with natural human interaction. We bring professional-grade design, installation, and setup to homeowners who want an elevated living space without sacrificing privacy, control, or reliability.

How We Think Differently

We build smart spaces around three non-negotiables: local-first reliability, conversational intelligence, and open architecture with zero lock-in.

Designed for home sovereignty

Your home should work reliably every second of the day — whether or not the internet is active. Our local-first processing runs inside your walls, not on a distant cloud server, for instant response times, rock-solid reliability, and complete data privacy. Conversational AI then lets you interact naturally with lighting, climate, energy, and security, while open standards such as Matter, Thread, and Zigbee keep your system free to adapt, expand, and upgrade whenever you choose.

Our Mission

We create spaces that think with you

By merging intelligent design, local-first engineering, and natural AI interfaces, Thinking Spaces transforms houses into modern, ambient living environments — delivering warmth, effortlessness, and quiet confidence every time you walk through the door.
