WELLBEING BY DESIGN

A simple framework guides how we design environments that support people in everyday life.

Our framework draws from both practical experience and published research exploring the relationship between people, wellbeing and the built environment.

Light & Orientation

​Natural light shapes comfort, rhythm and the experience of space throughout the day.

Connection & Reteat

​Creating spaces that balance interaction, privacy and quiet reflection.

Movement & Flow

​Designing intuitive layouts that support ease of movement and everyday experience.

Air & Ventilation

Fresh air and natural ventilation contribute to healthier and more comfortable environments.

Sensory Balance

​Using materiality, acoustics and texture to create calm and grounded environments.

Adaptibility

Creating flexible environments that respond to changing needs and ways of living.
