Health and well-being

Dignified spaces for healthy living
We believe all spaces should be safe, healthy, inclusive and inspiring. Through close client collaboration, we prioritize the health and well-being of the people who use our spaces, considering their needs at every phase, from concept to realization – and beyond.
Our spaces are open, transparent, and connected to their surroundings. They give people a sense of place and belonging and establish community and connectivity. We create flexible, dignified spaces by empowering people with agency in their environments with features like operable windows.
We address aspects that affect a wide range of users — entry and exit sequences, intuitive orientation, clear sightlines, natural light and ventilation, thermal and acoustic comfort, interconnections between spaces, and texture and colour — to create accessible environments that deliver a pleasant sensory experience.
Using energy-efficient and future-proof design strategies, we craft buildings that mitigate the impact of climate change. Recognizing the essential role nature plays in enhancing our health and well-being, we integrate biophilic design and use natural, durable materials.
Our work is research-driven and evidence-based. We conduct daylight studies, energy modeling, and carbon analyses to create environments that people enjoy being in; beautiful environments that offer comfort and have a lasting positive impact on user health and well-being.
