We recognize the person as a whole, taking into consideration every aspect of the human makeup: physical, emotional, mental, relational, intellectual, and spiritual.
By understanding the impact of the surrounding environments on the physical and psychological aspects of the human being, we co-create positive places that respond to the needs of individuals and groups on every level.
And by understanding the natural environment _the land, the climate, and the elements and their energies_ we are able to design places in harmony with the natural world, supporting the flow between the inside and the outside.
This approach can bring joy to people as soon as they step into the space, improving human relations, increasing focus, productivity, and creativity and restoring the connection with the natural world, the source of our health and happiness.
Spaces & Places. Planning
The spaces we live in determine the quality of our lives and how we interact with our environments, whether social, built or natural.
The layout impacts how people connect, converse and relate.
It also influences how we relate to the outside and the landscape laying beyond and whether we allow this landscape and outdoors to influence the interior and its inhabitants.
Mindfully designed, interior spaces can enhance daily activities, maintain healthy habits, support connections, and create balance and flow.
Connecting with Nature
Our connection to Nature is integral to our well-being; not only are we invigorated when we are immersed in natural environments, but studies have revealed many benefits to the physical and mental health of those who have regular, meaningful contact with natural elements and processes.
Integrating Nature goes beyond adding plants to a more multi-layered practice that connects people with the natural cycles, rhythms and energies, blending several natural ingredients as well as creating connection and flow between the outside and the inside.
Sustainability
Our efforts to live better cannot ignore living sustainably. We address both environmental and economic sustainability, applying Green Design and sustainable construction methods, Natural Building, using eco-friendly materials and products, reducing waste and energy consumption, preserving our resources, and repurposing and reusing objects.
Colour Design
Colours affect our emotions, energy level, and to some extent, the way we react to events. By understanding this impact, we develop colour palettes to enhance people’s experiences and serve specific requirements, in addition to aesthetics. The right colours and combinations can boost energy, improve mood and focus, and increase feelings of belonging and connectedness. Misused, colour can elicit feelings of loneliness, agitation, boredom, or other negative emotions.
Colour Design is a complex practice that considers colour nuances, balance, energy, conscious and subconscious preference, and existing factors influencing colour applications.
Lighting Design
The benefits of natural light are not debatable. Good design maximizes natural light in interior spaces; however, when design faces limitations, alternative lighting combinations and innovative technology can compensate, and even approach, the benefits of full-spectrum illumination. Colour temperature, colour renderings, functions, age of users, and moods desired are some factors we consider in this design process that understand the importance and principles of lighting design.
Uniqueness & Authenticity
Authenticity and uniqueness are essential ingredients for a nurturing environment. We need to express ourselves and that our intimate environment tells our story and reflects who we are. Making every space distinctively reflect people's true sense of beauty and core values is crucial to strengthening feelings of belonging, home and inner connectedness..
Inclusivity & Barrier Free
Whether it’s about creating a beautiful and safe place in which all can live with ease during the senior years, or accommodate current needs for oneself or a loved one, we seamlessly integrate the latest barrier-free technology to respond to mobility, limitations, and sensory needs without compromising aesthetics and the feeling of home. We consider all aspects of well-being and offer design solutions that improve the quality of life, and we play a supportive role throughout the process.
