Our approach to design is underpinned by our company ethos, putting the wellbeing of people and planet at the centre of our projects – ensuring spaces are thriving long after completion.
Beyond Sustainability
The wellbeing of people and planet is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that everyone and everything deserves to thrive within the built environment and that healthy ecosystems are key to creating healthy spaces.
We want to enhance health and wellbeing within our cities, neighbourhoods, ecosystems, streets, buildings, and interiors – and ultimately all the spaces we interact.
We create layered design responses that encourage a more considered approach to connecting with nature; ensuring placemaking accounts for all life to ensure spaces offer more, both now and into the future.

Biophilic design
We address the wellbeing of people, place, and planet through the lens of biophilic design, something we have been recognised leaders since 2010, trusted by brands such as Bloomberg, John Lewis Partnership and Accor Hotels.
Biophilic design delivers on our innate preference to natural environments, considering:

Direct connections: introducing real forms of nature in design, such as sunlight, planting, and water
Indirect connections: evoking a feeling of nature by specifying natural materials, colours, textures and technologies.
Experience of space & place: creating a diverse set of zoned spaces that range from exciting & stimulating, to calming & restorative
Enhanced Approach
We have developed, tested, and refined an enhanced approach to biophilic design, which has demonstrated impressive results in post occupancy studies. Our approach addresses:

Neuroscientific considerations – identifying how nature can support a reduction in stress and fatigue, whilst enhancing physical and mental restoration
Cognitive & sensory zoning – an inclusive approach to create diverse sets of spaces to suit a range of users and sensory comfort thresholds
Socio-psychological approaches to enhance community connections using nature based human centred features
Evidenced based design – using existing research and POE studies to demonstrate a return on investment
Using our Biophilic Design Analysis Toolkit (BDAT) – to guide the design process, identify and deliver the most effective nature-based features. Find out how we can help you….
Our Commitment
As a company, and members of the global community, we feel an acute responsibility to ensuring our internal operations and impact as a studio are aligned with the UK Green Building Council (UKGBC) mission; to radically improve the sustainability of the built environment.
We have a commitment to the stewardship of our planet, which includes all life – not just human. As a founding signatory of Interior Design Declares Climate & Biodiversity Emergency, we play an active role in raising awareness, improving understanding and encouraging commitment.
Our work considers all aspects of sustainable, regenerative practices; from the clients we align ourselves with to the strategy, design, and thought leadership we undertake.
