Neuroscience + architecture + Design
How brains, minds, bodies and buildings interact.
It’s All Connected
Design for All People, Places and Our Planet.
We advise on all phases to consider user experience and outcomes, deploying multiple methods including virtual and mockup simulations, biometric, observational and published research.
Design innovation begins with your priorities, interests and ingenuity, to inform business plans and briefs, ideation, conceptual, schematic, design development, and products. Pre-design inquiry informs value added and value-engineering. Post-occupancy evaluations provided lessons learned for enhancements and the next projects.
