PLACES HAVE THE POWER TO ENRICH OUR LIVES We are an architectural research and design lab focusing on putting human wellbeing at the heart of how our surroundings are made. We were founded with the ambition to catalyse change in the industry, by exploring the relationship between the built environment and the social, psychological and emotional impacts on people. Driven by our values of optimism, empathy and innovation, we work with like-minded organisations to create new solutions and pioneering projects that respond deeply to people’s needs. A DIFFERENT STARTING POINT We believe in design that responds to our inner workings as human beings. So we are passionate about translating people's needs into joyful, beautiful, soulful spaces. For us, design is a tool to catalyse change and at best, has the potential enhance humanity by addressing today's pressing issues. HUMAN NATURE AT THE HEART OF HOW PLACES ARE MADE Since inception, we have been sharing our forward-thinking work and research, including speaking at the London Mayor’s housing conference on our solutions for the housing crisis. We have been awarded grants by organizations such as the British Council to develop fresh perspectives and strategies in response to the changing nature of living and cities
