PRACTICE

Our practice ethos is simple; to design places of sense for those with sensitivities. In doing so, we seek to create a sense of place, belonging and inclusiveness for those who feel out of place in this overstimulating and noisy world. We believe in fixing and redesigning the environments around us based on a critical understanding of the people most deeply impacted by their everyday environments, looking critically at their sensitivities, and how they intersect with the physical interior environment. We approach designing environments to meet the needs of our most sensitive people.

​

Those who live with sensitivities (including those with neurological diversities, cognitive variations, environmental sensitivities and mental health challenges), should not be an afterthought, an addition, or an accommodation to an existing space. They should be prioritised in the design of our everyday environments.

Our practice engages in a range of deep-dive research projects and small-scale interior design projects. We contribute to existing bodies of knowledge by generating new resources and research pieces, and through each design-based project we apply research and knowledge to inform every design decision. We are not about following, making or breaking trends but rather understanding, researching, and thinking critically about sensitivities as they relate to and are deeply impacted by interior design.

SERVICES
