Design isn't just about aesthetics; it's a catalyst for belonging, justice, equity and inclusion. At the #WELLConference the Design and the Future of the Human Experience panel shared profound insights into creating spaces that promote human health and inclusivity, emphasizing the paramount importance of psychological safety and belonging. Every space should nurture the ability to thrive for all individuals. As Cheryl Durst, Hon. FIIDA, Executive Vice President and CEO, International Interior Design Association shared on the MainStage, “Design is about what is on the receiving end. At the receiving end of design is human beings."

Take good care of your team, and they will take care good care of your clients. My team and I firmly believe that great design centres around the people who inhabit the space. That's why we emphasize a human-centric approach and prioritize creating an atmosphere that enhances well-being and function. These principles are at the heart of our work, as demonstrated by our latest project for a physiotherapy healthcare space in Richmond. Their glowing testimonial highlights the positive impact our design had on their clients, staff productivity, and overall ROI. Curious about how we weave these principles into every project?
