Unlocking potential through neuroarchitecture. We combine scientific research with innovative design to create spaces that enhance well-being, productivity, and human connection. Discover how our evidence-based approach can transform your environment and drive effective results.
A Hallway That Guides and Welcomes
Inclusive Wayfinding Through Neuroarchitecture
Neuroarchitectural and Emotional Approach: Our client, who has partial vision loss, needed the entrance to her home—a narrow, dimly lit hallway—to be a safe and easy-to-navigate space. What should have been a warm welcome home had become a confusing experience, fraught with tension and a sense of vulnerability.
Based on an understanding of her perceptual and emotional needs, we developed a proposal grounded in neuroscientific evidence to transform this daily journey into an intuitive, warm, and accessible path.
The solution incorporated tactile elements, acoustic improvements, low-vision adapted lighting, differentiated floor and handrail textures, and assistive technology that facilitates navigation within the home. These features work together to offer clear guidance, reduce cognitive load, and increase safety without compromising the aesthetics of the space. Today, the hallway guides. And more importantly: it welcomes.
Initial state: Circulation space with poor lighting, no color contrast, and no depth cue.
Intervened Space: Use of linear lighting, lighting
warm ceiling lighting, use of chromatic contrast, textures, and guides on the walls and floor indicating the path.
