Design with Children in Mind
When designing spaces and objects where young children are direct or indirect users, we design with sensitivity towards them to support and nourish their development.
Studies in neuroscience show that our nervous system is in its key development during early childhood and needs to obtain experiences such as sensory, movement, or emotional input. These experiences shape the foundations of our brain and personality.
Meaningful designed spaces towards young children help to improve and expand their skills and behaviour, and to strengthen their learning processes.
Key aspects of our design considerations include:
Encouraging play, exploration, and social interaction, between children and adults alike
Attention to the child’s perspective and age-related skills
Looking at different ways their can inhabit and appropriate the space, with attention to accessibility (child-friendly places), including elements within children’s reach
Attention to safety (allowing carefully managed risk), including design features such as round corners, materials that are safe for them to touch and lick
Differentiating zones and rhythms (spaces for active play and spaces for slow play, relax and contemplation)
More about our Approach to Design
Design with
Attention to Detail
We are meticulous and we design with attention to detail, with a focus to achieve a sense of good quality as a whole.
Design for the Senses
We design spaces that stimulate our senses, with attention to aesthetics.
Design using
Neuroscience
We combine our own intuition, experience, and creativity with neuroscience research in relation to design and architecture.
