Preventive Design
Design Strategy
Our Preventive Design Strategy adopts a proactive, science-driven approach to create environments that optimize health and well-being. Using insights from neuroscience and cognitive sciences, we develop tailored recommendations aimed at reducing stress, enhancing cognitive performance, and fostering overall user satisfaction. This service benefits investors, developers, and architects seeking to implement forward-thinking solutions that support a healthier, high-performing environment. By focusing on prevention and well-being, the strategy aligns with long-term goals for ESG compliance and sustainability, delivering improvements in productivity, user experience, and overall health outcomes.
Case Study:
In partnership with the global firm HKS Architects and studio HUME, Natalia Olszewska from IMPRONTA contributed to a research-driven report exploring how innovative design can enhance brain health and overall well-being. Leveraging insights from neuroscience and cognitive psychology, we collaborated on developing strategies aimed at reducing stress, improving mental clarity, and fostering cognitive engagement. The findings provide practical guidelines for creating environments that support long-term wellness.
Deliverables:
The deliverable was a comprehensive, science-informed design report exploring how architectural strategies can enhance brain health and support healthy aging across various environments. Drawing on extensive research from cognitive sciences and analysis of current literature, including animal model studies, the report offered practical design recommendations to reduce stress, boost creativity, and support positive cognitive outcomes. The findings aim to guide the creation of environments that prevent cognitive decline and promote well-being for users of all ages.
