One-to-One Consultancy Services

You don’t need to wonder what the best course of action is design-wise, you can use science and do design right – and once – the space you create can evolve with you, whether that’s your family home or your corporate organisation. The space can align with your personality and the personalities of other people who live in a space (home design) or the personalities of those who will be expected to use the space and their national and organisational cultures (office design).

The space can support who you really are and what you want to accomplish, not fads. Here at The Space Doctors people commission us to look at their homes and offices, and help them design their spaces better, based on Science.

Optimising Design with Published or Project-Specific New Research

We  inform the design of successful places and things.

We apply neuroscience to with you to develop powerful design options. The design-focused neuroscientists at The Space Doctors focus on people’s experience in the physical world and use rigorous scientific methods to study how features of objects and settings influence behaviours, attitudes, and well-being.  Applying what neuroscientists have learned leads to unique insights into design projects.

The consultants at The Space Doctors can:

• Apply research from rigorously derived, published scientific studies to your specific design project
• Conduct targeted project-specific field studies (e.g., using observation, interview, survey, and group discussion techniques).

The Space Doctors, are Design-focused cognitive scientists who answer questions such as:

• What are the emotional effects of surface colours? Colours of light? How does where we grew up influence these responses?
• How do shapes (seen or felt) mould our experiences?
• How are personality, national culture, and preferred design styles really related? How do we use our environments and possessions to communicate nonverbally? Why does that matter?
• How do sounds affect our mental state? What sorts of noises delight us? Frustrate us? Help us concentrate?
• How do room dimensions influence us psychologically?
• Why does smell matter? How can scents be used to help us learn (and remember) technical material? Exercise more vigorously and consistently? Avoid claustrophobia? Be creative? Feel healthier?
• How do textures influence us emotionally? Is it important whether we see them or feel them?
