How we do this?
We ensure lived experience informs spatial planning, sensory environment, privacy, autonomy, safety, and daily living functionality — before design decisions are locked in.
We embed structured service-user consultation at key decision points across the project lifecycle — from feasibility and concept design through to pre-planning and final design review.
We provide formal feedback capture and validation cycles.
