Enabling health environments

Good design of environments for health has been shown to have a direct impact on patient health and staff satisfaction.

We advise a small number of clients commissioning health projects to ensure there is good design and functionality in new health schemes.

It’s essential to ensure that long-term value for money is embedded in processes early on, up to and including the choice of a partner to deliver the design. We occasionally hold design workshops, or 'charrettes', where our enablers explore options together with chosen design teams.
