Designing for Health and Wellness
Studies show that architecture and interior design impact both our mental and physical well-being.
A well designed space that is curated with elements of biophilia, natural lighting, clean air and access to good drinking water among other things, has a positive impact on our health. For people this means a happier healthier quality of life. For employers this translates to productivity and profitability.
Look for the WELL Health-Safety Seal
The workplace has been undoubtedly impacted since March 2020 when a Global Pandemic shifted how we work in nearly every industry across the globe. If your company is rethinking the office space for the future, RMID can help you assess those needs so you can move forward with confidence.
Designing for Wellness
“Architects and designers have a greater ability to improve public health than medical professionals.”

“Experts know that indoor spaces can pose health risks. Excessive noise, artificial light, poor nutrition and sedentary lifestyles can damage health or affect well-being.”

“With health and wellbeing rising up the agenda it’s only right that we should seek to measure and standardise it. The WELL Standard does just that in an accessible and comprehensive way. But even if you don’t intend to apply for the standard, knowing the core concepts detailed within are essential in the creation of happier, healthier, more productive places to live and work.”
