At Unlike Architects, we believe that good architecture should not be exclusive. Neuroinclusive design is an approach that takes into account the perceptual, sensory and cognitive diversity of users. We design spaces that reduce stress, minimize excessive stimuli and support concentration, relaxation and well-being.

Neuroinclusiveness is an approach that acknowledges and celebrates neurodiversity. This means that people differ in the way they process information, perceive sensory input, and respond to their environment. Neurotypical people make up the majority of the population, but there is also a significant group of neuroatypical people, such as those with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and Tourette’s syndrome.
Traditional offices are often designed with the average worker in mind, which can lead to the exclusion of neuroatypical people. Open office space, noise, bright light, lack of privacy – these are just some of the factors that can be difficult for people with sensory sensitivities or concentration difficulties to endure.
Neuroinclusive architecture aims to create spaces that are welcoming and accessible to everyone, regardless of their neurological differences. It is about designing environments that minimize stress, sensory overload, and disorientation while stimulating creativity, concentration, and collaboration.
for EVERYONE, but especially for person with disabilities, person with sensory hypersensitivities, person with concentration difficulties, senior persons
Minimizing stimuli improves well-being and allows you to function more effectively.
Diversity of perspectives and work styles promotes innovation and generating new ideas
Employees who feel accepted and appreciated are more loyal and less likely to change jobs
A company that cares about diversity and inclusion is perceived as socially responsible and attractive to talents
Employees who feel comfortable and safe in their environment are more focused and productive.
Providing a variety of workspaces that meet different needs and preferences. In addition to open office space, it is worth creating quiet rooms for focused work, relaxation zones, conference rooms of various sizes and types, as well as spaces for collaboration and social interaction.
Allowing employees to adjust their environment to their individual needs. This includes the ability to adjust lighting, temperature, noise levels, and access to natural light and fresh air.
Minimize factors that can cause sensory overload. Avoid bright lights, intense colors, loud sounds, strong smells, and chaotic design. Use muted colors, natural materials, soft lighting, and acoustic panels.
Ensure a clear and intuitive layout of the space that facilitates orientation and movement. Avoid labyrinths, hidden corners and ambiguous markings. Use clear signage, color codes and landmarks.
Introducing elements of nature into the interior of the office. Plants, natural light, a view of greenery - all this has a positive effect on well-being and reduces stress. It is also worth taking care of access to outdoor spaces, such as terraces or gardens.
Providing employees with the opportunity for isolation and a sense of security. The idea is to create places where you can calm down, relax and recharge your batteries. It is worth using screens, partitions, telephone booths or sleeping capsules.
Designing spaces that can be easily adapted to changing needs and preferences. Modular furniture, mobile partitions, adjustable desks – these are just some of the solutions worth considering.
Using technology that facilitates communication, collaboration and adapting the environment to individual needs. Room booking applications, lighting and temperature management systems, noise-canceling headphones – these are just some examples.
