We create spaces that engage all the senses

Synesthetic architecture refers to the design of spaces that stimulate multiple senses simultaneously, often in ways that transcend traditional boundaries. Synesthesia is a neurological phenomenon in which stimulation of one sense leads to an automatic, involuntary response in another sense. For example, a person with synesthesia might “see” colors when hearing sounds, or “feel” textures when reading words. Sensory architecture, on the other hand, focuses on creating spaces that are rich in sensory stimuli, tailored to the diverse needs and preferences of users. This includes the conscious design of lighting, acoustics, smells, textures, and temperature to create an optimal environment for work and relaxation.
