A healthy start to the day for Nutrition and Hydration Week! 🌿 Over in Leeds, our team championed health and wellbeing by taking part in a refreshing Pilates session, followed by a nutritious breakfast. The perfect way to kickstart the day! A balanced morning routine is key to physical and mental wellbeing, and our Leeds team fully embraced this - moving, stretching and recharging before enjoying a delicious, healthy breakfast packed with nutrients. At our practice, we believe that wellbeing in the workplace is essential to productivity, collaboration and personal growth. It’s fantastic to see the team practise this very ethos while having fun along the way. We hope everyone enjoyed themselves and weren’t too sore afterwards!

In support of Neurodiversity Celebration Week, we’re reflecting on how we design spaces that are inclusive, accessible and equitable for all. ✨ At the heart of our work is ensuring the people using our projects feel safe, comfortable and supported, whatever their needs may be. Across healthcare, offices or education spaces, we create environments where everyone feels supported, including spaces for SEND pupils. One great example includes the Clinic Building at The University of Salford, designed to support the training and education of future healthcare professionals. To create an accessible and supportive environment, we embrace various inclusive design principles such as trauma-informed design and dementia-friendly design. Incorporating thoughtful wayfinding, biophilia, quiet areas and sensory-friendly spaces, we aim to address diverse needs and promote accessibility for all individuals. These features will support staff, students and the local community to navigate and use the space with ease, comfort and confidence. Discover more about how we’re prioritising wellbeing, accessibility and inclusivity in our project case study here: https://lnkd.in/er5XckR6 Keep your eyes peeled as this project is set to reach an exciting milestone.
