Co-creation is a core element of the human centered design philosophy and process. Its power is immense in creating spaces, places and experiences that bring truly people together. Our services extend far beyond traditional wayfinding; and for large scale public infrastructure projects, our experience design prowess enables us to act in a lead embedded human experience consultancy capacity - driving interdisciplinary design teams to ensure a deep empathy towards people is at the heart of every decision. During the ideation phase for a new public hospital infrastructure project in Victoria, we crafted the idea of creating a Community Experience Hub that would flex in scale and function during the total lifecycle of a project delivery; including once operational. The community hub is a space to facilitate project immersion, engagement, education and collaboration between members of the community, health service workforces and wider project stakeholders. It provides a scalable built environment resource to communicate with the community, provide dynamic and flexible space for workshops, testing and learning and a forum to understand and promote social impact initiatives while also informing all stakeholders about the project’s aspirations, and progressive development. This hub would act as a catalyst for the implementation of a dynamic experience ecosystem. #wayfinding #builtspaces #HumanCentredDesigneare #placemaking #wayfinding #humancentreddesign #experiencedesign #servicedesign #builtenvironment #architecture #landscapearchitecture #adaptivereuse #placemakingnsw #placemakingvictoria

Calling all real estate investors and art/design enthusiasts! I’m excited to share that our team of partners, known for curating exceptional hotels and iconic buildings through a unique blend of art, design, and architecture, is embarking on a new venture. We have several high-potential properties in the pipeline, located in the heart of Copenhagen City. Here’s why our approach is transformative: 1. Art: • Cultural Identity – Art reflects and enhances the cultural heritage of spaces, creating vibrant, storytelling environments. • Value Creation – Strategic integration of art can significantly boost property appeal and market value. • Well-being – Art has a therapeutic impact, uplifting spaces and fostering creativity and relaxation. 2. Design: • Aesthetics + Functionality – Our spaces are as functional as they are beautiful, thoughtfully designed for seamless user experience. • Sustainability – We prioritize eco-friendly design, incorporating materials and systems that ensure long-term value and environmental responsibility. 3. Real Estate: • Economic Growth – Real estate is a powerful economic driver, creating jobs and contributing to city development. • Community – Well-designed real estate fosters dynamic, livable communities with an emphasis on public art and interactive spaces. • Investment – Properties that merge design and art tend to yield higher returns, making them prime investment opportunities. If you’re looking for high-yielding, culturally rich investments, let’s connect! Copenhagen is just the beginning—more exciting projects are on the horizon. Reach out to discuss how we can collaborate.

Why Transform Instead of Build? In today’s climate-conscious world, transforming our existing real estate isn’t just an option—it’s an imperative. We are reaching a critical moment where repurposing the first generation of buildings—from aging commercial spaces to outdated office parks—is key to addressing both environmental and economic challenges. 🌍 Global Challenges • Across the world, millions of square meters of commercial spaces are vacant, failing to meet the demands of today’s evolving consumer behaviors and urban dynamics. • The construction industry contributes to 11% of global CO₂ emissions, and continuing to build endlessly is neither sustainable nor feasible. • Many existing assets are misaligned with modern needs, from underperforming malls to obsolete offices, wasting their potential and leaving communities underserved. 📈 Why Transformation Matters 1. Unlock Hidden Value: Underutilized spaces represent opportunities to rethink, redesign, and reposition assets to create vibrant, functional environments. 2. Adapt to Evolving Demographics: Urban areas and consumer expectations are constantly shifting—repurposed assets allow investors to stay relevant. 3. Reduce Environmental Impact: Transforming an existing building can cut carbon emissions by up to 50% compared to constructing new facilities. 4. Future-Proof Investments: Transformation ensures that assets are aligned with emerging trends such as mixed-use developments and sustainable solutions. 🔄 Our Approach at MIXHIVE At MIXHIVE we specialize in working with investors, funds, and developers to breathe new life into aging assets. Whether in the Middle East, Asia, Europe, or Africa, our goal is to: ✔ Repurpose spaces for modern use, from retail to offices to residential. ✔ Enhance asset value by aligning properties with market trends and future needs. ✔ Promote sustainability and profitability, ensuring growth while respecting environmental commitments. It’s no longer about creating endless new square meters but about reinventing the spaces we already have. Together, we can transform real estate into a resilient, dynamic, and sustainable ecosystem for generations to come. 🌟 #RealEstateTransformation #RepurposingBuildings #Sustainability MIXHIVE #FutureOfRealEstate #MiddleEastOpportunities #AfricaGrowth #AsiaOpportunities #UrbanInnovation Jean-Christophe Bonnois Séverine BOUTEL

💡 Can you imagine what happens when an intercultural community brings architecture and #socialimpact together in a 5-day social #designsprint? In the project “Architecture Meets Social Impact” carried out by our international community from #FördervereinAachenKapstadt, dooiy, impact konnection, #LandschaftsarchitekturRWTH, #khayelitshahub and #hhgAachen, which was funded by Engagement Global, we brought together the learning of an agile innovation methodology with a real use case and developed three testable solution approaches. 🔎 More specifically, the question of the week was: “How might we create flexible furniture systems that inspire underserved communities to maximize space and enhance home aesthetics?” The work focused on a change of perspective, which was made possible by our partner #khayelitshahub in Cape Town. Regular feedback loops enabled the architecture students to develop user-centered solutions. Day 1 started with mapping, i.e. understanding the problem, including how people live in small spaces, what challenges storage space entails and how rooms are used. 🔜 Stay tuned to find out more about this inspiring social design sprint week.

If you’re designing systems beyond your own life, like a workplace or a city, you can design for connection at a different scale. In this excerpt from the iF Design Trend Report 2024, Giulia Frittoli, a landscape architect in Copenhagen, talks about the future of cities. https://lnkd.in/evAcNEGq ----- I took my love of learning, my media theory degree, and my squiggly career path and turned it into my passion project: an email newsletter about how to be a connector. People feel increasingly isolated and disconnected from each other. I write about how to have a systems thinking approach to building relationships and creating feelings of genuine connectedness in a hybrid world.

Recently, as part of Stantec’s urban design team, I was invited to participate in Design West’s Shape my City event - a “talent accelerator programme for 15-18 year olds that seeks to change the future workforce across the built environment”. For me, it was enlightening to meet such young people thinking critically about their urban environment, and in particular the challenges of balancing the needs of people with the needs of nature. To be honest, I had some preconceptions that they might care mostly about nature and be a bit anti-development, but I was happily wrong. Many seemed to just ‘get’ that we needed to build homes and places for people, and that higher density, walkable, residential developments help fit more people into a city whilst protecting the countryside. … I’ve often thought that many people employed in Planning and Design, myself included, are greatly influenced by deeply personal values we learned long ago, as children. Values that relate to where and how we grew up, but which continue to influence what we think is “right, good and proper” today. And naturally these values inform our daily judgements of what we believe other people expect and deserve from the places we plan and design for them. But are we getting it right? Any future workforce that includes a more socially representative demographic is bound to bring broader, better insights into how the sustainable communities of the near future can really be designed to meet the needs of all; kudos to Design West for taking steps to inspire a broader group of young people and instigate this change, and for inviting people like me to come along and challenge ourselves now.
