"We are passionate about reframing the way our built environments are created and look to spark change in the industry through innovative work that challenges the status quo.
We are driven by the question of how we can better shape places in response to people’s needs, create solutions for changing patterns of life in the 21st century and develop new ways that are fit for the societal challenges and possibilities of today?"
NATASHA REID - MATTER SPACE SOUL
MATTER . SPACE . SOUL is a new type of spatial design lab working to re-imagine places in response to changing patterns of life. We put human experience at the centre, in order to design for health, happiness, quality of life and social wellbeing.
As a new type of specialist discipline in a field of quickly growing interest, we work fluidly across architecture, urban design, interiors, public art, and placemaking – going beyond surface appearances to incorporate emotional, psychological, social and cultural impacts into spatial design.
Since inception, the studio has been recognized for it’s forward-thinking approaches and we often speak at industry conferences on our particular perspectives; looking more deeply into the unseen yet strongly felt human aspects of places.
