Our studio specializes in creating supportive environments for individuals across the full spectrum of visual needs, including those with age-related vision loss, color vision deficiency, or blindness. We focus on data-driven, interactive solutions that prioritize safety and independence.

Acoustics & Tactile Navigation: Our designs leverage sound-absorbing textiles and acoustic treatments to help individuals better orient themselves within a space using sound.

High-Contrast Wayfinding: To aid mobility, we implement high-contrast palettes, such as painting doors and handrails in distinct colors.

Layered & Smart Lighting: We design comprehensive lighting networks that combine overhead, task, and wall lighting, often integrated with smart systems to adapt to changing natural light throughout the day.

Smart Technology: Voice-controlled lighting, heating, air conditioning, audio systems, security systems, appliances, and window treatments can be controlled through hands-free, screen-free interaction.

Glare Reduction & Finish Selection: We utilize matte finishes for flooring, paint, and countertops to minimize reflective glare.

Integrated Storage: We design custom-built-in storage to eliminate floor-level obstacles and help pathways remain clear and predictable.

Tactile Organization: Custom Braille or embossed markers for easy identification.

Non-Visual Kitchen Design: Employs varied textures, soft corners, slip-resistant flooring, accessible hardware, tactile markers, and smart home technologies.

Haptic Home Integration: Smart systems that provide vibration or audio feedback for essential home alerts.

Evidence-Based Field Testing: Design decisions are vetted through interactive field testing with the client.

By blending inclusive design strategies with personal aesthetics, this article explores how intentional choices in lighting, layout, and contrast can foster independence and comfort for individuals living with visual impairment.
