human spaces
​​
It is in the spaces of our buildings that the human body has the opportunity to engage all the senses and reflect on our condition.
​
The human ideal is one that transcends the simple concept of home as a place that simply fulfils a fundamental the physical needs of protection, warmth and sustenance. Being human demands we also satisfy our sentient and emotional wellbeing - tactility, beauty, a sense of belonging, of purpose, heart and spirituality.
Over the years we have developed the practices and processes necessary to guide you towards crafting your home. They consist of multiple modalities and understandings that impact wellbeing; passive solar, sustainability, air flow, security, design, construction and space sculpting.
human spaces requires human collaboration and the time to craft the space based on this collaboration.
​
So enjoy the journey, as time and space are your allies in the art of 'human spaces' architecture.
the practice
Human Spaces works with home owners to create sustainable and healthy homes. Architectural designs explore and engage with light, texture, setting & human comfort to create a home with uplifting interior spaces that are unique.
​
Good design outcomes are not based on budget. Every home deserves architectural consideration and every human deserves an inspiring & functional home.
​
Human Spaces collaborate with a broad cross section of building professionals to ensure your home design is not only designed for its aesthetic beauty but also designed and considered to be practical, functional and fundamentally sound.
