Schools should inspire, not constrain. The Humanitree School by Rosan Bosch Studio proves a simple truth: environment shapes education. When schools prioritise good design, students perform better. They think bigger. They feel safer. Yet, too often, we treat schools like boxes—bland, uninspiring, one-size-fits-all. At SCENE, we’re inspired by innovative spaces like the Humanitree School, where nature and creativity come together to nurture growth and connection. We design educational environments that challenge norms, inspire curiosity and foster community. Because learning isn’t just what happens inside a classroom. It’s the space itself. #purposedrivendesign #designscene #educationaldesign #learningenvironments #schoolarchitecture

Adaptive reuse isn’t just about repurposing old buildings—it’s about reimagining how we can blend the past with the future. The Wintercircus Cultural Hub in Ghent is a perfect example of how adaptive reuse can breathe new life into a space while maintaining its heritage. From sustainability to community impact, adaptive reuse offers a fresh way forward and it’s proof that with creativity and vision, the old can fuel the new. #adaptivereuse #sustainablearchitecture #heritageandinnovation #reimagininghistory #culturaltransformation #adaptivearchitecture #greendesign #buildingthefuture

Designing for Healing: How Spaces Can Help Children Through Trauma Spaces designed for children facing trauma must do more than provide care—they must foster emotional security and promote healing. At SCENE, we focus on creating environments that blend comfort, safety and flexibility. Through thoughtful design, we can create spaces that offer children a sense of stability and agency, using elements like natural light, calming colours and adaptable layouts. These spaces are not just places for recovery—they become tools for emotional restoration. ➡ How can design help heal trauma in care spaces? Let's start by designing with empathy. https://lnkd.in/eEiVgNxh

Designing Spaces That Support Every Mind: Why Neurodiversity Matters in Interior Design. When we design, we often think of the physical space—lighting, layout, furniture. But how often do we think about how the space affects the mind? Neurodiverse individuals, including those with ADHD, autism, dyslexia and other cognitive differences, experience the world differently. That’s why designing spaces that are sensitive and responsive to these needs isn’t just important—it’s essential. The Neurodiversity Toolkit by Perkins&Will outlines key strategies for designing environments that support everyone, including those who experience the world in unique ways. Here are a few takeaways from the toolkit: Sensory Sensitivity: Reduce sensory overload by using natural light, soft acoustics and tactile materials to create a calming environment. Personal Space: Give people the ability to control their surroundings, whether that’s through adjustable lighting or quiet spaces for focus. Clear Layouts: Use intuitive layouts with easy navigation to reduce anxiety and improve the flow of daily activities. Flexibility: Provide spaces that can adapt to a range of needs and activities, offering areas for collaboration or quiet concentration. At SCENE, we believe interior design can be transformative and that means considering the needs of every individual, regardless of their neurodiversity. A space that works for everyone is a space that truly supports mental, emotional and social well-being.

Designing for All. In a world where diversity and inclusion are top priorities, embedding inclusive design into our spaces isn’t just a choice—it’s a responsibility. Design is critical, not only for accessibility but for creating environments where everyone can thrive. From workplaces to public spaces, the way we design impacts how people experience the world. The key takeaway? Inclusive design isn’t a trend—it’s the future of the built environment. Let’s lead the way in making every space welcoming for all. #inclusivedesign #purposedrivendesign #designthinking #humancentereddesign #interiordesign #diversityandinclusion #workplacewellness #socialimpactdesign #futureofdesign #interiordesigners

Inclusive Design Matters. Inclusive design goes beyond accessibility—it's about creating spaces that cater to the diverse needs of every individual. By listening to communities and tailoring environments to their specific needs, we foster a sense of belonging and empower users. Inclusive design can play a vital role in strengthening communities and improving lives, from gender-neutral restrooms to wellness spaces that support emotional well-being. Let’s challenge the status quo and create spaces that truly make a difference. #InclusiveDesign #Community #ImpactfulDesign #DesignMatters #purposeDrivenDesign #DesignScene

Designing for Well-being: Beyond Aesthetics A study by the World Health Organisation (WHO) revealed that 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health issue at some point in their lives. The environment we create can play a crucial role in preventing and managing these conditions. A recent study found that rooms with views of nature enhance cognitive function and emotional well-being, while curved rooms further increase happiness and reduce stress levels. As designers, we have a responsibility to create spaces that do more than just look good. It's about crafting environments that promote well-being, foster creativity and support mental health. At SCENE, we're committed to integrating these principles into our designs, ensuring that every space we create contributes positively to the lives of its occupants. Let's move beyond aesthetics and start designing for well-being. How does your space contribute to your well-being? Share your thoughts or experiences in the comments below!

Design That Does More Than Look Good. Design has the power to inspire, connect and support—but only if we push it beyond aesthetics. That’s why every project we work on at SCENE focuses on impact: 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲: Tackling issues like climate change, inequality and social disadvantage. 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆: Creating spaces where everyone feels welcome. 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴: Prioritising mental health and meaningful experiences. From launching the UK’s first interior design apprenticeship to delivering pro bono projects through Social Scene, we’re proving that commercial design can create real change—not just nice visuals. Let’s rethink what design can do. What impact do you think spaces should have? #purposedrivendesign #designscene #designimpact #futureofdesign #inclusiveinteriors #socialimpactspaces

What if healthcare spaces could do more than heal—what if they could inspire, connect and restore? Renzo Piano’s design for Sharjah’s ‘Hospital of the Future’ is a bold re-imagination of what medical spaces can be. By integrating nature, sustainability and cutting-edge design, this project sets a benchmark for the future of healthcare environments.
