Our Services

We take a scientific, data-driven approach that combines research and experience from diverse fields to inform unique Universal Design strategies tailored to your needs.

What is Universal Design?

Universal design is about creating an inclusive society. It is not a type of product – it is a design thinking process that can be applied to anything and everything that is designed to be used by people. At Asylum, we apply this to the built environment, to design spaces that meet the physical, mental, cultural and social needs of the vulnerable members of our community.

Our practice is informed by:

Human Centred Design

Psychology in Architecture and Design

Acoustics and auditory influence on sensory and physical comfort

Specialist lighting and optical design

Biophilic landscape design

Leading practice for accessibility and inclusion

Wayfinding and instructional spatial design

UX design
