How We Work
What We Do
We Design Homes that Shape Emotions, Support Health,
and enhance Wellbeing
Brick & Moss is among the few architecture and interior design studios that base every project on how spaces shape emotions and influence health, and how insights from neuroarchitecture can inform design.
Our holistic design approach brings together a network of leading experts, from lighting and soundscape to aromatherapy and materials, to create cohesive, wellbeing-focused homes.

Our Expertise
We Combine Nature, Human Biology, and Sensory Engagement
Brick & Moss works with two key elements, connection to nature and our biological heritage.
Our design restores the innate connection to nature, often lost in our homes and in our cities, by applying principles of biophilic design.
We also consider the biological patterns humans carry from thousands of years of evolution and translate them into the spaces we inhabit today.
Every design choice considers how people respond to space and how the senses are engaged. Good design consciously integrate all senses, not just visual aesthetics.
Why This Matter for You
Homes Influence Mood, Focus, Rest, and Daily Life, We Design to Enhance All of These.
By combining architecture, interior design, and research on human perception, cognition, emotion and physiology, our human-centered approach allows Brick & Moss to create homes that positively influence emotions, improve health, and enhance how people feel, focus, rest, and live. Our goal is to create environments that generate wellbeing.
How We Design for Health and Wellbeing
We Link Science and Emotion, Tailoring Each Home to Individual Experiences
Brick & Moss links science to emotions, considering research in the field of neuroarchitecture.
How people perceive space and respond to space is the first question we ask as designers.
We design spaces to trigger those emotions that make you feel well, restored, focused, creative, and happy.
But there is no single answer for everyone, so each design is also a response to individual experiences, intentions, and aspirations.
How Wellbeing Is Built into a Home
Our Design Tools Orchestrate Space, Flow, Sensory Layers, and Natural Principles
True design goes beyond visible elements, like light, colours, materials, sequence of spaces. Effective design works by engaging all senses, because we perceive a space through sight, sound, touch, smell, and subtle sensations simultaneously.
Senses support each other, think about how every colour suggests a scent, and every scent deepens the experience of colour.
Invisible layers of design such as sound and scent can be very powerful. For example, the first impression of a space often comes from the soundscape or scent, even before you see it.
