Our team is accredited in the International WELL Building Standard, which focuses on making buildings healthy for occupants.
Because we love old buildings, we learned a lot about the many health hazards that often come with inhabiting them. Even in modern buildings, a lack of natural light, proper air quality, and noise pollution can impact one’s health over time. Looking at your project through the lens of the WELL Standard addresses the quality of life for occupants within a building. If you’d like your project to become WELL certified, we can make it happen.
