Atmosphere

Atmosphere explores how the visual layout of an environment shapes our psyche and behaviour. This includes every element of a space—the shape of objects, their materials, how easy it is to navigate, and whether the space feels cluttered or sparse. Our response to environments, both indoor and outdoor, is deeply rooted in the survival instincts of our ancestors, who evolved over millions of years to assess spaces for features such as safety, food and danger . This is why today places can evoke feelings of comfort, excitement, or stress. The difference today is that we navigate cities and lounge rooms, not jungles.

The way we behave in different environments is a key focus of environmental psychology, which has influenced architectural and interior design movements such as Biophilia, to name just one.

Atmosphere draws on these insights to help you create spaces that are calming, restorative, engaging, or creative. It considers all the senses for to you reflect on what will work best in your environments —light and colour from Aurora, scent from Aroma, sound from Acoustics, and textures and temperature from Action. By integrating sensory elements, you can move towards a total sense of wellbeing.
