Project Brief

Landsec is one of Europe’s leading real estate companies, creating and managing some of the country's most recognisable workplaces, retail-led destinations and mixed-use places.

Motionspot has been working with Landsec since 2024 to help embed accessibility and inclusive design across its portfolio. Supporting Landsec's ambition to create places that are truly inclusive, our role has included operationalising inclusive design principles, undertaking portfolio-wide accessibility assessments, providing design reviews for new developments, and helping establish a long-term framework for inclusive placemaking.

“We partnered with Motionspot to deliver inclusion audits across our managed retail-led and workplace portfolio. They were excellent to work with, responsive and flexible in tailoring their approach, and brought strong expertise across both sectors. They also made complex topics easy to understand, resulting in more usable outputs for our teams. The project has delivered practical site-level action plans and a clearer view of strengths and opportunities for learning. It has also identified key portfolio-level improvements, now informing guidance for future redevelopments.”
