Our approach.

Our approach.

• 1.Inclusive

  

  Inclusive design is about so much more than ramps, lifts, and accessible toilets. It is about how the built environment can go beyond the minimum standards of building regulations and create spaces that are inspiring, inclusive, and future-proofed for all. Many of our human characteristics and identities are invisible. As a result, they tend to be overlooked in the standard design process. However, they have a profound impact on how individuals can use and enjoy a space.

• 2.Above and beyond

  

  Working alongside our clients and their design teams, we strive to redefine what is possible in inclusive design. Going beyond the minimum building regulations we create inspiring, design-led projects that are inclusive and future-proofed for everyone.

• 3.Solution-focused

  

  We’re not about tick boxes. We don't just uncover access and inclusion challenges with buildings, we propose creative design solutions that make your space more inclusive.

  Embedding inclusive design at the earliest stages of your project doesn’t only increase cost-effectiveness, it also opens up opportunities for the most creative solutions.

• 4.Evidence-based

  

  Seeking and involving different perspectives throughout a project, from conception to post-completion, is the only way to be sure design is really meeting a diverse range of needs.

  The Motionspot team is skilled at blending user insights with the latest global best practice, cutting-edge academic research, evidence-based design principles, and relevant local legislation.

  Our team and network include leading specialists on rapidly evolving subjects such as dementia and neurodiversity and intersects with people who have lived experiences of a range of protected characteristics.

• 5.Sustainable

  

  Thinking inclusively is more sustainable. It future-proofs design, saves money and reduces financially and ecologically costly retrofitting.

• 6.Global

  

  With offices in the UK and North America and a global network of inclusive designers we help local, national, and multi-national businesses and organisations to create inclusive environments across the office, hospitality, later living, retail, and care sectors around the world.

• 7.Innovative product solutions

  

  Frustrated that well-designed accessible products weren’t easy to find on the market, we developed our inclusive product advice service to identify the right products for our clients to create beautiful inclusive facilities with confidence. Every product we recommend is in line with Motionspot’s ethos of design-led accessibility. Explore our product advice service

• 8.Collaborative

  

  The best solutions come when people work together. We are experienced at working collaboratively with architects, interior designers, Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (ED&I) and building/property teams, contractors, building users, and product manufacturers at all RIBA stages.
