Who we are

Motionspot is a RIBA award-winning access and inclusive design consultancy for the built environment. As advisory consultants, we are dedicated to creating beautifully accessible and welcoming spaces that enable people to thrive.

Who we are

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

At Motionspot, we partner closely with our clients and their design teams to push the boundaries of what inclusive design can achieve. We don’t just meet minimum building regulations; we go further, creating inspiring, design-led environments that combine beauty, practicality, and long-term accessibility. Every project is tailored to be inclusive today and future-proofed, ensuring spaces work for everyone who uses them.

3

Solution-focussed

We’re not about tick boxes. We don't just uncover access and inclusion challenges with buildings; we provide recommendations that make your space more inclusive.

4

Evidence-based

The most inclusive projects involve people with different perspectives throughout the process from conception to post-completion.

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

Our access and inclusive design consultants include leading specialists on rapidly evolving subjects such as neurodiversity, faith, age and intersectionality with all protected characteristics protected under the Equality Act 2010.

5

Sustainable

Inclusive thinking is inherently sustainable. By designing with the needs of diverse people in mind from the outset, projects are future-proofed, adaptable, and less likely to require disruptive or costly changes later. This not only reduces ecological impact by avoiding unnecessary waste and retrofitting but also delivers long-term financial value. Sustainable inclusive design creates spaces that stand the test of time socially, environmentally, and economically.

6

Collaborative

The best solutions come when people work together. We are experienced at working collaboratively with architects, project managers, interior designers, building/property teams, contractors and building users at all stages of a project.

7

Global

With offices in the UK and North America and a global network of inclusive built environment consultants we help local, national, and multi-national businesses and organisations to create inclusive environments around the world.

Our approach.

At Motionspot, we believe inclusive design should be more than a checklist — it’s about creating spaces that are beautiful, functional, and welcoming for everyone. Our approach goes beyond minimum compliance with regulations, embedding accessibility and inclusivity from the very start of every project. By considering the full spectrum of human diversity, including physical, sensory, and cognitive needs, we ensure environments are not just usable, but enjoyable and inspiring. This evidence-based, human-centred way of working delivers spaces that support people of all ages, abilities, and circumstances, while unlocking long-term social, economic, and environmental value

“Motionspot brilliantly merges the skills of an access auditor with the knowledge of a product specifier to identify potential issues within a building, before proposing design solutions that will improve access for all and compliment the look and feel of our offices”
