WHO WE ARE
Creating great spaces to support health and wellbeing
- based on research and evidence
WHO WE ARE
We at Active Spaces believe that health and wellbeing is a human right. We also believe that by creating supportive physical spaces, we can improve health and wellbeing, through a holistic and evidence-based approach
Making the world a healthier place, one space at the time
The physical spaces where we spend our time have a great role to play in our wellbeing. Unfortunately many spaces don't quite deliver. Currently the world has been turned up-side-down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have changed how and where we do things and although we don't know what the post-Corona world will bring, we need to prepare for it.
The New Normal
With the post-Corona 'New Normal' we have the opportunity to do things better than before. Spaces and habits will need to be nimble enough to handle both business as usual, as well as new pandemics and the like. Active Spaces is in the business of creating great spaces that support our health and performance. We take a multi-disciplinary and holistic approach to offer guidance to organisations, so they can transition to future-proof spaces. We offer solutions, evaluations and evidence syntheses.
