Designing With Purpose | Episode 7

 What makes a space actually work for the people inside it? Most people think great design is about how things look. But the best spaces do something more — they guide you, calm you, energize you, and make you feel at home. All without you ever noticing why. In this episode of Designing with Purpose, Kyle Stuart sits down with Beth Bokelman (Director of Interior Design) and Jeremy Bartlett (Firm Principal) at Thrive Architects to talk about what it really means to design for the people who use a space every day. You'll learn:

• How smart design helps staff work more efficiently in senior living facilities
• Why a first-time visitor to your church should always know exactly where to go
• How color, lighting, and materials can reduce anxiety and create calm
• How to design spaces that create energy and excitement — not just comfort
• The secret to marrying great function with great aesthetics

Whether you're planning a senior living facility, a church, a recreational space, or an office — this episode will change how you think about the spaces you build. Ready to design a space that works as good as it looks? Visit us at http://thrive-architects.com

Designing With Purpose | Episode 6

 

A lot of people walk into a project assuming the only way to get a high-end result is to spend more.

More on finishes, more on materials, more across the board. But in reality, what makes the biggest difference usually isn’t the price. It’s the decisions being made along the way.

How light is introduced into the space, how materials relate to each other, and how everything flows from one area to the next all play a role in how the space ultimately feels.

In this episode of Designing With Purpose, we talk about what actually creates that sense of intention, and how thoughtful design can elevate a project without pushing beyond the budget.

Because the goal isn’t to impress someone for a moment when they walk in. It’s to create a space that continues to feel right over time, for the people using it every day.
