Beyond the wellness aesthetic
A calm-looking interior is not enough to tell us about its indoor conditions. Ask how ventilation, moisture, light and acoustics support everyday use.

Better questions.
Better places.
Annie’s perspective on material health, indoor environmental quality and human-centred places. Explore the questions that connect healthy building education with practice.
Look beyond the surface.
Healthy building thinking starts with how a place is specified, operated and experienced.
Ask more of materials
A label is a starting point. Consider ingredients, emissions data, installation requirements and intended use before drawing conclusions about a product.
Consider the whole building
Material choices work alongside ventilation, moisture management and building operation. Decisions made in isolation can miss the connections that matter.
Start with people
Residents, guests and workers use places differently. Let their needs guide the brief, then connect that brief to practical design and performance priorities.
