Space Audit

Understand how your space works before deciding what to change.

A Space Audit examines how an existing home, workplace, shop, hospitality space or learning environment supports the people who use it. We read the space through its everyday routines: movement, privacy, comfort, access, storage and the relationship between activities. The aim is to identify what works, where friction occurs and which changes deserve priority.

We combine a conversation about your needs with a review of available plans, a site walkthrough and observations of how the space is used. Depending on the agreed scope, we consider layout, daylight and glare, ventilation, acoustic conditions, furniture, wayfinding and opportunities to make better use of existing space. User feedback helps distinguish assumptions from recurring problems.

You receive a clear assessment with annotated observations and a prioritised action plan, separating straightforward adjustments from changes that need design development or specialist investigation. The scope, access arrangements and deliverables are agreed before the audit. Structural testing, statutory certification and specialist environmental measurements can be scoped separately where needed.
