Panel Discussion: Creating neuro-inclusive spaces: Designing for comfort, choice and wellbeing

16 Sept 2026
Neuroplaces Conference, Protein Studios

A cross-disciplinary panel exploring how the physical environment can support different sensory, cognitive and accessibility needs. 

Bringing together perspectives from lighting, acoustics, flooring and spatial design, the discussion will explore how different elements of the built environment interact to shape comfort, usability and wellbeing — and how designers can create spaces that offer greater choice and support a wider range of users.

Key themes:

How lighting, acoustics, materials and spatial design combine to shape sensory experience

Designing for greater comfort, choice and control across different user needs

How flooring, texture and materiality can influence the experience of a space

Common design pitfalls when sensory considerations are treated in isolation

Practical approaches to creating more inclusive environments, from new build to retrofit
