Gentle Places Principles

Gentle Places Principles

Gentleness is a design strategy. 

We treat sensory comfort as a foundation, not a feature.

Care scales. 

Whether it's a quiet corner or a street, small changes matter.

Neurodiversity is not a niche. We design for the edges, and it serves everyone.

Attention is political. We resist overstimulation, extractive environments, and productivity-at-all-costs spatial norms.

Data and feeling belong together. We combine research with narrative, measurement with atmosphere.

Every place tells a story. We help it tell one that includes more people, more gently.
