Detail by Design

About

Detail by Design is an award-winning design firm specializing in evidence-based residential and workplace environments that support human health, vitality, and performance.

Through our proprietary WELLbuilt™ framework, we help homeowners and organizations understand how the built environment influences the people within it. Research continues to demonstrate that lighting, indoor air quality, acoustics, comfort, and our connection to nature directly affect stress, sleep, focus, cognitive function, productivity, and overall well-being.

Our work goes beyond creating beautiful spaces. We evaluate how environments are functioning for the people who live and work within them and provide practical, science-based strategies to create healthier, more supportive spaces.

For homeowners, our WELLbuilt Home Health Review identifies opportunities to improve comfort, wellness, and long-term quality of life.

For businesses, our WELLbuilt Workplace Performance Roadmap evaluates the workplace through a human-centred lens, helping organizations create environments that support employee well-being, focus, collaboration, and vitality while enhancing the overall workplace experience.

Whether designing a luxury kitchen, assessing an existing home, or helping businesses create healthier workplaces, our mission remains the same:

Creating environments where people can thrive—not just occupy.
