Designing for Mind, Body and Spirit

Focus Area Wellness

Human health is economic health

The practice of interior design is not limited to functional and aesthetic drivers. Recent studies of the human brain have shown that our surroundings can influence our moods and mental health as well as our physical comfort. We design interiors to create healthy, welcoming, and comfortable spaces that encourage productivity and positivity, and in turn generate economic benefits.

At Page every member of our team approaches a project from the perspective of fully integrated interior architecture and interior design, including furnishings, art and accessories. Adding to that broad range of expertise, we are rigorous about working closely with the building designers to ensure that the exterior also supports how the building functions inside. We share insights into floor plate height, sizing and positioning of windows, discuss healthy ventilation systems, location of mechanicals infrastructure and vertical connections throughout the building among other elements. All of these have proven, quantifiable benefits on occupant happiness.

The interior layout and flow of spaces play a huge role in how space is perceived and in how variety and efficiency are achieved. We capitalize on views of nature, harness daylight to enhance brain health, optimize HVAC systems to improve indoor air quality and select materials with low VOC emissions for long-term wellness. Our FFE specialists develop ergonomic furniture solutions, functional fixtures, and complementary art programs that resonate with our client's culture, energy and the story they have to tell.

Offering more than location, location, location

Page supports a variety of pre-eminent multifamily companies in the U.S. As market pressures consistently increase to “up the game” by providing worry-free, high-value living experiences, we help meet resident desires for amenities that exceed standard expectations. Our designs are geared toward regional lifestyles, such as bicycle or kayak storage rooms, co-working spaces with a hospitality feel and high-speed internet, smart home features and more. We are a trusted partner in creating memorable amenity experiences and model apartments that stand out, both in person and on the rapidly-evolving online leasing world.

A multifamily location in the Texas Hill Country features locally crafted elements such as painted shiplap, end cut cedar walls framed in steel and oversized pocket doors. Commissioned photography that captures the yearlong process of winemaking tells a distinctly local story. An urban location features a dual lounge/lap pool and yet another has dog-friendly private poolside cabanas. Fitness centers in Sunbelt locations leverage daylighting to motivate residents to work out.

Creating a real-life example to show our clients

Every Page office is customized to fit its local needs and our Denver office is one of the most recent examples. Our newly imagined space on the top floor of the Republic Plaza skyscraper integrated our approach to workplace in every element, including a 270-degree view of the magical Rocky Mountains. Key to our design was leveraging daylighting, planning for growth, prioritizing flexibility in our floor plan and integrating healthy materials and acoustics. Our clients can see for themselves how well our space works, and visit our Materials Library to view finish options for their own projects.

The layout facilitates collaboration and provides more intimacy by organizing teams in quads, outfitting them with healthy sit-stand desks. Additional collaboration areas and smaller breakout spaces are also available for individual heads-down work. Integrating technology into our office was another priority, and we have a dedicated area for virtual reality equipment and demonstrations.

Testimonial

Creating happy places for people

“Factors that are essential to the design and impact occupant productivity and well-being include access to daylight and views to the outside. People crave connection with their surroundings and the ability to see views of a mountain range or even just the hustle and bustle of a nearby street contributes to their happiness and comfort.”
