THE POWER OF DESIGN
• Define visual extents &
occupant pathways
• Design 3 visual sequences
• Visual hierarchy: Choose one
big move
CREATE EXPERIENCES

You control the progression of
geometries, textures, orientation
and brightness – which impacts
how quickly, loudly, happily your
occupants move through the
spaces.
