Ask a different question, get a different answer.

When we see people first, we start asking different questions and the decisions we make have exponential impact.

LBR Hygge Consulting Inc. is a cutting-edge architectural and environmental consultancy that specializes in guiding the design and improvement of buildings and environments to have positive impacts on people, nature, and the economy.

Human Well-being: We prioritize creating spaces that enhance the health, happiness, and inspiration of those who use them. Drawing from Harvard's Healthy Buildings research, we ensure buildings are more than structures; they are havens that boost the well-being and productivity of occupants. This includes features like natural light, ventilation, and biophilic design for a harmonious and uplifting atmosphere.

Environmental Focus: We believe in sustainability, striving to make each building a net-positive contributor to the environment. This involves producing extra renewable energy, minimizing groundwater use, and enforcing a zero-waste approach. Our goal is to for buildings to be self-sustaining ecosystems, significantly reducing carbon footprints and aligning to productive architecture standards.

Economic Impact: In addition to environmental and human benefits, we focus on generating real economic value. We achieve this by advising the design of buildings that enrich communities and the environment, fostering a cycle of growth and sustainability.

Adopting a proactive approach, we advocate for pre-design planning, which allows for the anticipation and prevention of potential physical problems in the built environment rather than reacting to issues post-construction. This foresight in design and planning ensures the longevity, resilience, and adaptability of buildings, aligning with our holistic vision of creating spaces that are beneficial on every level.

What is distinctive about our strategy?

In designing a traditional building environment, its all about productivity, maximizing human use per square foot. This is a classic example of what happens in design thinking. You are so focused on developing a solution, it often misses the whole mark.

ONE SIZE FITS NONE.
