BUILD Architecture Awards 2024 Neuroarchitecture is the principle of designing and constructing space to positively influence the mind and body. Factors such as natural light, colour, and spatial configurations have a tremendous impact on cognitive function and mood. As a modern practice, it’s not a wellknown concept, but it has its pioneers, and Co D-Sign Architecture is among them with its catalogue of healing spaces by people, for the people. Most Pioneering Neuroarchitecture Experts 2024 – Latin America & Best Completed Automotive Dealership Project 2024 (Latin America): Innovation Motos Motorcycle Dealer Co D-Sign Architecture Contact: Maria Patricia Lara Ocana Company: Co D-Sign Architecture Web Address: www.cod-sign.com Architecture has the power to influence those using a space in tremendous ways. Access to nature, stimulating colours, and seamless flow are conducive to feelings of calm and productivity. Co D-Sign is a family firm making waves in the industry by incorporating all this and more into their designs, and it’s known as neuroarchitecture, the technique of leveraging neuroscience for use in building spaces. The firm offers a comprehensive suite of architectural, interior design, and construction services including projects designed for both personal and business use. Its team works closely with clients to understand their needs, desires, and vision, and it’s driven by the expressions on their faces as the finished project is unveiled. The team believes that the space you live in is part of who you are, and that it should reflect the attitudes and interests of its inhabitants. Co D-Sign’s latest project was a health services institute in need of a full redesign. The colour palette, brand name, and logos required an overhaul, and the team was also asked to create unique wall designs. The firm took this challenge in stride, incorporating warm colours associated with joy and vibrancy, and merging them with cool colours typical of environments within the industry. Co D-Sign breathed new life into the institute for the first time in 15 years. Its work for the community was overshadowed by lacklustre facilities, and the firm was glad to change that, put patients at ease, and exceed the client’s expectations. In 2024, the firm takes pride in one of its signature projects in neuroarchitecture, a motorcycle shop built with sustainability in mind. It’s been designed according to passive and active bioclimatic strategies to make the most effective use of energy, balancing the principles of ecofriendly design with the firm’s signature neuroarchitecture style. The firm sees 2024 as an opportunity to explore new markets, expand abroad, and bring that style to an international client base. Co D-Sign’s internal culture is all about approaching every project with a fresh pair of eyes and the specificity clients deserve. Each new project becomes the team’s baby, which they treat with all the care and attention it requires, nurturing it from beginning to end with the personal touch. Regular meetings are held to ensure every project is meeting goals, going according to the client’s vision, and that every team member has the chance to provide unique input. At present, the construction industry in Colombia is becoming stagnant according to the firm. The team sees few investments in new interior design and construction projects, and it feels that the industry lacks promotion, meaning potential clients don’t see the benefits in new designs or redesigns. The firm is part of the solution to this problem. Potential clients show exceptional interest in neuroarchitecture, seeing it as a fresh, innovative approach to Colombian architecture. Co D-Sign is bringing awareness to the country’s construction scene one project at a time. The firm looks forward to every new project and to seeing the continued rise of neuroarchitecture for improved physical and mental health. The spaces we use every day have a tremendous impact on our wellbeing, so it’s important that they’re designed by those who understand the relationship between our health and our environment. Co D-Sign Architecture is thinking to the future by using neuro design to heal people, and it seems to be catching on. “We want to see comfort, happiness, relaxation, harmony, and peace in the face of our clients when they see the final product. When we design, the needs of our clients and our expertise get aligned to create a final product they will enjoy and remember for life.” “We feel so proud of it, because with our designs, we’re contributing to the wellbeing of the direct users of the project. Our work is to make the place inspire the person, so the person never wants to leave the place.”
