Why Colourwired?
Designing spaces, stories and lives with colour.
For over 20 years, we have studied the importance of design for people with dementia and what is possible to transform care from the ordinary to extraordinary.
At Colourwired we have a unique approach to designing the dementia care environment, placing you at the centre of any design project. Our specialist consultants develop a model of care that reduces stress and maximises independence and wellbeing for all users.
Be at the forefront of dementia considerations at the beginning of your project.
Dementia design is becoming a more frontline subject for many organisations.
According to the World Alzheimer’s report 2020 - designing for people with dementia is a journey that must start and finish with dignity as we move from knowing WHY we design, to HOW.
