What is NeuroArchi ?
We spend 90% of our time in buildings. Yet most of these spaces are designed without a deep understanding of their users.
How can we build for humans when we don’t understand how they function? How can we create suitable spaces if we ignore how our brains perceive, feel, and interact with the environment? It is urgent that professionals integrate this knowledge to design buildings that better meet people’s needs. Equally, it is urgent that individuals and clients demand their spaces be designed as effectively as possible.
For many years, available scientific knowledge has made it possible to design—with science—what intuition alone cannot guess.
Our approach finally provides an answer:
Combining expertise in neuroscience with architecture to create spaces that truly address human needs—physiological, cognitive, and unconscious—both those we express and those we don’t even realize we have.
Individuals / Businesses
Neuro-architectural needs analysis and application. Goal: Enhance your living space (sleep, stress, health, sense of ownership, etc.) and/or optimise your workspace (focus, creativity, sales, impulse, etc.).
Professionals
For architects, urban planners, and public institutions – Design spaces that meet the public’s real needs: studies, perception and design bias analysis, new user consultation methods, and integration of scientific findings into architectural and/or urban design.
Training / Research
For professionals seeking to master human-centred design through science. For individuals who want to learn and apply these principles themselves. Academic teaching and lectures. Independent research lab conducting fundamental and applied studies. Conferences – Workshops
About Us
By deeply understanding humans—both their expressed and unexpressed needs, cognitive processes, and behaviours—we help design spaces, homes, and neighbourhoods that truly serve those who inhabit them.
Founded by Dr. Marina Russo Schtcherbakoff Kodakoff, a pioneer with a PhD in neuroscience and architecture, our agency is the first to offer science-based professional expertise in optimising architecture and urban planning.
66% of users do not perceive that buildings are genuinely designed for them.
With over 16 years of experience and research, we help individuals, professionals, and local authorities turn their projects into human-centred spaces, using an objective and scientific approach.
The beauty of a building is not measured by its appearance, but by how it improves the lives of those who use it.
Inspired by the thinking of Renzo Piano, architect.
