Neurodivergent-Friendly Design: How to Build Spaces That Support Your Brain

Pablo Lambrechts, Architect and Director at L+ Architects, joins Ben to explore something most of us feel but rarely question - the impact our environment has on our nervous system.

Drawing on his work designing neurodiversity-informed spaces (including Google HQ), Pablo explains how light, sound, layout and materials can either support regulation or quietly work against it.

This isn’t about aesthetics - it’s about how spaces shape behaviour, focus and wellbeing. Together, they unpack biophilic design, and why many schools, workplaces and homes are unintentionally disabling for neurodivergent people.

Pablo also shares simple, practical changes that can make an immediate difference, without big budgets.
