Biological Brief Studio Snoop Enquire

A home designed around how your family's bodies work.

The Biological Brief reads how each person in a household sleeps, rests, moves and recovers, and turns it into a brief an architect can design from.

How it works

Three steps, from the family to the drawing board.

01Everyone answers

Each adult and each child answers privately, in their own words.

02We read the biology

Studio Snoop reads the answers through the nervous system, hormones and the body clock.

03The architect designs

The design team receives the conditions the house has to deliver, and why.

What you receive

A private, living brief for your household and your design team.

The day, room by room

Where each person needs to be, from waking to sleep.

Where needs clash

The moments one person's calm is another's noise, and how the house resolves them.

The non-negotiables

What the design must deliver, agreed with the family.

Spatial strategies

Drawn ideas for the architect, each tested against the biology.

Biology sets the conditions.Light, sound, air, temperature, movement and nature, set by the people who will live there.
The architect keeps the authorship.The brief says what the house must achieve, never what it must look like.
Every family stays private.Each brief is seen only by its household and its design team.
