FreeSpace Design believe that we are all planet architects.

Each one of us leave footprints on this planet. We have a choice to make our imprints positive, or polluting. We can choose what paint fumes we breathe when decorating (wall paint releases toxins for up to 5 years), what floor to walk on (off-gassing or not), what glass, timber and cladding to use, what furniture to purchase (sustainable, recyclable, plastic etc) in short, whether our structural and interior designs promote health or not.


Few materials are inert or positive and there is a lot of sophisticated greenwash in the built environment. After years of research, FreeSpace Design London are specialists in safe, non-toxic, circular-economy-ready products for sustainable UK interior design and architecture, all verified sustainable and Cradle to Cradle Certified® healthy. So, your air quality from these products is as pure as possible and the products are made without slavery in the system, all third party verified socially fair, plus they have been rigorously assessed for material health, product circularity, climate protection, water and soil stewardship.


FreeSpace Design is pro people and pro planet - a uniquely committed Interior Architecture practice that promotes healthy interior architecture for beautiful, responsible homes, offices and commercial interior design projects. This starts with our material choices. Since buildings are a collection of materials, so our structural safety, material safety and design arrangement are all vital considerations. Indoor air quality, lighting optimization, views, thermal comfort, windows and acoustics, among other choices, all collectively impact the health and value of our projects and they are all materials driven.


Ethical design principles underpin FreeSpace, so naturally, our design consultancy is committed to introducing clients to Cradle to Cradle Certified® products. Cradle to Cradle Certified® is the global certification standard for safe, circular and responsibly made products.   We don't believe in slightly healthy, if it's not healthy it has toxins. These are cumulative in nature and in our bodies, so we steer our client's to healthy interior choices because we spend (on average) over 90% of our time indoors, so it is vital that interior materials are safe, both for our use and for the product’s next use.


Designing responsibly does not mean blowing the budget. In many cases, ‘sustainable’ design represents a real financial saving because the certified products are usually best in class and outlast traditional competitive products. Little wonder our sister company, 540 WORLD which handles infrastructure and large commercial projects have had such success with the Environment Agency using Cradle to Cradle Certified® materials. Either way, materials cost, so we can design carefully now, or our children and planet will pay the price later. Beautiful, healthy design does not need to cost the Earth.
