The Mindwell Philosophy

Our founder, Gabrielle Kozhukh-Joo, has positioned Mindwell Design at the forefront of the luxury neuroaesthetics design movement in the Greater Toronto Area. This unique approach integrates neuroscience, environmental psychology, biophilia, and the science of color to create spaces that go beyond beauty, aiming to enhance the lives of our clients through the establishment of lasting habits and rituals.

Understanding Client Needs

Recognizing the significant impact of our design decisions on the health and happiness of our clients, Mindwell Design employs an extensive seven-step intake process. This meticulous approach allows us to peel back the layers of each client’s life and preferences, ensuring that the spaces we create not only support a healthy lifestyle but are also deeply functional and personalized.

Designing for Health and Well-being

Through this in-depth discovery process, we have found that many of our clients, burdened by the stresses of their professional lives, prefer environments that are serene and neutral. These preferences guide our design strategy, allowing us to craft custom sensory experiences that incorporate tactile materials, nature-inspired elements, and features designed to invoke peace and relaxation.

Small Gestures, Big Impact

At Mindwell Design, we believe in the power of subtle cues to encourage healthful behaviors. From integrating spaces conducive to physical activity to using artwork as reminders to stay hydrated, our designs are attentive to the minute details that can significantly influence the daily habits of our clients.

Lighting: The Mood Modifier

Understanding the critical role of lighting in setting the mood and supporting the circadian rhythm, we prioritize the creation of layered lighting schemes that adapt to the natural progression of the day. Our designs aim to facilitate a gentle transition from the invigorating blue tones of morning light to the calming warmth of evening light, promoting a harmonious balance between activity and relaxation.

Crafting Health-Promoting Environments

Our mission at Mindwell Design extends beyond the aesthetics of luxury design. We are deeply committed to understanding the nuanced needs of our clients, enabling us to create environments that not only look beautiful but also promote healthier outcomes and enhance the quality of life for those who inhabit them.

As Gabrielle Kozhukh-Joo aptly puts it, “If clients knew what function they wanted in their homes, they wouldn’t call us.” At Mindwell Design, we take pride in our ability to uncover those needs and translate them into spaces that reflect and support the well-being of our clients.
