In 1994 Alex had an almost fatal motorbike crash and spent a long time in hospital. The environment was functional, but poorly-designed, especially for the mental health aspects of recovery.
So, having experienced the effects of bad design personally, Alex promised himself, when he recovered, to place an emphasis on wellbeing in his designs to help other people feel better.
Therefore, ACA’s mission is to design happier and healthier experiences for anybody that interacts with their buildings.
