Inclusive Design
Enhancing Lives Through Design
We believe that design should be enabling rather than disabling – to support everyone and to create an inclusive environment.
At Buju Architects, we have a specialism in Inclusive Design and welcome projects of all scales. From renovations and extensions to new-build homes and larger housing developments.

Designing for Autism Spectrum Condition
Our team at Buju Architects work closely with you to deliver a holistic and professional service throughout all stages of your project. We work hard to design a caring and inclusive environment to ensure that every child reaches their full potential. Designing for Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC) starts with understanding the spectrum of conditions and anxiety around spaces. Design decisions can range from the layout and orientation of a building to specific taps in washrooms. Alongside 2D Architectural drawings, we provide 3D visualisations to help experience and coordinate the proposed scheme during the design process.
Designing for Dementia
Our designs pay close attention to effectiveness and efficiency but we always prioritise people. Our understanding of care addresses physical, mental, and social wellbeing — of patients, staff, and community alike. Through design, we help create a relationship between health and physical space in order to enrich the staff and patient experiences and improve outcomes in healthcare delivery.

Testimonials
“To have somebody understand when you talk about the way you currently live and the way you see yourself living is important”
“We organised a consultation, It was clear very quickly that Andy has an ‘eye’. Young and enthusiastic he quickly understood where we were coming from. He was asking all the right questions. He took the time to slowly and precisely look around the plot. I could almost hear the cogs whirring in his head, I knew instantly that he was the right person”
We have been working with Andy Wilde over the past few months regarding a site we have been developing and have found him to be extremely professional. He has been easy to contact and helpful with regards to advice and ideas. His speed and turn round of work is excellent and the use of drones was of enormous benefit. He has been inspiring and encouraging and we look forward to working with him on other new developments that we have planned.
A very personal project for the client as a potential retirement home. This house has been adapted for assisted living to be formed once the client has any difficulty moving around the building. A lift shaft has been added to the core of the building. There is level access points around the ground floor. Every door is adapted for wheelchair access for the client’s potential needs.
