ABOUT US

Space Matters provides advice that is focused on achieving the best outcome for each client, whether that be a targeted refurbishment, a major change to the physical environment, or optimising how existing space is used and managed.

​

We are not aligned to any pre-conceived architectural or design outcome. Our advice and recommendations are independent, practical, and based on a deep understanding of operational needs, user experience and long-term business objectives.

​

Our recommendations draw on rigorous research, insight into the changing nature of work and learning, and extensive experience across workplace, education and community environments in a wide range of sectors and geographies.

​

We place strong importance on a consultative and collaborative approach. We work closely with clients and project teams to develop solutions that are practical, well considered and as future-ready as possible.

​

Julia Simmons, founder of Space Matters, has over 20 years experience providing strategic workplace and design advisory services.
