BDP Quadrangle
The Project
BDP Quadrangle’s studio at The Well is a revolutionary studio designed by Human Space’s commitment to inclusivity, wellness, and accessible design. As BDP’s inclusive design practice, Human Space guided the creation of a people first environment across 40,000 sq. ft. and two floors in downtown Toronto. The studio offers diverse workspaces, from collaborative neighbourhoods and focus zones to private nooks with extensive city views that are all designed to support comfort, connection, and choice.
Human Space played an essential role in embedding wellbeing into the daily experience of the space. Features include the Oasis, a dedicated wellness space, a circadian rhythm adaptive smart lighting system, ergonomic furnishings, and quiet zones that support neurodiverse ways of working. The result is a work environment that prioritizes mental, physical, and emotional health that empowers people to perform at their highest level.
Located within a vibrant, transit connected community, the studio also serves as a testbed for inclusive and sustainable design innovation. It has achieved WELL Platinum certification, the highest distinction awarded by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI), the studio reflects the leadership of Human Space and the Green Team in advancing health, sustainability, and operational performance. From material reuse and upcycling to Red List-free finishes and circular economy principles, Human Space ensured every decision aligned with a broader commitment to environmental and human health.
