Ep. 395: "Beyond Aesthetics" – How Multi-Sensory Design Transforms the Workplace with Raul Garcia-Moncada, IIDA, NCIDQ, LEED AP, WELL AP of BR Design Associates

Raul Garcia-Moncada, IIDA, NCIDQ, LEED AP, WELL AP is Principal & Director of Design at BR Design Associates where he is passionate about collaborating with real estate executives to develop strategies and resource plans that empower teams to achieve high-quality, sustainable results. Mike Petrusky asks Raul why he believes that good design is not just about aesthetics but is intrinsically linked to positive business outcomes. They explore innovation in workplace design and encourage leaders to embrace flexibility, adaptability, and prioritizing well-being in their organizations. Raul says that multi-sensory design which includes fragrance, lighting, and even influences from fashion and music, can subtly enhance the workplace experience and emotional connection for occupants. Hospitality and residential influences are shaping the evolution of workplace design, and technology can help measure space utilization, but understanding sensory impact often requires direct feedback from users. Cross-functional collaboration, particularly with HR, IT, facilities, and commercial real estate, is vital for successful workplace transformation, so Mike and Raul share the inspiration you will need to be a Workplace Innovator in your organization!
