Ideas at Play: How Adults Can Design for Children
Caddis Collaborative embraces the actively evolving field of human-centered design. Read our five-part blog series to learn how and why we focus on human-centered design and how we are incorporating what neuroscience teaches us about how design choices affect the human experience of the built environment, creating housing for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, designing for children, and designing for those who have experienced trauma. We encourage you to join us to move forward to a more inclusive, belonging way of being and living.

Neuroscience and Architecture: What Science Teaches Us About Designing Buildings for Mental Health and Well-Being
"The work we’re doing is fascinating, but I’ve also been so enlivened by the Caddis office and the Caddis team. The office, located in Boulder, is within a beautifully designed mixed-use neighborhood site, incorporating many of the neuroscience and architecture principles that have come to be so important to me."
