MindBeing is a plug-in concept that helps architects measure how their building designs impact mental wellbeing, using environmental simulation and spatial data. The project is currently seeking investment to develop and scale the platform.
Willa’s Role: Product & InterfaceDesign, Brand & Strategy
Project Length: 3 months
Current Stage: Research, Define, Ideation, Protyping, Testing, Launch.
Target Users: Architects and developers who values spatial mental health working on early-stage building design
The Problem
Mental health is rarely considered in architectural design due to lack of simulation tools. Existing certifications only address wellbeing in general terms, with no spatial feedback available during early concept stages.
When architects design a building with the environment in mind, there’s a clear process: run a simulation, and if the budget allows, bring in a sustainability consultant.
But when it comes to designing for mental wellbeing? Unless you can afford a mental health advisor (most can’t), you're left to figure it out alone.
Second, a BIM plug-in built from real project data collected in previous phase, enabling architects to run in-tool assessments during early design stages. Exactly when design intent is more flexible.
Solutions
MindBeing addresses this gap with a two-phased solution:
First, a closed beta software that generates structured mental health reports, providng architects and clients with credible, expert-informed insights without hiring a consultant.
This approach brings domain expertise, scalability, and low friction feedback into the architect’s workflow, empowering them to design for mental wellbeing as intuitively as they do for daylight or energy.
