About Best Spaces

Best Spaces™ is a research-backed framework for translating community priorities into design—and evaluating whether completed environments deliver on what matters most.

Through the Best Spaces™ Standard, projects follow a four-phase process that connects community engagement to design decisions and post-occupancy evaluation. The result is a traceable, measurable approach for understanding whether community priorities were meaningfully reflected in the finished environment.

Best Spaces introduces a complementary approach to building performance that places the people who use a space at the center.
