Neurodivergent-Friendly Design: How to Build Spaces That Support Your Brain

Pablo Lambrechts, Architect and Director at L+ Architects, joins
Ben to explore something most of us feel but rarely question -
the impact our environment has on our nervous system.


Drawing on his work designing neurodiversity-informed spaces
(including Google HQ), Pablo explains how light, sound, layout
and materials can either support regulation or quietly work
against it. 


This isn’t about aesthetics - it’s about how spaces shape
behaviour, focus and wellbeing. Together, they unpack biophilic
design, and why many schools, workplaces and homes are
unintentionally disabling for neurodivergent people. 


Pablo also shares simple, practical changes that can make an
immediate difference, without big budgets.

The Hidden 20% is a charity founded by AuDHD entrepreneur, Ben
Branson.


Our mission is simple: To change how the world sees
neurodivergence.


No more stigma. No more shame. No more silence.


1 in 5 people are neurodivergent. That’s 1.6 billion of us - yet
too many are still excluded, misunderstood, or left without
support.


To break the cycle, we amplify voices, challenge myths, and keep
showing up. Spotlighting stories, stats and hard truths. Smashing
stereotypes through honest voices, creative campaigns and
research that can’t be ignored.Every month, over 50,000 people
turn to The Hidden 20% to feel safe, seen and to learn about
brilliant brains.


With your support, we can reach further, grow louder, and keep
fighting for the 1 in 5 who deserve more.

Be part of our community where great minds think differently.
