NEWPORT, Ky., October 23, 2024 (VSNewsNetwork.com) – Emboss Design, a Newport-based architectural firm, has focused on integrating psychology-inspired principles into its architectural projects. The firm, formerly known as PCA Architecture, has built a reputation for creating spaces that enhance human experiences, using decades of psychological research to guide its designs.
According to the company, Emboss Design applies neuro-inspired design principles to create environments that promote learning, productivity, healing, safety, and community. “We look at architecture through the lens of neuro-inspired design—everything we create is driven by decades of psychological study and data. Our work isn’t just pretty and intuitive; it’s backed by research on how the brain responds in an environment to promote learning, productivity, healing, safety, and community”, said Emma Adkisson, CEO and Director of Design.
Emboss Design’s portfolio includes a variety of commercial and residential projects, ranging from breweries and distilleries to schools and office spaces throughout Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, and beyond. The firm’s approach combines deep technical knowledge with a playful, collaborative work environment, which Adkisson describes as essential to delivering projects that resonate with clients and communities.
“We’re a team of playful professionals who love to problem-solve together. Our office is our playground. We each bring unique perspectives and areas of expertise, so it’s fun collaborating to serve the community and clients”, Adkisson said.
One of the firm’s notable projects is the DBL Law Monarch Building in Covington, where Emboss Design tripled the size of a historic building to create a blend of old and new architecture. The building, which features exposed brick and modern metal panels, was designed to attract talent and serve as a community space. “The building factors in concepts of psychology-informed spaces,” Adkisson explained.
