#048 - Envirohacking - Designing for Human Behavior and Well-Being with Callie van der Merwe
Season 2 Episode 4
In this episode of Beyond Interior Design, host Marc Múskens reconnects with Callie van der Merwe, architect, thought leader, and originator of “envirohacking.”
Callie takes us on a powerful journey through the science of space—how our environments influence behavior, mood, and even healing. From redefining what it means to be a designer to crafting restaurants that make guests linger longer, Callie’s work blends neuroscience, behavioral psychology, and storytelling into design that moves people—literally and emotionally.
In this episode, Callie shares:
🧠 What it means to be an envirohacker
🏙️ Why architecture can heal—or harm—us
🔥 The science behind ceiling heights, candlelight, and heated seats
