General Information

The information provided on this website by Sapien Spaces, operated by Monica Dabrowski as a sole proprietorship in British Columbia, Canada, is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. Sapien Spaces provides consulting relating to human-centered built environments, including considerations involving wellbeing, performance, longevity, environmental quality, materials, spatial planning, and the human experience of the built environment. Nothing on this website should be interpreted as a substitute for project-specific professional advice.

Scope of Services

Sapien Spaces provides consulting and advisory services intended to inform decision-making by private clients, developers, architects, designers, contractors, consultants, and other project stakeholders. Unless expressly stated in a separate written agreement, Sapien Spaces does not provide architectural, engineering, interior design, construction, medical, environmental engineering, legal, financial, or other regulated professional services. Where a project requires services from a licensed or regulated professional, clients are responsible for retaining the appropriately qualified professional in the applicable jurisdiction. Sapien Spaces recommendations are intended to complement—not replace—the professional judgment, drawings, specifications, approvals, testing, calculations, or certifications of architects, engineers, contractors, healthcare professionals, environmental consultants, or other qualified specialists.

Health, Wellbeing and Longevity Information

Sapien Spaces may discuss research and design considerations relating to health, wellbeing, human performance, recovery, comfort, sleep, air quality, water quality, lighting, acoustics, materials, movement, nature, technology, and longevity. Such information is provided solely in the context of the built environment and is not medical advice. Sapien Spaces does not diagnose, treat, cure, prevent, or provide medical advice concerning any disease, disorder, injury, or health condition. No information on this website or provided through Sapien Spaces consulting services should be used as a substitute for consultation with a physician or other appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

No Guarantee of Health or Performance Outcomes

Human health, wellbeing, performance, comfort, and longevity are influenced by numerous individual, environmental, behavioural, genetic, medical, and other factors. Accordingly, Sapien Spaces does not guarantee that any design recommendation, material selection, environmental strategy, technology, product, or other measure will produce any particular health, wellbeing, performance, comfort, productivity, recovery, or longevity outcome. Any references to potential benefits are intended to reflect available research or design principles and should not be interpreted as promises or guarantees of results.

WELL Building Standard and Third-Party Frameworks

Sapien Spaces may reference the WELL Building Standard, academic research, industry standards, publications, certification programs, organizations, products, technologies, or other third-party frameworks. Monica Dabrowski has completed training relating to the WELL Building Standard but does not represent herself as a WELL Accredited Professional. References to WELL or any other third-party organization, standard, framework, certification, or publication do not imply affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement, certification, or approval of Sapien Spaces unless expressly stated. Sapien Spaces is an independent consultancy.

Research and Evidence

Sapien Spaces seeks to draw from reputable scientific research, established standards, and professional guidance. However, research concerning human health and the built environment continues to evolve. Scientific findings may be preliminary, disputed, subsequently revised, or applicable only under particular circumstances. Sapien Spaces does not warrant that information presented on this website is complete, exhaustive, or permanently current. Where appropriate, project-specific recommendations should be independently evaluated by qualified professionals.

Products, Materials and Technologies

Sapien Spaces may discuss or recommend products, materials, systems, technologies, equipment, manufacturers, or suppliers. Unless expressly disclosed otherwise, such references should not be interpreted as guarantees regarding safety, efficacy, suitability, availability, regulatory compliance, durability, performance, or fitness for a particular purpose. Clients and their project professionals remain responsible for conducting appropriate due diligence and confirming that any product, system, material, or technology is suitable for the relevant project, jurisdiction, building code, climate, occupants, and intended use. Any commercial relationship, referral arrangement, sponsorship, or compensation associated with a recommendation will be disclosed where required by applicable law.

Building Codes, Regulations and Jurisdictional Requirements

Sapien Spaces works with clients and project teams internationally. Building codes, planning requirements, professional licensing rules, product standards, accessibility requirements, health regulations, environmental requirements, and other laws vary significantly by jurisdiction. Sapien Spaces does not represent that information or recommendations provided through this website comply with the laws, building codes, regulations, or professional requirements of every jurisdiction. Responsibility for confirming local compliance remains with the client and the appropriately licensed professionals engaged on the project.

International Services

Sapien Spaces is based in Canada and provides consulting services to clients and project teams internationally. The availability and scope of services may vary depending on the jurisdiction, project requirements, applicable laws, professional licensing requirements, sanctions, trade restrictions, insurance considerations, and other regulatory factors. Acceptance of an inquiry does not constitute acceptance of a project or create a consultant-client relationship. A professional relationship is established only when the parties enter into a separate written agreement.

No Consultant-Client Relationship Through Website Use

Accessing this website, submitting an inquiry, sending an email, downloading information, or communicating with Sapien Spaces does not by itself create a consultant-client, fiduciary, professional, or other advisory relationship. No project should rely on Sapien Spaces advice until the scope, responsibilities, limitations, fees, and other terms of engagement have been agreed to in writing.
