About 1 — Good

Hi - Jade Hurst here, founder + designer.

I started Good_Space in 2020 after years in marketing and running my own communications agency. I’ve always been drawn to spaces that feel good - the kind that shift your mood, calm your system, and invite you in. Eventually, I realised I wanted to create those immersive spaces myself.

My entry into design wasn’t traditional, and that’s become my strength. I paired my intuitive design process with study in building science, human health, and environmental wellbeing - earning accreditation through the International WELL Building Institute as one of the earliest in New Zealand.

Today, I work with architects, builders, and clients across Aotearoa to design spaces that are beautiful, healthy + deeply supportive to live in. My approach blends aesthetics, evidence-based wellness design, and conscious material selection to shape environments that restore + connect.

Good_Space exists to redefine what “good design” means in New Zealand - creating spaces that enhance wellbeing in a very real + tangible way.

“Designing spaces to look great wasn’t enough for me; the purpose of Good_Space needed to be bigger and more compelling.

There’s been a huge shift in the way we view our spaces, the way we build and what it means to be truly ‘well’. Building for human and environmental health will soon be common place, because it’s common sense.”
