7to53 We create sensory-rich, inspirational, and supportive, and neurodiverse spaces that embrace, empower, and instruct.

Founded and directed by Michelle Wagensberg- Architectural and Interior Design Technologist (Israeli License), SMArtichnun was created to maximize the potential of individuals with special sensory needs. SMArtichnun believes that optimizing the physical built environment affects positive change in the behavior and well-being of all individuals, but is especially critical when creating a building t

From a passive transit zone into an active, engaging, and regulating environment:
This interactive sensory installation is designed to do exactly that. By blending tactile exploration, biophilic elements, and dynamic lighting, we’ve created a space that naturally encourages children to explore, interact, and move.
Instead of just walking from point A to point B, students are invited to engage their senses as they transition between classes:

Tactile Engagement: A dynamic, two-sided sequin tower offers immediate visual and tactile feedback, inviting hands-on interaction.
Biophilic & Interactive Growth: Integrated hydroponic towers and living moss structures bring nature indoors, introducing natural textures, grounding scents, and visual warmth.
Textural Architecture: Varied wood-block cladding provides a grounding, structural texture that begs to be touched.
Dynamic Lighting: Overhead truss-mounted colored spotlights create a playful interplay of light and shadow, defining the zone and drawing children forward through the space.

By designing for the senses, we can create therapeutic, sensory-rich environments right in the middle of everyday school architecture—encouraging positive movement, focus, and emotional regulation.

I have been developing ways to transform the challenge of the (sometimes) temporary "caravan classrooms" into an asset, by working with the spaces between the structures, for use as grounding and enriching usable (and later on re-usable) sensory space. If anyone knows of a school that might benefit, please let me know :)

Every big challenge brings a new opportunity.

Many newly founded schools - and those struggling with overcrowding - rely on temporary trailer buildings as an interim solution. Yet what begins as a short-term fix often remains in place for years. Though these modular units may not provide an ideal learning environment, their layout creates a unique opportunity: the spaces between. These in-between areas can become connective tissue, thoughtfully designed to link the individual trailers while offering places for enrichment, reflection, and emotional self-regulation.
