Evidence & References

Every scientific claim published by Sabina Malikova Design Office cites the primary sources below — WHO and IARC documents and peer-reviewed studies. Studio outcome figures (e.g. sleep quality +38%) are the studio's own post-occupancy measurements and are always labelled as project data, not peer-reviewed research.
