Methods. The issue has been examined in the context of the use of neuro-linguistic programming tools, from the point of view of which the study of the experience of individual interaction with the spatial environment is of particular practical interest. Along with general scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, and generalisation, the authors of the article apply interdisciplinary and systematic analysis, which makes it possible to use knowledge and methods of various disciplines to achieve the main objective. Results. The findings indicate that the perfect solution of individual requests in the design of a personal environment project is possible only after a detailed study of a person’s psychological type.
