What do you actually do so that my house will feel like a home?
A house starts to become a home when it fosters relaxation and productivity, and just makes us feel good about living, working, or visiting there. A house becomes a home when it nourishes our soul, our heart, our brain, our energy, and our highest functioning. Because we live in three dimensions, I invite you to start thinking and feeling in three dimensions, to explore the difference between a “room and a space“. Beyond the flat-two-dimensional, square foot influenced floor plan is the 3D reality of:
- “Negative space”: creating a wider whole out of both what is present and what is empty…
- Where a room already falls naturally into “sub-spaces” and “implied sub-spaces” that might be either thwarting or supporting desired behavior and performance…
- What parts of the house already feel treasured, even sacred—and how to spread that powerful positivity into the rest of the room, the rest of the building, and the world beyond.
In collaboration with you, I will often provide simple, no-to-low cost, on–the-spot revisions that immediately encourage new and more positive behavior patterns. The results are often astounding and immediate!
What’s it like to work with me?
The process starts with a walk-through of the space, either on-site or on-line. My approach is to remove any assumptions about what activities take place in which space, start by thinking about what you need to accomplish—I call this “inside-out” approach to design—and then determine the ideal location for each activity, and how to make it as suitable as possible. Bringing skills in architectural and interior design, behavioral design, psychoneuroimmunology – PNI , the ancient art and science of placement, counseling, and other disciplines into play, my unique approach focuses directly on you and your needs. Typically, the end result is a much more harmonious space that both soothes the soul and facilitates the work you want to get done.
