Chris also serves as programming consultant for other architecture and interior design firms, and refers clients to design professionals he thinks “get it”. If you are planning a project, email us and Mr. Travis will review your project personally. If we can’t help you, we will try to help you find someone who can. Contact Truehome about design projects A Practical, Cost-effective Way to Get What you Want It’s the same with any important project. The better the planning, the better the result. Buying, designing, remodeling or building a home is not just about tile selections and plumbing fixtures. The focus of the Truehome approach is creating a space that actually “feels like home” and fits the life the client wants to live. “Home” is an experience, or more accurately, a suite of experiences. That experience is in your head and heart. It’s unique for each of us. If you want to be effective with your time and money, you and the professionals you hire must take these powerful psychological design or purchase criteria into account. But how can you do that? Designs informed by your Emotional Architecture A psychological “fingerprint” already exists inside your brain that cues your experience of home. We call it your “emotional architecture.” These reactions are automatic, often unconscious. But they determine how you respond to your most intimate environment. Your personality and your past emotional experience drive most of your decisions about your home, whether you are aware of it or not. When you begin your project, if you and your team don‘t understand these deeper needs and motivations, headaches and heartaches often result. Christopher Travis and his Truehome Workshop pioneered the practice of partnering with wellbeing professionals during the early stages of a design process. Why? Because it allows him to reliably design homes that enhance his clients’ wellbeing and experience of life. Isn’t that the point of creating a new living space? Managing Stress and Conflict Everyone has heard about, or experienced, projects gone bad. Conflict in relationships and other stresses happen so often, many people assume such issues are a given in home projects. But that’s not true. It can be a profoundly positive experience when managed properly. The Truehome approach turns project planning into a personal growth experience that can be rewarding in itself. It gives you opportunity not only to change your living space,but to transform your relationships and life fexperience for the better. Contact Truehome about design projects
