Discover the details of a home that fits your tastes, values, goalsand lifestyle. Clarify what matters most before you begin. Home Ergonomics: Designing Homes to Fit the User's Experience In a world where every product is designed to fit the human mind and body, why are our smart phones more intuitively designed than our homes? Why are there no cost effective ways to identify compatible choices for each individual about what is often our largest investment? Your home should fit the life you want to live. It's an ecosystem that supports your entire family and should be designed to fit the behavior, values, goals and emotional needs of all its inhabitants. Your Emotional Architecture Neuroscientists estimate we are unaware of as much as 95% of the choices our brains make each day. Similarly, much of how we relate to our environment is dominated by decisions we made, and points of view we developed, as children. We are often unaware that our current experience of a living space is influenced by our past. But associations buried in our subconscious can powerfully influence our decisions about the world around us. We call these emotionally-charged memories of living spaces your emotional architecture. Like fingerprints, they are different for each of us. It's simple, really. If you and the professionals you hire can identify how your brain responds to the features of a home environment, together you can predict the living space most likely to make you feel safe, self-expressed, and comfortable. You can also save time and money, headaches and heartaches. Clarify your priorities about your home before you buy, design, build, remodel or recedorate. Good planning makes good projects. Designing the Life You Want We believe it is possible to uncover much of the wind, weather, geology and terrain of your emotional architecture and use that knowledge to inform the creation of living spaces that empower, even heal, you and those who share your home. Each of us is already engaged in the process of creating our lives each day though we may not realize it. We blame our cirumstances, unaware that our attitudes and points of view are directing our decisions and building our reality. The reality we call "home" is no different. Every hour of every day, your home environment subtly alters your experience of life. At the same time you alter it to represent your view of yourself. Becoming aware of these facts helps you create a living space that is nurturing for you and your family.
