What does home mean to you?

That should always be the first question asked before beginning any design project. For us, home is where we return after a long day of work, after a restful vacation. It keeps us safe in a summer storm and it gives us peace when we need solitude. It’s where we gather, we bond, we thrive as our authentic self.

Over the past few years, we have changed how we live and how we live in our homes. We have developed new habits, created new routines, and reshuffled our priorities. We have become very familiar with our homes, using them in ways we never imagined, realizing that they are truly the hub to our existence.

Home is not just a place to plop down on a couch, feed our bellies and rest our heads. It is our office, yoga studio, restaurant, classroom, our place of healing, our pride and personality on display.

The way we live in our homes has changed, and we need to rethink home function to improve home living.
