About us
What turns a house into a home?
Imagine yourself waking up in a hotel room, just any room. Now imagine waking up in your home, your real, dream home. What's the difference?
A hotel room, regardless of its level of luxury, is just a part of a building and is no different from any other room in that building or any other hotel room in the world, for that matter. It is not your home.
A home is your own shelter, your safe haven, your place of comfort, a building so strongly personal and built around you that you do not even realise it is surrounding you at all times. Are you conscious of your clothes at every moment of the day? No. You may feel the clothes on your skin, but you only do so, when you come to think of it or if the clothes are uncomfortable.
The same applies to your home. You do not actually sense the building around you, unless it does not fit you. A real home is an extension of your body, which breathes, lives and pulses with you in such an intimate way that you do not even feel it. It is no wonder that psychologists across many schools of thought see a 'home' as a subconscious representation of you.
Our perception of the world is never absolute or abstract, detached from concrete circumstances, but always conditioned by the situation we live in.
In the same way as we usually experience the world through our clothing, since we mostly live dressed and therefore feel our clothes, whether we sit, walk, run or move, we also never experience the world without the buildings which we live in.
We wake up and we perceive the world outside as it is reflected in our bedroom, bathroom, living room and kitchen. We feel a rainy day as dimmed light in the kitchen. A bright, sparkling and crispy sunny day is a living room bursting with energy, a breeze of fresh our sweeping our sunlit bedroom.
If a house is too large or too small, if it does not live, breathe and change with you, it will be just a collection of bricks and mortar, with a window here or there, but it will not be your home, it will not be the outer layer of your body, your family, which it should be.
A home is a house built for you and your family. It is like a dress tailored to suit you.
From the moment we wake up until the time we go to bed, we experience the world around us through our senses, through our clothes and through the home we live in.
A home is part of the family, while a house is just any roof above our heads.
A house therefore needs to be built around an individual and it is far from easy to understand a person's pulse, their way of living and perceiving life.
Whenever I have to come up with plans for a house, I have to feel the lot of land, understand the owners, and feel their energy, their needs, their desires and then I can start developing their very own house. A house must be centred on its energy core and located on the lot at the right crossing of energy lines; otherwise it will be out of tune with the land and their owners.
I have seen many a couple divorce after moving into a house and trying for years to live in a building that was not designed for them, a house that was not their home.
Although I do not think the perfect home itself can guarantee you happiness, I am strongly convinced that a poorly designed house can certainly contribute to generating problems in your life. Feel free to contact me and let us discuss your desires. You will be surprised to discover how easy it is to start creating your own space of love.
