SOMATIC ARCHITECTURE and DESIGN

Creating environments that fit.

When a home fits well life feels more connected and more enjoyable supporting the rhythms of daily life

Somatic Architecture begins with the relationship between feeling and fit, helping people create environments that align with who they are, how they live and what matters most to them.

Vision study:

Many people begin projects before they truly understand what they are trying to create.

They know they need:

more space

better flow

better connection to outside

more bedrooms

better kitchen

But underneath those requests are deeper questions

How do you want to live?

what matters most to you

what kind of life are you designing for

What should be preserved?

what should change?

You are not beginning with square footage, you are beginning with experience.

The deliverables:

Property assessment

Family needs

Lifestyle patterns

future vision

budget alignment

Real Estate Feedback

Preliminary opportunities

Design Principles

Before you design the house we help design the life the house is meant to support.

PRESENT

Restore the spirit - renew the home

You have fallen in love with a house, a neighborhood, a quality of light or privacy, the proportions, the atmosphere, the memory, the view, the character, the spirit of a property.

But the house no longer supports contemporary life. Deterioration, circulation, room assignments, Energy systems, foundations, Bathrooms ets all need more.

How cna you bring a house into the present and future while maintaining all the feeling and spirit you already love about the place.

How can modern materials and energy systems designed for longevity and comfort translate into a house resembling a time when these option were not available and still read as “original” in spirit.

Does the addition fit the original?

How to change the fit without loosing the feeling and spirit of the original.

PRESENT / FUTURE

New Projects

How can you create the next generation of environments in a changing climate and building practices. ?

Does this home fit the land?

Does the Architecture fit the climate?

Does the home fit the family

Does everyone feel like they belong there.?

Creating spaces where people feel like they belong.

The proportion of a room, the quality of light, the placement of objects, the relationship between openness and structure all create emotional and physiological responses within the body.
