As an empath, your innate ability to feel deeply extends beyond the confines of your own being, shaping the way you interact with the world around you. This same care for the world around you should inform the design decisions you make when thinking about a new custom home.
A home is an incredibly complex structure that will have an impact on the environment, wildlife, and a ton of people along the way. From the craftspeople who manufacture the building products, to the contractors who assemble it, to the neighbor next door, a new home might require the efforts of hundreds of people along the way.
We design custom homes that take into account the livelihood of the people who inhabit them, and we strive to consider every other living thing it will impact along the way. Here are a few empathetic home design features that will help create a positive impact for everyone involved:
ETHICALLY-SOURCED BUILDING MATERIALS: Ethically sourced building materials in a custom modern home are invaluable for an empath because they align with their deep-seated values of compassion and mindfulness. Knowing that everything from the studs in the walls to the tiles on the floors were responsibly sourced with fair labor practices brings peace of mind, allowing them to feel connected to their surroundings without causing harm to others or the environment.
MODULAR / PRE-FAB CONSTRUCTION: Modular/prefab construction offers efficient, sustainable, and socially responsible building solutions. With modular construction, you can minimize disruption to communities and ecosystems, while also supporting ethical labor practices. This approach resonates with your desire to create a home that is both beautiful and also built with integrity and compassion.
BIRD-SAFE GLASS: In some landscapes, bird-safe glass will help protect the well-being for local bird populations, reducing the risk of collisions and promoting harmony between human habitats and nature. This thoughtful consideration reflects your empathy towards all beings, even those beyond your immediate awareness.
