Your Home Is an Active Participant in Your Life: Our 1 Million Cups Feature

We recently shared the Kensington Design House philosophy at 1 Million Cups in Charleston. In this short feature, we explore why a home should be viewed not as a passive backdrop, but as an active participant in daily health and well being.

Watch the presentation below to see how Elizabeth’s background in psychology pairs with Rich’s architectural expertise to address both visible and invisible elements in the home, from natural light and room circulation to air quality and sensory comfort.

Key Highlights from the Presentation

The Subconscious Impact

The Invisible Environment

Measuring light levels, thermal comfort, and air quality to actively support rest and restoration.

A Unified Practice
