A home isn't where you live. It's who you're becoming.

Conscious Home Design is built around a single idea: the place you call home should support the whole of you, not just the part of you that sleeps there.

The problem CHD exists to solve

Most homes are designed to shelter the basics: bedrooms, bathrooms, and a kitchen. The parts of you that want to create, rest deeply, raise a family, grow spiritually, earn a living, host the people you love, move your body, and become more fully yourself are usually left to fend for themselves.

CHD believes the home is the most important building type in the country because it is where the pursuit of happiness actually happens.
