How My Little Big Homes Differ

'The Little Big Home' is the name I give to my new healing home developments.  These homes differ in many ways—floor plan, construction materials, their purposeful absence of “smart” technology—but the characteristics that most differentiate them from conventional homes are these five items:

 

1.  Elimination of ducted air heating and cooling. Replaced with space-saving, more-responsive, water-based radiant systems;

 

2.  Dramatically better ventilation.  Indoor air quality is paramount in a post COVID world.  My homes feature vapor permeable walls and use design elements that help circulate air and eliminate the ducts that harbor germs and viruses;

 

3.  Floor plans that reflect a modern post-COVID lifestyle.  Kitchen and Russian Fireplace as the literal center of the home, no more formal dining room, and the elimination of the Living Room replaced by a Zoom Room or Away Room that doubles as a space for guests or home office;

​

4.  Significant reduction in toxic chemical-based building materials replaced with natural alternatives like wool, cork, hemp, and mineral paint and plaster finishes; and

 

5.  Reduced and shielded exposure to man-made electromagnetic fields.  We cannot escape the electro-smog that is part of a modern lifestyle, but we can mitigate many of these fields, and design bedrooms to be sleep sanctuaries that protect as well as help heal.

 

Market data confirm that healing homes command premium prices and maintain their value.  I have two floor plans available for examination via an in-person consultation and signature of a non-disclosure agreement. 

 

Please see my blog for upcoming posts on design details.  If this kind of home appeals to you, let’s talk.
