What is Second Place? Second Place has taken different forms over time, but ultimately, it’s the idea of bringing together a number of progressive design concepts into a separate room, home addition or a small, detached space. It’s our supposition that home design at this scale is about to get very interesting. We are seeing the combination of the digital and physical world, and now the merging of our work and personal lives. At Second Place, we discuss topics ranging from ADU’s home architecture, remote work and smart home/sustainable technology with the intent to make your space more efficient and your life less cumbersome. This in turn allows people to focus on the things that are truly important, their family, their goals, and their personal, emotional and spiritual growth as an individual.
Ergonomics is the discipline of fitting the task to the user. Good design is far from being a solely visual art. We place a high emphasis on health and well- being. In our posts, we discuss methods for laying out and organizing the workspace as well as ways to self-assess your space for optimal comfort and efficiency.
The future of architecture will be an amalgam of both physical and digital realities. IOT (Internet of Things) technology will be a major part of that future. We will work to brainstorm new ways to integrate devices to create a smart space that makes your Second Place more secure and your lifestyle more efficient.
