Follow a Lifestyle Schedule, Re-Design Your Living Space or Bring Recess Programming to Work. The Goal is to Live a Happier, Healthier Life.
Distinguish Your Space as a Certified Active Environment or Let us Design One.
Active Environment-“Built-in home and office stations that disguise exercise with actual
functioning furniture for families to stay active and healthy while keeping their same daily routines.”
Certified Active Environments
Follow these Three Standards
1. Functionally Rich Furniture
Swings, chairs and hammocks hang from exposed beams doubling as exercise equipment
Monkey Bars under lofts, down hallway or stairway to climb or hang items
Doorways with objects to push, pull, climb or lift in order to pass through
Strong Built-In Shelves hold functional items and sturdy enough to climb
Fireman’s Pole, climbing rope, aerial silks or climbing wall to stay busy
small or large Trampoline to wake the nerves & improve digestion
2. Space to Move
Sunken living room for convenience of getting up and down
Slides/Ramps for level changes and improved ankle mobility
Walk-in showers without doors or curtains encourage flow
strong and sturdy Desk/tables that Folds away into Wall
Floor made of spring foam that invites child’s play
3. Creative Surprises
hidden rooms under or behind common items always bring a smile
Fidget Boards come out of the floor or wall in standing areas (by sink or laundry)
sauna, steam room, Salt room or ice baths for environmental change
Library Lounge for reading and relaxing

Additional Considerations
Sleep: Multiple dark locations with a variety of material and levels
Nature: Bring the calmness of vegetation, fireplaces, sunlight and water indoors
Air: If fresh air is limited, consider filtration systems
Grow Room: Vertical garden area for herbs and small veggies
Storage: Visible / Open space (if you don’t use it, you don’t need it)
Decoration: Paint on the floors and walls phrases of motivation
Materials should be Responsibly Sourced and Environmentally Conscience
