CRD Home is a space for exploring well-being, creativity, and belonging through the metaphor of a home. Each room reflects a different aspect of daily life: rest, renewal, nourishment, and connection. It invites reflection on how your routines and environments support your well-being.
This is also a welcoming space. Like being invited into someone's home, the intention is not to prescribe choices but to offer comfort, inspiration, and care. You are encouraged to take what is useful, leave what is not, and adapt what resonates with you. Through mutual exchange, I hope to learn from others as well, gaining insight that supports my own well-being and creative expression.
In today’s climate, CRD Home also aims to foster a sense of safety and community. It offers a quiet place to return to, reflect, and consider what it means to live with care.

Why I Created CRD Home
The idea of home has never felt fixed. Moving often and navigating change shaped my understanding of belonging in quiet and complex ways. Over time, I came to see home not as a place, but as a feeling — something created through care, clarity, and intention. CRD Home grew from that realization. It began as a personal space to explore what it means to feel grounded and to live with purpose. It is a working model for intentional living, shaped by the metaphor of a home.
Along the way, I began to think more deeply about space, not just as a physical structure, but as a layered experience. Physical space supports comfort and clarity. Psychological space creates room to reflect, rest, and process. Social space holds connection, trust, and shared care. Sensory space influences our perception through light, texture, sound, and stillness. Temporal space gives shape to rhythm and routine. Negative space, the unfilled and the quiet, helps create balance.
Influenced by the spatial philosophies of Judd, Ando, Zumthor, Pawson, and Chipperfield, CRD Home explores how these different dimensions of space can support well-being. Here, architecture is not only a structure. It becomes a rhythm, a ritual, and a restoration. I reflect on how space and intention can serve as tools for care and support.
This is minimalism as care. Not more, just enough.
