My mission is to rethink homes and property from first principles, designing spaces that work with human biology, natural systems and the deeper drivers of how we live. In this video, I take on a common suburban layout where the sun comes from the street side of the block and the backyard sits in shade. That means the front of the house (the garage, the entry, the spare rooms) soaks up all the daylight, while the living spaces you actually use are stuck on the dark side. I'll show you why this kind of plan disrupts the circadian signals your body relies on to feel awake, sleep well and function properly. Then I'll rebuild the home from first principles so the same block becomes a home that actually supports wellbeing. If you're planning a renovation, new build or buying, this will help you avoid the common design traps and think about your home differently, not just in terms of layout but how it can support your health and energy. 00:00 Intro: It's not you, it's your house 01:17 Reading the plan 01:33 The square plan trap 01:54 Why your backyard is always dark 02:14 What this does to your body 03:10 Tearing it up 04:21 The pinwheel move 05:35 The front yard nobody uses 07:03 The new plan 11:19 What about climate?
