Who we are.

Abstract black and white texture with wavy lines and grainy details resembling wood grain or marble.

Inspired by nature, we empower health, performance, and well-being with our most fundamental tool: connection.

Dayhouse Studio is a biophilic interior design firm based in Salt Lake City. We plan residential and commercial interiors around neuroaesthetics and how a room is used, so indoor spaces support health and self-care — complementary to medical care, not a substitute. Full-service locally and virtual elsewhere.
