What is in Dayhouse Living Issue 2?

Dayhouse Living Issue 2 is Dayhouse Studio’s biophilic design magazine issue on design for mental health and healthier homes. Stories cover research and interiors for wellbeing, complementary to medical care — not a substitute. Based in Salt Lake City, we share science-backed ideas for the Therapeutic Home Environment and Healthy Dwelling.

Issue 2 — Design for Mental Health — gathers the stories already listed in this issue’s table of contents: Letter From The Editor, Healthy Dwellings, Design Tips for Creating a Mental Health Refuge, Pets as Biophilic Elements, Reimagining Arcadia House, Casa Tate, lighting for mood, school environments, trauma-informed design, retreats, the home assessment, and the Product and Resource List. Together they explore research and interiors for wellbeing as complementary reading alongside medical care — not a substitute.
