Dream Peater Housing?
-
Imagination only, what is the peatiest house possible? What elements (psychology, biology, personal philosophy) can we include to design such a house? Just using imagination.

My crib

Personally, and supposing money and (re)location are not a problem :
-High ceilings
-Cool in the summer, keeps warm in the winter
-Around 3 or 4k ft altitude.
-Close to running streams or waterfalls.
-Not isolated, not suburban. Ideally in/close to an old town that's walkable and highly dense in population.
-By far, apart from ventilation and good lighting, I think a house must be an "organised chaos". Objectmaxxing aligns with peaty principles. Minimalism is, I think, only suitable for certain specific temperaments. (Thinking some north European Protestants and the like). -
@Caray Lol you are just describing Hitler's crib.

I live in hot humid florida. Best you could do here would be on a small hill with a on property spring to cool off in. Growing citrus and fruits in a greenhouse. Cracker style house

Ok, here is some of what I think one should value:
- Silence.
- Many sun hours.
- Non-polluted.
- In nature and not in an urbanized area.
- A great view, which includes water of some kind. Much science supports that we have much better health if we have water in view throughout the day as it lowers stress and signals access of resources.
- Good humidity/temprature.
- Easy to upkeep both in handy work and cleaning.
- Open atmosphere with high ceilings and combined rooms. This will increase the feeling of owned space.
- Close to work, school, family, Grocery store, and church.
- good hiking trails close by.
- A home gym.
- Bath tub, sauna, & and outside hot tub.
- No TV.
- Library with a good place to read.
- good kitchen space.
- Cozy place to serve food and relax.
- A piano.
- Shielded areas from the rest of the world. Preferable many trees not to far from the house.
- Higher altitude is better.
- Good lightning.
- Bedroom that is easy to keep cold and dark.
- In an area with low criminality.
- A garden with great potential.
- A rich animal life.
-
Some things that I haven’t seen mentioned yet
- Grounded floor
- Made with mold resistant materials
- Perched on a hill with great views
- Lots of natural light (good orientation to sun, multiple large sunroofs)
- Clean, independent water source
- Local and national government that leaves you alone
-
@Lovesickhs18 Basically just a cathedral with a big garden in the high mountains.
-
In nature, little distance to places where you have to go, and a great sense of owned space seems to be the key to a great dwelling.

I like simple architecture. Calm, owned, open space, with a great view is conducive to health. A dwelling should be the minimum size needed. Excess is overwhelming. Houses should encourage outdoor activity. A home must be restful too. Homes should bring consolation, and foster growth.
-
Dwelling without water in sight is terror. You want to signal abundance to your unconscious. I think a barren territroy leads to stress. Asymmetry is also stressful. You gain both peace and confidence from order. A house to raise a family in, should be stout.
-
Does an austere landscape lead to more solipsism? people who live by the sea seems more open-minded and social than people in the dessert.
Another thing I have noticed, is that people now move to urban areas in the hope of earning enough money so they can buy a villa to get shielded from people.
-
Human scaled city, high density, high altitude, warm and sunny climate, good local food, embedded in nature, no cars or other noise pollutants
-
@API-Beast A tremendous post. Personally, I would like lower density, while having a dense center for work and necessities. The value of sun and silence are of great importance. I would also prefer to live with the sea rather than at a high altitude; although most peaters would not agree with this sentiment.

-
I think a house should be designed with a basement or something similar that can trap carbon dioxide, since it's heavier than air and sinks
-
Made of earthen materials; surrounded by family, children, and plant/animal life; walking distance from work and community.
Basically a medieval shire.
Fundamentally it must be beautiful and fulfill subconscious aesthetic needs.Plants that can aromatize the air near you, have some cool scientific benefit.
