HØMESTEAD

Nashville-based development studio creating homes at the intersection of architecture, wellness, and longevity.

Homes that heal.

We build spaces for how the human Brain and Body respond to an environment.

  • Your home is constantly communicating with your nervous system. The air you breathe, light you experience, sounds you hear, materials you touch, and spaces you move through can influence how you feel, sleep, recover, connect, and ultimately how well you live.

  • HØMESTEAD begins with a simple belief: the spaces we live in shape the way we feel. We develop and build homes from the human outward, considering how light, air, water, sound, materials, nature, and architecture interact with the body and nervous system. From circadian-supporting lighting and cleaner air and water to restorative bedrooms, movement spaces, sauna, cold plunge, and environments designed for gathering, every element is intentionally considered to support better sleep, deeper recovery, daily movement, and meaningful connection. Built to look beautiful. Designed to make you feel better.

  • Every HØMESTEAD brings architecture, technology, and wellness together. These elements work quietly in the background to shape the way you move, gather, heal, and recover. We don't add wellness to our homes. We design our homes around it.

how OUR SPACES SHAPE YOUR WELLBEING.

How our spaces shape your wellbeing.

  • Grounded

    Materials shape both the sensory experience of a home and the quality of the environment within it.

  • Reset

    Natural materials, thoughtful acoustics, warm light, simplicity, and connection to nature create spaces designed to feel restorative.

  • Recover

    Sauna, cold plunge, restorative spaces, and intentional environments make recovery accessible without leaving home.

  • Breathe

    Advanced filtration and ventilation systems quietly work in the background to create cleaner indoor air.

  • Gather

    Kitchens, dining spaces, courtyards, and outdoor environments are designed to bring people together.

  • Move

    Dedicated spaces for strength, mobility, yoga, meditation, and movement make taking care of your body part of everyday life.

  • Sleep

    Biohacked bedrooms designed around temperature, acoustics, air quality, and circadian rhythms to support deeper, more restorative sleep.

Grounded

The materials we live with every day shape both the sensory experience of a home and the quality of the environment within it.

Reset

Natural materials, thoughtful acoustics, warm light, simplicity, and connection to nature create spaces designed to feel restorative.

Recover

Sauna, cold plunge, restorative spaces, and intentional environments make recovery accessible without leaving home.

Breathe

Advanced filtration and ventilation systems quietly work in the background to create cleaner indoor air.

Gather

Meaningful connection is foundational to wellbeing. We design spaces that naturally bring people together, because the relationships we build can shape how we feel, recover, and ultimately how well we live.

Sleep

Biohacked bedrooms designed around temperature, acoustics, air quality, and circadian rhythms to support deeper, more restorative sleep.

Move

Dedicated spaces for strength, mobility, yoga, meditation, and movement make taking care of your body part of everyday life.

  • The next generation of residential design will consider human wellbeing as deeply as architecture, technology, and aesthetics.

    — Joshua Ellis, HØMESTEAD

  • “This is neuroarchitecture: designing efficient environments based not only on technical parameters... but also on subjective indices such as emotion, happiness and well-being.”

    — ArchDaily

  • “Our brain’s senses, perceptions, thoughts, emotions and actions respond to the air we breathe, the quality of light, the intensity of sound and the color, texture and dimension of all places.”

    — Eve Edelstein, Human Experience Lab

Neuroarchitectural systems that heal.

  • Whole Home Air Filtration System

    High-performance filtration helps reduce airborne particulates, allergens, dust and other pollutants circulating through the home.

  • Lighting and Circadian Health

    Lighting automatically shifts throughout the day to support natural circadian rhythms

  • Water Filtration System

    A whole-home filtration and reverse osmosis system reduces contaminants and impurities, delivering cleaner, higher-quality water designed to support hydration, recovery, and long-term health.

  • Meditation / Yoga Spaces

    Dedicated low-stimulation environment for practices associated with relaxation, attention and nervous-system regulation.

  • Sauna and Heat Therapy

    Creates a dedicated ritual for heat exposure, relaxation and recovery while making wellness practices convenient enough to become habitual.

  • Cold Plunge

    Provides an intentional environment for cold exposure and creates another repeatable recovery/wellness ritual within the home.

  • Natural Materials

    Wood, stone, plaster, linen and other tactile materials create visual warmth and reinforce a connection to the natural environment.

  • Technology and Low Toxin Environment

    Designed with low EMF Design and Wi-fi shutoff switch.
