Podcast appearances and mentions of kate hamblet

As life has drastically changed for many of us in the past year, we begin to look at our spaces differently. We not only spend the majority of time within our homes, but also in the spaces between our homes. For most of us, however, these spaces were not designed in order to promote health and wellbeing. On this episode of The Regenerative Real Estate Podcast, we take a deep dive into the life and work of architect Kate Hamblet. Kate's firm, Balanced Architecture, emerged from the intersecting passions for sustainability, wellness, and experiential design.  These three areas of design have shaped the way Kate creates and views architecture.  From a very early age Kate's love of nature sparked a deep chord and helped filter how she saw the built environment. There is balance and harmony in a building that listens to its occupants and the surrounding environment.  For her, nature is an amazing learning lab and provides an abundance of inspiration for my designs.Tune into this episode to learn about Kate's work and the movement of healthy homes.

SHOW NOTES: In this podcast episode, we welcome Kate Hamblet back. Kate was on last week’s episode, discussing how to create a home that supports your health and well-being.  This week, she takes us through some key spaces and rooms in your home, and how to design them so they improve your lifestyle, and make your home a healthy one. Kate is owner and architect at Balanced Architecture, and she’s a licensed architect and sustainability expert.

I barely made my way through that first year, and I knew something needed to change.  I needed to find calm in my life as a working mom. Since I wasn't able to do too much about the stress at work, I decided to look at what was causing my stress at home.  And then I realized that the house I was coming home to was not set up for providing wellness. It was actually hindering my and my family's health and happiness. I went to work making small adjustments to my home that had a big impact on our health and wellness.  Within a few months I was seeing changes in my mood. I was eating better. I was getting a better night's sleep.  I was more productive at work.   And most importantly, the time I spent with my family improved dramatically.  Creating a home that promoted wellness was a life saver for my happiness, my relationships and my sanity!” With well over a decade of architectural design experience, Kate has the expertise to guide families toward the creation of a home they will fall in love with, all while keeping them safe and encouraging a healthy lifestyle.  Listen to the episode now.

And their finished home never lives up to the dreams they held so dear.
