People perform better when they feel good in their environment, have a comfortable and strong feeling about their appearance and the way they are dressed and have their minds uncluttered. As a consequence, integrating in the environment, dressing up to the occasion and removing chaotic and stressful situations are key elements in enhancing the feeling of well being.

Metagination believes in the integration of Home, Office and Human. While other sections on our website have already introduced the aspects of intelligent and innovative homes and offices as well as the importance of playing the human senses, we believe that integrating the lifestyle is needed to complete the puzzle.

A projection decorated wall may bring a variety of world art to display but should not exclude a few very nice real three-dimensional works of art.  A television in a fitness room is nice but cannot be compared to a fully integrated multimedia environment submerging you in whatever virtual place you would like to run-in and later on bike-in and in both cases see the meadows of Flanders, Belgium, or the Tropical Rain Forest on the road to Hanna in Maui, Hawaii, glide beside you. You might even feel that you have to push harder on a climb!

Why should lounge furniture be reserved to a lounge, why not hang in it with some ‘Girl from Ipanema’ style music mixed with some subtle tropical sounds on the background while watching a pacific sunset, projected floor to roof on your wall, delimited by some of your tropical plants. You can even smell the mixture of ocean and tropical air and feel a nice warm breeze but that is nothing compared to the comfortable way the lounge furniture allows your partner to lay against you while you take a sip of your total experience low calorie non-alcoholic drink. You’ll sleep like a baby afterwards, while falling asleep still hearing the ocean and a occasional random selection of discrete tropical sounds because that is what your brain expects if you just moved from the ocean side to your bedroom. Maybe you even had to carry your partner to the bedroom because the relaxation and the safety feeling dragged her into a deep happy sleep.

That is what we mean by integrating the Human with the House or Office. As the world becomes more aggressive and dangerous, investing in cocooning will become more popular.
