How Home Design Can Improve Your Physical And Mental Health
By Green Edge Builders|August 02, 2021
As a space that you spend the most of our time in, it’s only natural that your home environment influences your sense of well-being. However, this is often overlooked. Good health depends on having homes that are safe and free from physical hazards while poor quality and inadequate housing contributes to numerous health problems that could range from chronic diseases to injuries - not only causing harmful effects but also impacting childhood development. From chemical, to biological, physical and radiation, toxins hold significant detrimental effects to yourself and your family.
In this article, we share ways you can improve your health and well-being with your home.
What is ergonomics?
Ergonomics is the science of structuring a building or system in a way that fits the people who are in them and maximising comfort.
While it is a relatively new scientific discipline, having only been studied from the mid-20th century, it is based on the research of older, established sciences. These include:
As you can see from this small sample of a diverse range of scientific disciplines, ergonomics draw on many different origins to map out our ideal state of comfort.
Biophilic design is an example of looking to nature for ergonomic inspiration for creating living and working spaces that people are naturally drawn to and comfortable in. Biophilic design principles are drawn from the notion that humans have an innate desire to be in and around nature. Hence, biophilic home builders in Melbourne have taken to incorporating natural elements and processes that mimic nature, which has proven to have astoundingly positive effects on the health and well-being of those who live in these homes.
There are many improvements you can make to your home to make it more ergonomic, with ergonomic furniture now widely available at all different price points. If you’re looking for custom home builders in Melbourne to build your house with ergonomics in mind, contact us and we’ll talk you through the perfect house to suit your own unique needs.
Rife Frequencies
On the other end of the frequency scale to the harmful electromagnetic frequencies are Rife Frequencies. In the 1930s, Dr Royal Raymond Rife invented a frequency generator that was found to vastly improve the health of those exposed to audio or radio waves generated by the machine.
Rife frequency generator machines are available for purchase from as low as $25 all the way up to thousands of dollars, all depending on the amount of power capacity the specific model has.
Faraday Cage & EMR Blockers
With technology these days, there have been numerous reports of the increase in electromagnetic radiation being detrimental to people’s health and significantly increasing the risk of many life-threatening health conditions. Since avoiding technology completely is not a practical option in this day and age, there are electromagnetic radiation blocking devices you can use to help block the harmful radiation from doing harm to your body.
One such device is the Faraday cage, a mesh of conductive material that acts as a shield to emitted electromagnetic radiation. There are many products that block electromagnetic radiation such as phone and laptop cases, headphones and even clothes.
Pyramid Power
Pyramid power has been an established new-age phenomenon since the 1930s when the pyramid shape was found to create energy forces that account for seemingly inexplicable effects in the natural world. Among some of these are:
Since then, pyramid structures have become a state-of-the-art relaxation and healing experience.
In order to harness the benefits of pyramid power in the home, we build pyramid structures using curtain material, applying the Fibonacci series for maximum effect.
There are a number of ways you can improve health and well-being in your home and many won’t cost you very much at all. Having said that, for the best chance at becoming your healthiest, it is key to build a home that’s perfectly suited to your unique needs and lifestyle.

While it is a relatively new scientific discipline, having only been studied from the mid-20th century, it is based on the research of older, established sciences. These include:
- Social psychology: The branch of psychology that deals with social interactions, including their origins and effects on individuals. This involves studying groups, communication, learning and behaviours.
- Biomechanics: The study of the mechanical laws relating to the movement or structure of living things.
- Anthropometry: The study of the measurements and proportions of the human body, and it’s variation among populations.
- Environmental physics: The measurement and analysis of interactions between organisms and their environment.
- Applied psychology: The use of psychological principles to solve behavioural problems such as those relating to skill, learning, errors, and differences in behaviour among people.

- The sharpening of objects
- Improving general health and well-being
