Your environment is shaping you.
We make it work for you.
Where Science Meets Design™
Where design delivers measurable impact.
Living Luxury Lab™ (L3™) translates decades of neuroscience and neuroaesthetics research into evidence-based environmental design — measurably improving how people sleep, think, heal, and perform in the built environments where they spend 90% of their lives.
Your nervous system responds to every room.
The Science
Neuroaesthetics is the scientific study of how our brains and bodies respond to sensory experiences — including the visuals, sounds, and spatial orientations of the built environments we inhabit every day. When we understand those responses, design becomes medicine.
L3™ applies decades of peer-reviewed research across sensory modalities — light, acoustics, texture, natural pattern, spatial proportion, and biophilic elements — to create environments that measurably support health, cognition, and emotional regulation.
This is not interior design as usual.
This is design as a health intervention.
Our World-Class Science Advisory Board
Credentialed at the frontier of the field.
Dr. Richard Taylor
Science Advisory LeadPhysics Professor, University of Oregon. Author of 200+ peer-reviewed papers on fractal geometry and the brain. His landmark research established that fractal patterns — the repeating geometries found throughout nature — measurably reduce cortisol by up to 60%. Consulted on hospital, school, and workplace design worldwide. Holds multiple neurodesign patents.
Dr. Sally Augustin
behavioral science LeadFellow of the American Psychological Association and past-president of its Environmental Psychology Division. Core Researcher at the UC Berkeley Interdisciplinary Center for Healthy Workplaces.

Residential Projects
A personalized, room-by-room analysis of your home through the lens of neuroaesthetics. We identify how your current environment affects your nervous system and exactly how to improve your sleep, mood, and well-being.
CONSULTATION
Let's talk about what your environment could do for you.
No aesthetic opinion. Only science.
Every recommendation we make is grounded in peer-reviewed research and calibrated for outcomes.
Personalized for neurologic benefit.
Your nervous system is unique. Your environment should be designed accordingly — not for a generic ideal.
A perspective founded in art and technology.
An unmatched team of scientists, designers, and technologists committed to the science of design.
Comfort in one’s environment should be a fundamental
human right.
At Living Luxury Lab™, we translate proven neuroscience into everyday design guidance and product selections that people can actually use.
