This project is inspired by the ideas surrounding the enhancement of sleep through sound, as well as the ideas that sounds can potray a feeling of comfort, which ultimately creates a feeling of safety and being grounded, with the idea of creating a safe-space for individuals to relax eventually becoming almost like a second home. The notion of sound homes evolved from this concept, in which each 'pod' has a distinct and specified sound, allowing the user to pick which environment is most suitable for them. For example, sounds of water, the ocean, whales, and white noise are just some of the noises played in the pods to elicit diverse feelings and experiences in the user's brain, allowing for a more relaxed condition.
