Home Smart Home Documentary

Alongside the essential mobility issues some homes present, lighting, acoustics, room and ceiling structure, ergonomics, and lack of modern technology can also play a massive role in how our environments support our well-being. In Home Smart Home nine subjects with diverse diagnoses and symptoms explore how their homes and specific design scenarios have exacerbated their conditions. They also imagineer the perfect home for their disability, specifying how smart, livable design could facilitate more engaged, supported, and effortless lives.
