When adapting, making, & designing spaces for human habitation sometimes the most seemingly unimportant question may help unlock potential for a space that increases your likeliness towards happiness and the happiness of those around you. Sure, happiness is thought best coming from within, but I’m sure you will agree that we are more likely to prefer and prosper within environments that are ‘considered spaces’ rather than ones that chaotically weather us to the edge of ourselves. Considered space is what allows us to ‘be’ and how well we go about doing just this.
So what has this to do with a fruit basket? Where is your fruit basket, and if you don’t have one why not? If you did, where would you put it? Would it have a permanently defined place within your controllable space, or is your concept of a fruit basket ephemeral amongst your day to day life and subject to change without notice?
This is one of so many questions, and one that may lead towards better design of your space. It isn’t about complexity, it is a matter of being comprehensive about all that is you. I haven’t considered my fruit basket until now and the question will be on my list of considerations in the next home design I work on.
