This is my journey to a better, smarter and more beautiful home – it can be yours too!
Home is where is you spent a lot of your time. It is also a small slice of the world you can totally make your own. My goal is to fully use this freedom to make my home beautiful and smart at the same time.
I like to build things in my free time and I am a professional software engineer. For my home I am combining these skills to build beautiful, yet usable custom furniture of all kinds as well as use electronics to make my home smart enough to react on its own.
This blog is a place to share all of this with the world. I hope it helps someone out there who might be on the same journey.
