Center of House

In 1890, American philosopher William James wrote, "what we attend to is reality." In other words, we become what we pay attention to.

Modern businesses are cultural products - their value comes from the behaviors and mindsets they spread. Like a garden, it is a living thing that needs to be taken care of, it cannot be rushed, and is always changing. We are choosing to live slower and more intentionally in an age where everything is becoming oriented around the pursuit of our fleeting attention.

We focus our attention on purpose-driven experiences, learning, creativity, fun, and creative food.

The Center of House world exists for a brief moment in time. It is one full of human connection, meaning, and authenticity. A world that is always changing and adapting, but where cultural depth and craftsmanship are approached with respect and care. In this world, process is just as important as the product.

Through food we connect to our own cultures, as well as the cultures of others. The stories surrounding dishes create memories we carry with us throughout our lives.

Join us in creating more of what we wish to see in the world. ◡̈
