Cozy Construct: Cozy Architecture – Designing Homes for Comfort and Connection

At Cozy Construct, our mission is simple: to design architecture that prioritizes comfort, connection, and a sense of home, creating cozy and welcoming spaces that nurture well-being and foster meaningful living. We believe that homes should be sanctuaries of comfort and connection and that by focusing on human-centered design principles, warm materials, and thoughtful spatial layouts, we can create architecture that truly feels cozy and inviting. Whether you’re interested in residential architecture, small home design, hygge-inspired spaces, or creating a sense of home, Cozy Construct will guide you through the “why” of cozy architecture and the “how-to” design homes that are built for comfort and connection.

Our Story

Cozy Construct was founded by Tyler Hilton and Chad Schmidt, two architects with a shared passion for creating homes that feel truly cozy and welcoming. Their years of experience in residential architecture and a focus on human-centered design, combined with a belief that homes should be sanctuaries of comfort and connection, led them to create Cozy Construct as a platform for promoting architecture that prioritizes coziness and well-being.

Tyler brings his technical expertise in residential design and a focus on functional layouts and comfortable spaces to Cozy Construct, while Chad infuses his artistic sensibility and a passion for creating warm and inviting interiors and incorporating hygge-inspired design elements into every architectural project, design concept, and resource guide. Together, they’ve explored cozy home styles and comfort-focused design principles from around the world (from Scandinavian hygge homes to rustic cabins) to curate a collection of projects and insights that embody the essence of cozy architecture: designing homes for comfort and connection.

Why we started Cozy Construct

Unlike many architecture firms focused solely on grand scale or cutting-edge aesthetics, Cozy Construct is dedicated to the principles and practices of cozy architecture and human-centered design. Yes, you’ll find stunning examples of residential projects and innovative designs, but you’ll also delve into the why behind cozy architecture and its benefits for well-being and connection. Why is coziness important in home design? How do warm materials and textures create a welcoming atmosphere? When does spatial layout enhance comfort and connection? And how can embracing cozy architecture principles contribute to happier and more fulfilling home lives? By exploring these elements, you’ll unlock the potential of cozy architecture with Cozy Construct.

We celebrate the beauty of comfort, connection, and architecture that creates a true sense of home. Cozy Construct isn’t just about designing houses; it’s about creating homes that nurture well-being, foster connection, and provide a sanctuary of comfort and coziness for the people who live there. That’s why Cozy Construct encourages you to prioritize human-centered design, embrace warm and inviting aesthetics, and above all, enjoy the journey of creating cozy architecture that is built for comfort and connection with Tyler and Chad.
