H4H and Knoll





Learning about the house of the immediate future was very interesting. Habitat for Humanity constructs different houses depending on the area they are in. The materials, style of building, and size of the house are similar to the houses that already exist in that area. I thought it was nice that they did not have one cookie-cutter style house that they just plopped down in different countries.

Visiting Knoll was one of the highlights of this trip for me. It was so awesome that we got to learn about all these different chair types and about desk units for offices. It is really amazing that they put so much time into learning how people function in their workplace and what works best for them. So much time goes into the development of their office chairs, it is incredible.
