The design for MIX HOUSE, one result of a collaboration between Dean Karen Van Lengen / KVLA, Joel Sanders / JSA, and Ben Rubin / EAR Studio, is currently on display at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, Calif. and pictured in the April issue of DWELL magazine as part of a larger exhibition developed by the Vitra Museum in Germany entitled OPEN HOUSE: Intelligent Living By Design.

The collaboration between Dean Van Lengen, Sanders and Rubin, Hearways, builds upon shared interests in architecture, technology and the human senses. The output includes the design of MIX HOUSE, with an analogous installation that explores the possibility of closely coordinating sound and vision as a way to shape and to individualize the experience of the domestic environment.
