Mysa Hus: Quiet Design in Custom Homes
A few weeks ago, we hosted our first-ever Live at Mysa Hus Curious Builder Podcast. We brought our brand partners, friends, builders, designers, and the broader curious community into the home to talk about what shaped this project. Pella. Huber Zip. Rockwool. Each of these partners didn’t just sponsor the build, they shaped the feeling of the home itself: Quiet. Calm. Intentional.
This wasn’t just another event. It was an experience in quiet design in custom homes, and how sound, not just looks, creates luxury inside a home.
Why We Hosted a Live Podcast at Mysa Hus
I’ve always believed that we build community the same way we build homes: layer by layer and conversation by conversation.
We had this incredible roster of brand partners who each played a critical role in creating the calm, wellness-forward environment that Mysa is known for. Instead of tagging them in posts or writing about their products after the fact, I wanted us all to sit inside the space they helped build and talk openly about why it feels the way it does.
The live format created something honest and collaborative: a conversation about intention, wellness, and the craftsmanship behind every detail.
Wellness, Longevity, and Feeling
Throughout the panel, a few themes came up again and again: wellness, longevity, and feeling.
Pella shared how window placement and airflow can literally support mental clarity. Rockwool talked about soundproofing and thermal performance from the standpoint of peace of mind, not specs. Huber Zip explained how their system protects the “bones” of a home through extreme Minnesota weather, improving air quality from the inside out.
What struck me was how aligned everyone was around the idea that homes should support people—not just shelter them. When you work with partners who share your values, the home almost builds itself, because every decision is pushing you toward the same outcome.
Why These Partners
I hand-selected Pella, Huber, and Rockwool for this project not just for what they make, but for how they build, how they communicate, and what they care about.
Pella
Their craftsmanship has always been a staple for us. But their integrated shades and clean profiles fit seamlessly into the Scandinavian vision of Mysa Hus. Their work is about visual, structural, and experiential clarity.
Huber Zip System
In a wellness-forward home, air quality matters. Moisture control matters. Durability matters. Huber’s system is leading the way, especially in climates like ours.
Rockwool
Their products insulate and quiet a home. You feel it as soon as you walk in. There’s this gentle hush, like the home exhales with you.
Recording the Podcast
We had standing room only. People were leaning in, asking thoughtful questions, and really absorbing the space. It felt less like a podcast recording and more like a fireside chat with builders, architects, and homeowners who genuinely care about craft.
And the best part? The home itself became part of the conversation. You could feel the quiet. You could see the natural light shift across the room. The space made the ideas tactile, almost touchable.
It was like letting people step inside the values we talk about on the podcast—literally.
A Moment That Stuck With Me
Someone in the audience asked, “What makes this house feel different?”
Before I could answer, one of the panelists said “It’s the quiet.”
Not the lack of noise, but the intentional calm baked into the walls, the materials, the design. And for me, that was one of the most validating moments of the night. Because quiet isn’t something you can photograph. But you can feel it.
It’s one thing to build a beautiful house. It’s another thing entirely to build peace into the walls.
What Quiet Design Means to Me
Quiet design goes beyond noise reduction. It’s about shaping a home that emotionally lowers your shoulders the moment you walk in.
In our world, we’re surrounded by sound: notifications, traffic, conversations, responsibilities. So to create a home that wraps you in calm? That’s luxury. That’s wellness. And that’s the heart of Mysa Hus.

The Power of Rockwool
We used Rockwool Comfortbatt and Safe’n’Sound throughout the interior walls to insulate and shape the soundscape of the home.
I posted a video recently showing how dramatic the difference is. My speaking voice lands around 70–80 decibels. The moment I stop talking? The meter drops to the low 20s. It’s silent in a way that feels almost sacred.
Sound is one of the biggest contributors to how a home feels, and most people don’t realize how much it matters until they walk into a home like Mysa.
A Curious Builder Milestone
Curious Builder has always been about real, unfiltered conversations, like something you’d share over job-site coffee or a late-night text thread with your favorite architect.
Hosting this event reminded me exactly why we do this. We’re here to build homes, yes, but also trust, connection, and awareness around what actually matters in construction.
And standing in that room, surrounded by partners and community members who care deeply about craft and intention, it felt like we were building something bigger than homes.
Curious Builder isn’t a brand, it’s a movement.
