A home for ideas that transform.
Jacobian House is a home for designed experiences that explore transformation, tension, and balance.
Our work often takes the form of games — tabletop, digital, and experimental — but always centers on clarity, care, and human connection.
Games as Systems
We design games that explore systems; emotional, social, environmental, or strategic. Whether cooperative or competitive, our work uses play to make complex dynamics visible and understandable.
Human-Centered Play
Our work starts with people, not mechanics. We design experiences that prioritize care, accessibility, and how it feels to play together. Especially when the subject matter is messy or real.
Experimental & Digital Projects
Not everything fits on a table. We explore digital and hybrid experiences that translate metaphor, balance, and lived systems into interactive form.
Creative Collaboration
Some projects are sparked internally; others grow through collaboration. We’re open to thoughtful partnerships, commissioned work, and ideas that align with our values and curiosity.
About
Jacobian House exists as a long-term home for creative work that doesn’t fit neatly into a single category. Many of the projects developed here sit at the intersection of systems, play, and real-world dynamics, and benefit from time, iteration, and thoughtful structure. Rather than treating each idea as a standalone effort, Jacobian House provides a shared framework where related work can grow, evolve, and inform one another.
The studio’s focus is intentionally broad but not undefined. Projects under Jacobian House are connected by an interest in transformation; how systems change under pressure, how balance is created or lost, and how complex ideas can be made tangible through interaction. Games are a primary medium because they allow people to experience these dynamics directly, but the house is designed to support multiple formats, approaches, and collaborations over time.
