About Us
Living Design Consultants (LDC) bridges hard-scientific principles such as Earth Systems Science and bio-electromagnetics, together with principles and practices common to many ancient philosophies that understand sacred geometry, prana, and the principles underlying Feng Shui that contribute to inner and outer harmony and ultimately, world peace.
Our specialized consulting services for architectural design and energy harmonizing products provide a full and balanced spectrum of frequencies common to all life, assisting Nature in self-balance. Through conscious organization of natural and human-made environments, chaotic, life-depleting, electromagnetic fields are effectively synchronized with the vibrational balance of Nature’s own blueprint, resulting in rejuvenation and restoration over time.
How We Started
Tika Vales Caldwell, a professional designer, and Richard Spalding Caldwell, an award-winning commercial and residential architect, combined their professions of environmental energy balancing, personal transformation, and architecture for well-being as Living Design Technology. Both were trained in Vesica Institute Advanced Biogeometry™, creating a New Science of Earth Healing, and promoting Holistic Healthy Homes.
Currently, Tika and her LDT team work with private clients, developers, architects, interior designers, builders and master gardeners to apply the benefits of Energy Balancing to their personal lives, homes, and projects.

Richard Spalding Caldwell, an award-winning commercial and residential architect and artist, received his B.A. in Architecture from LSU in 1962. In his early years of study, he developed a deep appreciation for Japanese architecture after sketching and photographing buildings and gardens while living in Japan. He also engaged in the personal study of early Louisiana architecture and its relationship to Caribbean architecture through travel and sketching and photographing buildings in the islands, another early influence.
In 1998 he met Dr. Ibrahim Karim and discovered the science and art of BioGeometry and Sacred Geometry as it relates to architecture. That same year, he worked with Andreas Duany to complete a week-long design Charrette in Baton Rouge. The resulting plan served as a comprehensive guide to redevelop the city’s downtown using new urbanist principles. Recently, Richard worked with the city of Brevard, NC to apply New Urbanist principles to their new comprehensive development plan.
Since 2000, Richard received extensive training from two thought leaders in the fields of BioGeometry and subtle energy: Dr. Ibrahim Karim, the founder of BioGeometry, an emergent scientific field of “the energy of forms” that lies at the intersection of science and spirituality; and Dr. Robert Gilbert, founder of the Vesica Institute and a former US Marine Corps Instructor in the field of Nuclear Biological Chemical Defense with more than 25 years of teaching and working with the detection and protection against harmful radiations.
Richard’s passion was expressing harmonic proportions in all areas of design. He developed a deep understanding of its value to optimize both grace and well-being.
