Hi!

Very good question

The origin of the question can be found in the Ecological system theory developped by Bronfenbrenner

Bronfenbrenner, U. (1986). Ecology of the Family as a Context for Human Development: Research Perspectives. Developmental Psychology, 22(6), 723-742.

In France, I know some works from Alain Legendre about the environnement influencing interactions but specially in day care centers

It is not new but still current

Legendre, A. (2003). Environmental features influencing Toddlers' bio-emotional reactions in day-care centers. Environment and Behavior, 35 (4), 523-549

Legendre, A. (1997). Interactions des jeunes enfants en groupes, les supports et contraintes de l'environnement spatial. Revue de Psychologie de l'éducation. 2 (2), 139-160.

Good luck

Anna Fisher (CMU) has some data on classroom environment (including a 2014 Psych Science paper). My colleague Alison Pike (Sussex, UK) has some data on household chaos that could potentially be relevant.
