What is a Healthy Home?

The average American will spend an estimated 87% of their lives indoors, with 62% of our waking time in our own homes. The home environment should allow your family to breathe easily, live comfortably, and grow sanitarily. For these reasons, designing and building your luxury home as a healthy home, curated for health, wellness, and longevity is important. Consider looking beyond the construction process with the understanding that in your home you will be building relationships, building memories, and building your life. Your home should be a haven for both mind and body.

So, what is considered a Healthy Home?

A healthy home integrates products, systems, design elements, and personalized features working together to meet your unique health needs to become your sanctuary of well-being.

7 things that could be considered when designing my Healthy Home:

Relationships and Connection. Consider open floor plans that encourage socializing and gathering with friends and family, warm & comfortable spaces for meaningful conversations, as well as outdoor spaces that provide opportunities for neighbors to connect and build relationships.

Clean air and Water. A home with clean air and water ensures that its residents breathe in oxygen-rich, pollutant-free air, reducing the risk of respiratory issues, allergies, and other health problems. Moreover, clean air and water promote mental clarity, enhance overall comfort, and foster a sense of tranquility, making the home a more pleasant and inviting space.

Natural Light. Consider large windows that allow natural light to flood the interior, creating a bright and welcoming space. Natural light has been shown to improve mood, promote better sleep, and boost productivity, making it an essential element of a healthy home.

Good Sleep. Consider creating a resting space that promotes peaceful and comfortable sleep. This ensures that you wake up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day.

Good Nutrition. Consider an environment that supports healthy eating habits. Kitchens can be equipped with high-end appliances and ample counter space, making it easy to prepare and enjoy nutritious meals. Features like vegetable gardens, herb gardens, and fruit trees built into landscaping provide opportunities to grow and enjoy the freshest produce.

Exercise. Physical activity is essential for good health. Consider outdoor spaces like patios, courtyards, and balconies that provide opportunities for exercise and relaxation. You can also incorporate home gym spaces and spas into your home, ensuring that you have access to convenient and effective spaces that focus on your physical health.

Purpose, Meaning, Spirituality. Consider a dedicated workspace for pursuing your passions, a serene meditation space for finding inner peace, or a quiet room to connect with the divine, our homes are designed to support your journey.
