editor Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 I think "wellness focused apartments" is just a rebranding of something that some developers have been doing for years, and it's also part of the amenities race. It seems to happen when developers hire higher-end interior design groups to kit out their buildings, rather than doing it themselves. It's a big change from the "poor person's view of how rich people live" that many apartment buildings employ. One example: Flat screens in the lobby and common areas. When I come home from a hard day at work, I want my building to be welcoming, not cosplaying a sports bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trymahjong Posted November 15, 2023 Author Share Posted November 15, 2023 I googled it Design for wellbeing in architecture refers to design in support of healthy lifestyles and the physical, mental and emotional effects that buildings have on their occupants. https://www.brydenwood.com › des... Design for Wellbeing: Benefits of Sustainable Architecture | Ideas But I guess my thought on what developers could do to incorporate " well being" into development were more along the lines of indoor Aboretum of sorts in the lobby-- bookshelves 0f of " classics" , huge overstuffed armchairs and good reading light, a workout room where huge projection screens show beautiful pictures of nature...a view to a naturalized type of pool with plenty of lush plants and the sound of falling water-- really good outdoor grills for better food preparation--walking paths with native shade trees everywhere.... I am so naive.....the cost would be astronomical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
