Wellness design transcends all market sectors. The pandemic was the great equalizer and left none untouched. Spaces in our future, rooted in wellness design foster a healthy environment with biophilia (connecting architecture and nature), indoor-outdoor space integration, and softly control lighting, materiality, air and sound. This design approach can be applied to all sectors – schools, healthcare, corporate, entertainment, and hospitality. These spaces would be founded in wellness and apply:

• Nimble — user-friendly flexible and adaptable furnishings and spaces to flex with user and community needs.
• Boundaries — use of screens, partitions, or panels to create boundaries, foster a sense of community and identify spaces.
• Nature – use of greenery and connection to nature outdoors, foster indoor-outdoor connections and increase performance of outdoor spaces.
• Environment – create a sanctuary for people to work/play/learn.
• Sustainability – a wellness design approach is a holistic sustainable approach with use of sustainable materials, lighting and HVAC methodology to create healthy built environments.
