A practical, design-forward framework for architects and interior designers who want to create spaces that actively support human health and performance—without compromising aesthetics. This guide helps you translate “wellness” into clear design decisions you can apply across concept, specification, and detailing—so you can reduce hidden environmental stressors, support the nervous system, and deliver spaces that feel as good as they look.
Whether you’re working in residential, hospitality, workplace, or education, Foundations of Wellness-Focused Design gives you a professional lens for integrating health considerations into your workflow—client intake, schematic design, materials, and construction coordination—without adding unnecessary complexity.
You’ll walk away with a clear wellness-focused design structure you can return to on every project, including:
A framework you can apply from concept → specifications → detailing
The core pillars in one place: air + moisture, materials + chemical load, lighting + circadian support, water awareness, and sensory/space psychology
Client intake prompts to clarify priorities early and shape scope with confidence
Spec-direction guidance to support healthier material and finish selections (especially for sensitive clients and high-performance projects)
Project-ready considerations you can use across residential, hospitality, workplace, and education environments
Practical implementation notes to help you translate principles into real decisions, documentation, and deliverables
This isn’t trend language or theory—it’s a grounded foundation to strengthen your design rationale, elevate your specifications with a wellness lens, and expand your value as a health-forward design professional.
