Wellness is one of the most talked-about ideas in real estate development right now — and one of the most misapplied. In this episode, I explore why wellness should be embedded in development strategy from day one, rather than treated as something to add in once the architecture is largely fixed. I look at what genuine wellness integration actually means across different asset types — residential, hospitality, offices and mixed-use — and why the distinction between wellness amenities and a real wellness strategy matters more than ever in an increasingly crowded market. If you work in development, design, investment or hospitality, this one is for you. * greenhealthyplaces.com [https://www.greenhealthyplaces.com/] * biofilico.com [https://biofilico.com/] * biofit.io [https://biofit.io/]
In this episode we explore a topic that is often underestimated, even in my own circles, and yet fundamental to how we feel, think and perform in an indoor environment > lighting. I'm talking to Farah Naser of Tactile Architectural Lighting Consultancy in Rotterdam, The Netherlands whose work focuses specifically on how to use light not just as a visual tool but as a biological and emotional driver of wellbeing. * Tactile Lighting [https://www.tactile-lighting.com/] website * Tactile Lighting [https://www.instagram.com/tactile_lighting/] instagram * Green Healthy Places [https://www.greenhealthyplaces.com/]
Welcome back to the Green Healthy Places podcast, where we explore how to create buildings and interiors that actively support health and wellbeing, while respecting the planet too. Today I'm joined by Krista Rochat-Boeser. Krista is a specialist health club designer with deep experience in the US premium fitness market, including around 14 years at LifeTime where she held senior design leadership responsibilities across multiple flagship and luxury club projects. Krista is now based in Bali and is supporting me directly on a number of Biofit gym design projects, so this conversation is very much an expert-to-expert discussion. We go beyond aesthetics and equipment lists to focus on what actually makes a health club work: the strategic intentions of each particular space—whether that's enhancing performance, community, or revenue—and how design decisions, along with service and operations, shape a member's sense of safety, comfort, and belonging. * kristarb.my.canva.site/ [https://kristarb.my.canva.site/] * greenhealthyplaces.com/ [https://www.greenhealthyplaces.com/] * biofit.io/ [https://biofit.io/]
Welcome to episode 91 of the Green Healthy Places podcast in which we discuss the themes of wellbeing and sustainability in the built environment, from buildings to interiors. Today we're in the UK talking to Adam Masters, Assistant Director of Environment and Sustainability at Stonewater, one of the UK's largest social housing providers, with 40,000 homes delivered across the country, an annual turnover of around £300 million and fixed assets on the books of £3.1billion. Stonewater offer homes for rent, shared ownership, and purchase with specialised services such as retirement and supported living schemes, safe spaces for the LGBTQ+ community, domestic abuse refugees, and young people's foyers. So we're going to cover the green, the healthy and the ethical in residential real estate. * Stonewater.org/ [https://www.stonewater.org/] * Stonewater on Linkedin [https://www.linkedin.com/company/stonewateruk/posts/?feedView=all] * Green Health Places [https://www.greenhealthyplaces.com/]
Welcome to episode 090 of the Green Healthy Places podcast in which we discuss the themes of wellbeing and sustainability in our built environment. For this episode I'm in Morocco talking to Jerome Schanker, Founder & CEO of La Tour d'Eole in Dakhla, an upmarket eco-resort with a strong wellness and outdoor watersports angle, specifically kitesurfing, windsurfing and surfing. Jerome launched his hotel development and operations business in 2017 after a successful career in finance, trading equity derivates. Today it is a thriving enterprise set to expand into on-site residences as well as a second site in Cape Verde. Our conversation covers everything from sustainable design that integrates into the landscape; water conservation in the desert; the connection between nature and outdoor wellness; social equity and staff training; as well as Jerome's expansion plans.
