Living Well | The Defining Role of Wellness in Luxury
a curated collection of notable homes and opportunities
October 24
What if the greatest luxury is how a home makes you feel?
Elegant architecture and exceptional finishes will always have their place, but the definition of luxury is evolving. Increasingly, it's about how a home supports our well-being, offering more than beautiful surroundings. It's about creating or highlighting an environment where we can feel our best, find balance and make wellness a natural part of everyday life.
This month, we're exploring four remarkable homes, beginning in Beverly Hills, where dedicated spaces for movement and recovery bring wellness into the daily routine. In Miami Beach, a quieter waterfront setting offers a different kind of luxury, while a reimagined lakefront penthouse in Wilmette highlights the importance of natural light and thoughtful design. Finally, in Southern Utah, striking desert architecture incorporates the surrounding landscape into the living experience.
Each offers its own perspective on what it means to live well, with wellness extending beyond the amenities themselves to the way we experience home.
Whether one of these homes inspires you or you're considering wellness-focused living closer to home or beyond, we'd welcome the opportunity to explore the possibilities with you.
