Designing for Health and Wealth: Architecture as a Compounding Mechanism for Healthspan, Performance and Capital Value (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781764417808)

MOST LUXURY BUILDINGS ARE DESIGNED TO IMPRESS. FEW ARE DESIGNED TO PERFORM.

Developers and hotel owners can spend millions on finishes and still end up with an asset that quietly under-delivers: restless guests, softer reviews, and repeated complaints about "noise" or "air" that no one can quite diagnose. The space looks premium, but it doesn't feel easy to live in or stay in. That gap costs money.

DESIGNING FOR HEALTH AND WEALTH is a strategic playbook for developers, hotel executives, and property investors who want environments that work as hard as they look. It translates evidence-based design into practical decisions across layout, lighting, materials, acoustics, and indoor air, so spaces support comfort, recovery, focus, and repeat business.

THIS IS NOT A DECORATING BOOK. It's design as leverage, grounded in biophilic design, neuroarchitecture, and interior psychology.

YOU'LL LEARN HOW TO:

• Reduce hidden stressors that erode guest experience and liveability
• Design for calm and clarity without turning the project into a "wellness theme"
• Avoid expensive mid-project redesigns by designing for human response from day one
• Build spaces that strengthen retention, brand perception, and long-term asset value

with examples from industry and clear frameworks
