"This is no ordinary office: it features lighting that mimics natural daylight, acoustic wall and ceiling panels to minimise noise, and swoon-worthy Le Corbusier and USM Haller furniture. Members have access to breath-work and yoga sessions, cold plunges, Finnish and infrared saunas, HydraFacials and IV drips. In short, Valentyns is reimagining the office as somewhere - well - pleasant, reflected in the fact that, since moving in, members have reported a 30 per cent drop in sick days. 'We create spaces that actively support regeneration,'"
"It aims to become the UK's first to achieve the WELL Community Gold Standard - a benchmark for healthy communities. As such, it will feature more than 30,000 sq ft of wellness-focused facilities, including gyms, pools, hot/cold therapy rooms, napping pods, digital detox spaces, art therapy, and classes for breath work, meditation and movement. Buildings will be equipped with water and air filtration systems and a terrace or garden every three floors."
Designers and developers are reimagining workplaces and mixed-use developments to prioritise human wellbeing through environmental, recovery and programming features. Examples include Valentyns in Cologne, offering natural-daylight lighting, acoustic panels, premium furniture, breath-work and yoga, cold plunges, saunas, HydraFacials and IV drips, with a reported 30% drop in sick days. The Round in London targets WELL Community Gold with 30,000 sq ft wellness facilities, filtration systems and terraces every three floors. The global wellness market was $5.6 trillion in 2023 and is projected to grow, driven largely by Gen Z and Millennials seeking wellbeing-focused environments.
