In recent years, a significant shift has occurred in the conceptualisation and design of second homes, placing a growing emphasis on seamlessly integrating health and well-being into everyday living. This new approach to architecture and interior design underscores the important link between the physical spaces and our well-being.
At Avās Living, our core design principles embody the fusion of form and function, intrinsically connecting personal well-being with our environments. Moving away from conventional real estate norms, our focus is on optimising wellness by maximising natural light, adhering to circadian lighting, avoiding toxic materials, and increasing exposure to nature. Incorporating technology to monitor and optimise indoor air quality and other markers for improved sleep, vitality, and moods are key features of wellness interiors and modern sustainable homes. The idea is to create environments that foster a holistic approach to living, where people can achieve a balanced lifestyle that includes work, leisure, and wellbeing. Designing spaces that blend modern design with wholesome living and sustainability is attracting health-conscious buyers seeking luxury away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Interestingly, Alibaug is emerging as a hotspot and a favourite destination for real estate emphasising the holiday home concept. The serene atmosphere, combined with easy accessibility through new infrastructure developments like the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link and the Navi Mumbai Airport creates a compelling value proposition for second home buyers.
The popularity of wellness lifestyle real estate and community living is rising in India and around the world. These communities often integrate wellness-focused features such as spas, fitness centres, green spaces and possibly even holistic health services offering residents a healthy living environment while also cultivating community engagement through exciting events. The Avās Wellness Centre and Spa combine Ayurvedic treatments with data-driven personalised wellness metrics, which serves as a space for detoxification, stress relief, and relaxation. Every element is carefully crafted to nurture the physical, mental, and spiritual well-being of residents.
Moreover, technology plays a pivotal role in enhancing health and well-being in second homes. Smart home systems regulate lighting, temperature, and air quality, creating an optimal indoor environment. Home automation facilitates remote monitoring of health metrics, empowering residents to proactively manage their well-being. We have our own home management app for our latest project in Alibaug and it proves to be very helpful for villa owners to connect with the community while providing dynamic health and wellness insights, including biometrics and environmental data.
Sustainability is a key consideration. The integration of eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient features aims to reduce environmental impact and create vibrant, integrated communities of like-minded people by blending nature with contemporary design. The homes are designed to form a neighbourhood that is both technologically advanced and sustainably minded, with a focus on raw, earthy textures and mindful minimalism completed with personalised outdoor areas.
In conclusion, the evolution of second home design reflects a profound understanding of the intrinsic connection between our living spaces and our well-being.
