This concept represents a fusion of sophisticated urban dwelling with health-conscious amenities and designs. It denotes residential properties, often located in prime city locations, that prioritize residents’ physical and mental well-being through features such as rooftop fitness centers, open-air recreational spaces, and designs that maximize natural light and ventilation. For example, a newly constructed apartment complex with a yoga studio on the top floor, a walking track surrounding the building’s perimeter, and large windows in each unit could be considered an embodiment of this living approach.
The increasing demand for these types of residences stems from a growing awareness of the positive correlation between environment and overall health. These residences offer an escape from the confines of traditional urban living, providing convenient access to resources that promote an active lifestyle without sacrificing the benefits of city living. Historically, access to outdoor recreational space was often a luxury associated with suburban or rural living. This approach democratizes that access, incorporating it into the fabric of dense urban environments.
